Three Macaroni KID publishers have been working part-time as Papa Pals for the last few months. What's a Papa Pal, you ask? Put simply, a Papa Pal works part-time, usually, less than 10 hours a week on a flexible schedule helping people in their local community who need assistance with small tasks or are in need of companionship.

Here is what Kara from Macaroni Kid - Fayetteville has to say about her experience as a Papa Pal.

"As a Papa Pal, there is no limit to the number of visits you can complete or the amount you can earn. I received payment for my visit and gas mileage reimbursement within a couple of days of my visit. Helping others makes me feel great and the flexibility of Papa works so well with my busy schedule. To me, it's the ideal part-time job for a parent."

Did you know window coverings with cords has been identified as one of the top hidden hazards in the home?

That's because of the strangulation risk from corded window coverings to infants and young children. Injuries may range from fatal, to bruising or scars around the neck, to permanent brain damage.

The Window Covering Safety Council, a group dedicated to educating parents and caregivers about the potential strangulation risks of window blind and shade cords, offers suggestions to avoid this danger in your home.

We asked parents for examples of some of the grossest things that have come from the classroom.

#1 was lice - thankfully there is Vamousse Treatment Mousse to the rescue! Pesticide-free, Vamousse attacks all stages of head lice — from eggs to lice — to end the lice life cycle. Plus, it takes just one 15-minute treatment and is even effective against ... Super Lice.

Yep, Super Lice is really a thing, we're sorry to say.
