My husband and I have been hemming and hawing over whether or not we should move, and if so where we should move to. We've been going back and forth about it for several months now, with him chomping at the bit to go and me...

Is a 6-year-old too young for a cell phone?

Lynn @owlandbutterfly (304) • United States 16 Feb 17
