My daughter has her very first loose tooth. Aside from being heartbroken at yet another sign of her growing up, I can't for the life of me figure out what the tooth fairy should leave her when the tooth finally falls out! When I...

What is the best surprise you have ever received?

youngsweetheart @youngsweetheart (772) • United States 10 Jan 09

I jumped on the Twilight bandwagon pretty late, I'll admit - just a couple of months before the film hit theaters. By the time I saw the movie I had finished the complete series, which I loved, even if it was a bit syrupy and...

No one is surprised by this; he's been sick for a while. It's my step-dad's father, and we weren't close, so I'm not too upset, except for one thing. Today is my daughter's birthday. She wasn't close to her great grandpa either,...
