A “long” labor followed by an emergency C-section with her now 16 month old son Winston James has not deterred Billie Piper from wanting to have another child. Billie notes that her and her husband Laurence Fox have a combined amount of 7 siblings so they can understand what is in store for them when they have more children. Although she says that she does want more children she is practicing moderation as well.

Jon Furniss/WireImage A “long” labor ending in an emergency c-section hasn’t dissuaded Billie Piper from pursuing her dream of making son Winston James , 16 months, a big brother. Noting that she and husband Laurence Fox have seven siblings between them — “it’s just madness and hysteria all the time,” Billie says — the couple understand exactly what’s in store for them. At the same time, the 27-year-old Secret Diary of a Call Girl actress feels that moderation is key! “It’s nice coming from a big family , but I’m not sure if I could go for the four, certainly not the five.” Vowing that labor hasn’t left her feeling “frightened,” Billie muses, “I think you have selective memory when it comes to those things so I really hope I can have another child

Courtesy Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves There were no last-minute lists and baby name books lying around the hospital when Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves welcomed their daughter Vida in January — the couple had already chosen a moniker long before they discovered they were expecting. “It was the only name that we had for a girl even before [we had our son] Levi . We had many male names but we only had Vida,” Matthew tells Jay Leno of their choice, which means life in both Portuguese and Spanish

Fame At the age of 40, actress Minnie Driver is realistic about her odds of making son Henry Story , 18 months, a big brother. “Growing up, I thought I’d have at least five kids,” she confesses in a new interview with the Times Online . “I’m surprised I have only one; I really want more.” Although it was never her intention to wait until her late thirties to become a mom, Minnie says “it was never the right time, right place or right person.” “Too many women put it off until everything is in place, but there’s never a perfect time, is there?” Nonetheless, Minnie is quick to point out that she harbors no regrets about how life has unfolded

In her new book, We’ve Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication , Judith Warner, author of the New York Times bestseller Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety , explores the myth of the overmedicated child and writes that the rise of mental illness diagnoses in children is not the result of anxious parents seeking treatment for their “normal” kids. Instead, she reports, we are being led to this assumption by a misinformed media and a small group of anti-medication doctors. With compassion and thorough research, Warner portrays another world in which families and doctors are fighting to give struggling children their lives back

Kids love to create! I haven’t met a child who isn’t proud of something they drew or a song they learned to sing. MusiColor combines these two childhood favorites and will cause hours of fun and many, many smiles as a result! Each music disc comes as a blank canvas for kids to color. The disc and markers are a “paint by letter” concept which allow kids to easily know which color goes where. {Marker A colors all the A’s on the disc and so on.} Once the disc has been colored kids insert it onto the player and the colors magically turn into music! {Choose to hear each song played by a piano, violin or horn!} These are songs that most kids are familiar with and can sing right along with them. There are also additional markers and discs available for purchase outside of the main MusicColor Kit. That is always a bonus for me since there is nothing worse than having your child fall in love with a toy that can’t be replenished. Our family received our own MusiColor to try out. My five year old son couldn’t wait to get started. As a preschooler he is very proud of his polished coloring abilities and made sure to point out to me how well he had colored inside the lines on the first disc he worked on. It was also fun for him to use the “record player” by himself and he thought it was magic that his picture turned into a song. My daughter who is almost three LOVES to dance and has so much fun during the “dance parties” we have with our MusiColor . Although she is still working on her coloring skills she knows her colors and we used the markers to work on her letter recognition. My little Mozart also likes to color on the blank discs to make her own music! To find a musicolor for your kids visit them at Musicolor or deltacreative.com. Delta Creative is an award winning company with toys you and your kids will love! Enjoy!
