Hoda Kotb Cries Over Kelly Clarkson’s Song Inspired by Her Children’s Book (Video)

By

Kelly Clarkson is known for her amazing singing talents, but is also famous for her ability to be real on and off the stage. Kelly is known for causing a tear or two with her songs that touch our hearts, but Hoda Kotb really felt some love when she heard Kelly sing her new song, I’ve Loved You Since Forever on the Today Show.

The song was inspired by Hoda’s new children’s book. Shortly after writing the book Hoda said she thought, “Wouldn’t that be cool if someone could sing the book?” That’s when singer, songwriter and mom Kelly Clarkson came into the picture.

Hoda even got involved by recording a shaker in the background! Hoda couldn’t hold back the tears as she thanked Kelly for translating her book into song. It was such a touching moment, it caused Kelly to start crying. Just as a warning, you may want to grab some tissue – you’ll probably cry too after watching it.

Babies Who Look Like Their Fathers Are Healthier?

By

Well at least that’s what this study says. The study found that even though an infant may be living with his or her single mother, they tend to be healthier after one year if the infant closely resembles their father.  This may be attributed to a youngster who closely resembles his or her dad is more likely to spend time with him.

If looks could heal: Child health and paternal investment is the name of the research and was published in the Journal of Health Economics. It looked at 715 mothers and fathers who did not live together. These single parents were interviewed just after birth and then again just less than a year later. One of the authors of the study, Solomon Polachek, a professor at New York’s Binghamton University stated that “Fathers are important in raising a child, and it manifests itself in the health of the child.”

It was also noted that fathers who looked a lot like their babies spent an average of 2.5 more days per month with them rather than those fathers who didn’t resemble their offspring.

Historic Women Are Being Made Into Barbie’s

By

Barbie is no longer just a blonde bombshell with a dream house and corvette. Soon, Kids will be able to own a Barbie doll bearing the likeness of Frida Kahlo, Amelia Earhart or Katherine Johnson. How cool is that?
The dolls are part of Mattel’s new series called “Inspiring Women,” and will be available to children around the world, although there is not yet a firm release date for when they will hit shelves. Mattel has said each will come with educational information about the woman who inspired it.

Lisa McKnight, the senior vice president and general manager of Barbie, said “As a brand that inspires the limitless potential in girls, Barbie will be honoring its largest line up of role models timed to International Women’s Day, because we know that you can’t be what you can’t see. Girls have always been able to play out different roles and careers with Barbie and we are thrilled to shine a light on real life role models to remind them that they can be anything.”

How To Catch A Leprechaun

By

Leprechaun’s do not give up their pots of gold easily which is why one must be very crafty when trying to catch one. You have to be able to outwit them for sure – but a good, clever trap is the real key to catching a Leprechaun.

Using everyday crafting items and maybe some kitchen pantry tools, you and your child can easily make simple, yet creative traps that will hopefully make your St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun catching a success!

One of the easiest and most effective Leprechaun traps to make uses a stick, a laundry hamper or an empty box, and what Leprechaun’s find the most unavoidable, a pot of gold. It’s simple, yet very effective.

You can also tempt the little guys with sweets. Leprechaun’s have a major sweet tooth. Try making a Cake Trap! Make a cake with a rainbow filling, covered in green frosting. Place a few chocolate coins on top to really tempt them.

Since Leprechaun’s are always running around causing mischief, they get tired. You can make a Leprechaun hotel out of a cardboard box. Decorate it with glitter, rainbow’s, gold coins and maybe write FREE LUCKY CHARMS on it. I bet that’ll do it! 

How about a Lego trap. Kids love Lego’s Just  just need plenty of pieces and, of course, a Lego leprechaun mini figure, but it’ll keep the kids occupied for at least one whole afternoon.
