Where's the Strangest Place Your Baby Has Slept?

babysugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:45:32 -0700

Babies are some of the most adaptable beings on the planet. With a lil practice and some love from mama, wee ones can follow most any routine (or lack thereof) that their mother sets up for them, even when it comes to sleeping. Parents on the go know that a crib is just a crib when it comes to getting some shut-eye. Sure tots may like their own bed best but if they are accustomed to the jet-setting life, chances are they will crash wherever a sheet and mattress can be found. The multi-talented actress, songwriter, singer and mother Minnie Driver stopped by Live with Regis and Kelly to chat about her newest flick, Motherhood. The mother of 13-month-old Henry chatted about the tot's ability to snooze on the road. Her travel has made hotel closets the norm for the wee one's resting spot.

Do You Like Your Driver's License Photo?

BellaSugar — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 06:00:54 -0700

Let's face it, driver's license photos can be less than perfection. I've had a mix of disastrous ones, and others that weren't too shabby. For instance, my debut snapshot featured a 16-year-old me turned sideways, complete with a puffy mouth full of braces. Apparently that unique pose was to act as a red flag to deter underage drinking and illegal license manipulation. Then, there was the time when the stars aligned, and my picture turned out just right. Too bad that's long-expired, eh? Check out my tips to ensure your picture doesn't stink, and then tell me, is your license photo a thumbs up or down?

101-Year-Old Gets Driver's License Until 2011. Too Old?

CitizenSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 10:00:12 -0700

Lillian Cox, 101, of Tallahassee, FL, won't have to trade in her 1984 sedan for a scooter just yet. The spunky dame has been driving since 1915 and has received the state's blessing to continue to do so for another four years. Her license just got renewed until 2011.

Cox said, "they're surprised that I'd get a driver's license at 101. But I have four more years." Drivers around town might look twice. "I'm sure I look (101 years old) but they don't let me know that," she said while driving around a neighborhood.

She's been invited to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for her feat - and hopes that she won't have to drive herself. She'd prefer a limo instead.

While Ms. Cox passed her driver's test, is the customary four-year extension a good idea past a certain age? Should additional testing be required for older drivers? After age 90, would a yearly review be a good idea - or should we trust people to know when to turn in the keys?

Would You Want to Learn How to Drive on Your Nintendo DS?

GeekSugar — Fri, 02 May 2008 11:01:20 -0700

I'm not one to underestimate the power of a Nintendo DS Lite, but to use one to teach you how to drive - you've got to be kidding me! DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD Productions are developing Drivers Ed Portable - a game for the DS. Don't worry, it won't do what I initially thought and freaked out about, which was taking students through driving steps while actually driving. But what this game will do is help prepare teens for the written portion of their driver’s license exam by featuring two separate teaching tools: testing and training.
The game will include exams for all 50 US states, 13 Canadian provinces and territories, as well as Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and is said to be available this Fall. I'm honestly not going to knock this until I try it, and with kids being such avid gamers these days, it may be the extra incentive they need to get down to driving business. Drivers Ed Portable plus real life one-on-one driving training, and I'm a huge fan. What about you?

Also, they pulled city statistics on accident frequency from Allstate Insurance. And then we used statewide numbers on speeding from the Governors Highway Safety Association, plus NHTSA state data on seatbelt use.

Minnie Driver Tells Henry a Story During Their Beach Stroll

PopSugarUK — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:00:00 -0800

Minnie Driver held baby Henry Story close as she enjoyed a stroll on the beach in Malibu yesterday. Having wrapped up filming on the aptly named Motherhood before she gave birth, Minnie has now set her sights on her next project: Betty Anne Waters. She'll play Hilary Swank's friend in the legal drama, which is based on the true story of a woman who spent ten years getting a law degree and working to prove the innocence of her brother, who was sentenced to life in prison for a murder-robbery. With such an appropriate middle name, Henry will no doubt be a captive audience should Minnie need to practice her lines.
