Charm City Moms Parents, have you had trouble getting through to your doctor during this swine flu season? Has your doc's office changed the way it communicates with email, web sites, phone messages? Message me at kate.shatzkin@baltsun.com.

Charm City Moms We at the Baltimore Sun are looking for parents to interview about how swine flu is affecting your Halloween plans. Is your child too sick to plan on trick or treating? Will you avoid events? Have the kids wear gloves? Pass out candy pieces one by one? Please send your contact info here or email the reporter, Joe Burris, at joseph.burris@baltsun.com.

Charm City Moms Boy, there's a lot of anger out there about kids in public places.

Lord knows that on this blog, we're familiar with how people can't stand to have noisy kids in public places like restaurants. Sometimes parents are at fault, but other times, noisy kids are just a fact of life. And there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with them.

Charm City Moms We're looking for pictures and stories of your children's favorite toys. Upload a photo here of that special toy -- or your child with it -- and a few sentences about why he/she loves it.

Security blankets come in all forms. Share photos of your child with the toy he or she can't live without -- or just a photo of the toy itself -- and include a funny story if you have one.
