KETCHUM, Idaho (AP) — Residents of a small central Idaho town say they don't want a camp for kids with cancer in their neighborhood.

We see it on social media all the time in Twin Falls. Little kids on motorcycles. Riding ATV's is something a lot of Idahoans do. So it seems natural for some people to put their 5 year olds on an ATV.

Over 25 new businesses opened in Twin Falls in 2015, which begs the question what do we need in 2016? Most KEZJ listeners suggested new restaurants like: Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Joe's Crap Shack, etc. See everyone's response.  Everyone knows if you want an honest answer you need to ask a child...

I love music (it's part of my job) but this performance by these kids was beautiful!

Your kids probably have their Halloween costumes picked out. But most adults like to wait until 6:00pm the night before Halloween.

Nobody ever tells you just how hard being a parent really is. Sometime you wonder if parenting is fun at all. So how much of parenting is fun, and how much is hard work?

As parents we are responsible for teaching our children lots of things. But what are the most important things we need to teach them?

Summer is almost over, and it has been a busy few months for the local firefighters! Now they want your help as they do their annual Fill The Boot for MDA. On Friday August 7th from 10am to 6pm make sure you stop by (or drive by) the Addison/Locust intersection with your spare change and dollars.

It's times like these that I wish I had a parenting book. It's the end of summer break, my kids are tired from all their summer activities and I am running out of things to keep them busy.

Most parents don't mean to embarrass their kids but, it is guaranteed to happen at one point or another.

I will be the first to admit that before I had children I swore I wasn't going to bribe them. Then I started potty training and out came the candy. By the time my kids started school I was bribing them, or as I like to call it...rewarding them, with toys.

Helping a child at a park just seems like the right thing to do, right? Apparently, this isn't always the case. Last month, my family and I were at a park in Washington. A little boy approached me and asked me to lift him onto a swing.

Moms, we have good news! Kraft just announced that they will be making their macaroni and cheese healthier.

We all post pictures of our kids on Instagram or on Facebook. It's our way of keeping our out-of-town friends and family caught up on what our kids are doing. But, have you ever wondered if these pictures will embarrass your kids later on in life?

I get that as parents our job is to take care of our kids. We have to make sure they are safe and healthy all the time...but at what point (if any) do we need to release the reigns and stop keeping track of them.

When you were a kid, did your dad ever BLOW YOUR MIND with magic?

Just because a toys packaging says it's age appropriate, doesn't mean that it is.

Summer is almost over, and it has been a busy few months for the local firefighters! Now they want your help as they do their annual Fill The Boot for MDA. On Friday August 8th from 10am to 6pm make sure you stop by (or drive by) the Addison/Locust intersection with your spare change and dollars.

Some people just aren't getting it! If it is hot outside - it is much hotter in a parked car. In Texas a mom left her kids in the car so she could go get her hair done without being bothered by pesky little kids. Some random strangers saw the kids and since it is Texas and hot - they broke the windows to the car so they could rescue the kids!

An ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration has prompted Consumer Reports to urge parents not to use spray-on sunscreen on or near children.
