You may have heard that Barron Hilton, the eighteen-year-old brother of Paris and Nikki, was arrested for DUI two days ago. Apparently he called his sister, Paris, to pay his $20,000 bail and get him out of jail, but she refused, telling him he needs to learn his lesson. I guess he didn’t learn from […]

My oldest child is entering Middle School this fall, and as much as I truly want to believe that my kids will never try drugs, skip school or become sexually active too early, you just never know. I know quite a few families who I feel did a great job being involved with their kids […]
