Some people are doing everything they can to keep their hair long, bouncy, and beautiful. After all, it is only a must to keep our hair healthy and beautiful because it is the only crown we will never take off. Thus, to keep our hair in its best condition, a lot of hair products are flooding the market. While we sink an embarrassing amount of money into expensive hair products and vitamins, others have been naturally blessed with luscious locks. Well, Baby Chanco is in the second group. The six-month-old Japanese girl became famous for her exquisite hairdo after her…

You have certainly experienced the situation. Whether as the annoyed co-passenger plagued by screaming babies on a long flight or the distraught parent desperately trying to calm your child down A mother of young children is now being praised on social media for how she solved the problem on a 10-hour flight between Seoul, South Korea, and San Francisco, California, in the USA. The mother was fully aware of the problem; it is extremely difficult to avoid a baby having a few bouts of crying within ten hours. She had therefore brought something with her that would appease the fellow…

Parenting is a huge challenge, especially if a person becomes a parent at a very young age. This is exactly what happened with Maddie Lambert. She was only 14 when she found out she would be a mom.

“Adoption was something my husband Tomas and I had always talked about and we knew would be in the cards for us when having a family. We had planned like most to have biological children first and then adopt for our last child. I was approaching 30 and the topic of starting a family became more serious for us. Every time I started thinking about having kids I didn’t feel right about it, like something felt off. I was at church one Sunday and during prayer the idea of adoption popped in my mind, and starting with adoption from foster…

“For years I’ve been surrounded by girls — my wife, my two daughters, even my dog. But then we decided to have one more baby… and one ultrasound later, I was having a BOY! A boy to throw the ball with. A boy to take hunting and fishing. And a boy to escape the drama of two, little girls. A boy that would be named after me. A boy to carry on my last name. A boy I could cheer on in baseball games, football games, soccer, and whatever else he was going to do. Maybe he’d even be the…

“I’ve been trying to fit in and/or stand out my entire life. I’ve always been stuck in the space of not wanting to be laughed at for being odd, nor viewed as ordinary. So imagine my immediate dismay then eventual delight when I was lucky enough to have a child with Down syndrome. I always radiate towards the way our family stands apart from others. We were recently at a restaurant where I could feel a little boy boring holes into my 4-year-old Judah, who has Down syndrome. It was without malice and more born from curiosity. I watched him turn…

My OB guilt-tripped me into getting the genetic tests done. Not because I was at risk, I was 19, and it wouldn’t matter to us either way. She wanted us to be prepared. I gave in. After my first round of tests, I developed a strange feeling. A feeling of fear that my baby was going to have Down syndrome. It came out of nowhere. I knew little to nothing about it, no one in my family had it, and I had never met or known anyone with Down syndrome. On September 13th, I get an email from my OB.…

“My husband, Tui, and I were just newly married. We had moved into a new house and were enjoying our bubble of newly married life. Fast forward a few months and I found myself taking a pregnancy test and seeing positive! We were happy! And nervous, as we still felt so young but very excited for this new chapter in our lives. Everything was going fine, we were excited to have a scan and be able to see our baby! And that we did. It was amazing, the baby we were looking at looked perfect. As perfect as a 12-week…

“When I was twenty-two, I found out I was expecting my second baby; another boy who we decided to name ‘Arbor.’ My first son, Syler, was only seven months old when I got pregnant again, but I was excited to have my two boys so close together. Syler was perfectly healthy and hit all of his milestones at just the right time, so I had every reason to think my second son would be exactly the same. He ended up being different in many ways, but it was the kind of different that changed my heart in a very radical…

“‘I wonder why they are taking so long’ I said to my husband as we waited in the hospital room for the nurse to bring our newborn baby girl back from her checkup. We were elated that everything went smoothly and were chatting with friends who were taking care of our two older children and had brought them to meet their new baby sister. Rebecca Rogers A moment after I had made this comment, the Dr. walked in and said he needed to speak with us and it would be best if our guests left the room. I thought it was…

“When I found myself unexpectedly widowed at 39, I couldn’t have imagined what my life would look like five years later. Looking back to that devastating time, I can see that every life experience had prepared me for widowhood and the important people that would come into my life afterwards. All I ever wanted was to be a wife and a mother, and I knew I wasn’t destined to live my life as a widowed mom. The faith that had been instilled in me by my parents and the small community we lived in provided the conditions I needed to navigate…

“This wasn’t the plan we had in mind. This wasn’t what our life was supposed to look like. That said, I could not be more grateful, as a far better plan was in the works for us. From spontaneous triplets to a significant heart defect to Down Syndrome, we have pushed our limits, tested our marriage and become better people. Many of our friends and loved ones have grown to know our family as one where anything can happen, the odds never seem to matter and the typical route is seldom followed. At times our life seems like a TV…

“Despite how beautiful the below black-and-white image of my daughter may be from a viewing standpoint, its meaning is much darker, and not so pretty. After her father left us when learning of her diagnosis at birth, I often wondered how the rest of the world would accept her Down syndrome diagnosis after her own flesh and blood CHOSE not to. What her father called her is one of my most painful memories of our journey. He called her a word I wish I could unhear…his exact words were, ‘Stephanie, our daughter is defective.’ His tone was as if he…

“We were done having children… and then we weren’t. We had three beautiful children. Our girls, Analyn and Raelyn were 6 and 5 years old. Our little man, Caleb, was almost 3. That seemed like a good crew to us. Then the fever returned, baby fever. My name is Jay. My wife’s name is Rayni. And this is a story of how God blessed us in the most unexpected way. Jodi Hyde Photography We were pregnant again! Obviously, we were over the moon with excitement. But everything about this pregnancy was different. Rayni was sick ALL of the time. She…

‘God does not give people with special needs to special people. I am not special.’ ‘You just do what you have to do.’ ‘You would do the same thing.’ ‘We are just a typical family.’ If you live in the world of disabilities you’ve probably uttered one of those phrases. How do I know? Because in my moments of humility while navigating I have said the same words. I’ve always felt like I’m reading the cliff notes to keep up with the ever-changing world of Down syndrome and therefore unable to deem myself ‘special.’ Well, I’m here to call us…

Los arqueólogos han descubierto evidencia del primer Homo sapiens de Europa en el refugio rocoso Grotte Mandarin en el sur de Francia. La considerable gama de evidencia encontrada en la cueva del refugio rocoso en Grotte Mandarin restablece la línea de tiempo de cuando el Homo sapiens estuvo en el área hace 54,000 años, aproximadamente 10,000 años antes de lo que se pensaba anteriormente.

Los arqueólogos en Inglaterra han descubierto un edificio antiguo monumental. Este no solo fue el lugar de enterramiento de una poderosa líder femenina del clan, sino que representa el sitio de producción o forja de plata ilegal más grande en la época de Gran Bretaña romana. La antigua cripta fue descubierta en 2005 en Grange Farm, en Gillingham, Kent, Inglaterra. Los arqueólogos que inspeccionaron el sitio antes de un proyecto de construcción de viviendas descubrieron dos puntas de lanza de hierro, que posteriormente iniciaron un proyecto de investigación de 15 años que resultó en la recuperación de 453 monedas romanas,…

Rapa Nui, el nombre original de la Isla de Pascua, es más famosa por sus gigantescas estatuas moai monolíticas. Ubicada a 3.512 km (2.182 millas) de la costa de Chile, Rapa Nui ha sufrido una historia de constante explotación y maltrato por parte de forasteros. Esto ha incluido el saqueo de sus restos ancestrales y objetos sagrados que ahora se pueden encontrar dispersos en museos de todo el mundo, en ciudades como Berlín, Bruselas, Londres, París, Oslo, Nueva York y Santiago. Pero ahora, la gente de Rapa Nui está celebrando el regreso de una de sus antiguas estatuas moai después…

Un escaneo topográfico de las minas de esmeraldas en el desierto oriental de Egipto ha revelado decenas de cámaras, túneles y espacios sagrados cerrados por el tiempo que datan de los períodos grecorromano y bizantino. Las minas de esmeraldas producen esmeraldas verdes, la mística variedad verde transparente de berilo, que era una de las antiguas piedras de dioses del mundo antiguo asociadas con la transferencia de poderes divinos. Si bien la piedra era muy valorada por la élite romana, era igualmente valiosa para los nómadas Blemmyes, según una nueva investigación. Los Blemmyes eran un pueblo del desierto oriental que existió…

Durante muchos años, en un oscuro corredor trasero de la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro en la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén, hubo una gran losa de piedra apoyada contra una pared. La losa de ocho pies por cinco pies (2,5 metros por 1,5 metros) estaba cubierta de grafitis: mensajes en muchos idiomas dejados por peregrinos cristianos que habían venido a visitar este lugar sagrado. Pero las renovaciones recientes en el Santo Sepulcro revelaron algo sorprendente acerca de esta losa de piedra aparentemente sin complicaciones. Cuando se le dio la vuelta para poder moverla, los espectadores se sorprendieron al descubrir que la…

Los científicos ahora saben que un asteroide masivo de Yucatán golpeó la tierra hace 66 millones de años al final del Período Cretácico, causando finalmente la extinción de la mayoría de las especies de dinosaurios. Fue el repentino cambio de clima que acompañó a esta desastrosa colisión astronómica lo que hizo que la tierra fuera inhabitable para estos reptiles de sangre fría, lo que llevó a la completa desaparición de criaturas que habían vagado por la tierra durante más de 100 millones de años. Pero hubo algunos dinosaurios que no encontraron su desaparición como resultado del catastrófico cambio climático posterior…
