Parenting & Family

  • Black Walnut Cookies

    This recipe sounds great! Everyone here at 30Threads are happy your family could hunt down the recipe so that you could share it with everyone!

  • It’s Tough To Be a Working Parent

    Keith from “Daddy’s Fish Bowl” talks about how tough it is being a working dad and missing out on some of the most important moments in life.

  • Do You Have the Right Stroller for Your Baby?

    The Dove Marketplace blog gives some pretty specific advice on what type of stroller is right for you, your baby/babies, and activities.

  • Five things a Raleigh dad has learned after two years of parenting

    Raleigh Daddy 2.0 had to upgrade the name of his blog to 3.0 recently because his daughter celebrated another birthday. He shares his thoughts on fatherhood thus far on his blog, including this list of five things he has learned so far:

  • Have you ever craved alone time as much as this Raleigh blogger?

    If you’ve ever craved some alone time, be it some time away from the kids, the boyfriend, the hubby, whoever, then you’ve got to read Raleigh blogger Ilina’s post about “me time.” She writes about how difficult it is to get as a mom and wife, and how sometimes she craves her single-girl’s apartment:

  • The truth about vacations with the family

    One thing I love about Raleigh blogger Iliana is her candor. Last week she was making me jealous with tweets about visiting Chicago. But now that she’s back she offers a glimpse of what the trip was really like. Turns out there was more to the story than her tweets revealed:

  • Hey Mom, dye my hair green and make me a blue duck-shaped cake

    I love this flashback Raleigh blogger Lisa posted about her son’s fifth birthday. Turns out she agreed to buy Manic Panic hair dye and turn his hair green. And then she agreed to make him a blue duck-shaped cake. Sounds odd, I know, but read her well-written post for a smile & photos:

  • Would you use cloth diapers on your baby?

    My mom always told me she used cloth diapers on me when I was a baby and I thought she was crazy. That was almost 30 years ago. I didn’t realize moms were still using cloth diapers, but it makes sense in these eco-conscious times. Triangle mom explains her experience with them:

  • Local blogger’s son shows us proper ninja techniques

    In case you were wondering (and even if you weren’t) Raleigh blogger Lisa’s young son shows us how to do a proper ninja bow in the latest video on her blog, The Glowing Edge. The 1:12 clip is definitely worth the watch, whether you need to know ninja techniques or not:

  • You better duck when you’re driving under Raleigh power lines

    Raleigh Daddy 2.0 blogs about a new game his daughter has started playing with him in the car. Whenever they drive under power lines or bridges, they have to duck. He explains how the game works, and why it’s better than “I Spy.”
