Strollerderby can’t resist making a shout out to one of our new bloggers, John Cave Osborne, whom we introduced earlier today. Though he became a father of four in just thirteen months, John managed to maintain his sense of self and his sense of humor. You’ll see what we mean when you watch the following hysterical video, which has gotten quite a bit of attention. None other than Ashton Kutcher tweeted to his upteen followers along with a note to John saying he was doing an excellent job on the dad front. More recently, the video has put him in the running for the title of “World’s Greatest Dad” via a contest held by e-zine Man of the House. If John wins, he’ll donate the entire $2,000 prize to his favorite charity, ChildHelp, a leading national nonprofit that benefits the victims of child abuse and neglect.

See what we mean?

If you’d like to help John raise a nice chunk of change for an incredible cause, share this post with everyone you know and click on this link to vote for him! You can vote one time per day through October 22.

Take a look at their interview, and then let’s figure out what these parents are doing right!  (Oh, and did I mention these kids are adopted foster children???)  These people are saints: Continue reading »

In the past decades, the number of twin births has skyrocketed. A new study shows that triplet births — including those conceived without the help of reproductive technology — are also on the rise.
