Traditions European Women Do on Their Wedding Day

Posted in: ,

The handfasting ceremony that the Celts used is one such tradition. Back in Celtic times, this was a public declaration of two people who intended to marry. It was the Celtic way of announcing an engagement.

Let's Be Real - Backing A Baby Is One Great Parenting Tool!

Posted in: , ,

According to twitter user @GabbyDarko, he sighted this UK-based African father at Heathrow airport carrying his baby on his back with wrapper to board a flight to Ghana.

Many online reports are laughing at the father, and asking what happened to a baby stroller. I think it's cute and we should never be ashamed of our culture, though some can be baseless, some of them have very good reasons behind them, like this one.
