Redbook Magazine recently ran an interview with Kim Raver, the actress from Lipstick Jungle, called, "What Every New Mom Must Know." Here's what she had to say about skipping in #7 on her list....

"This morning, Luke and I were running out the door to his school, and he was in his corduroy jeans and his little boots and his corduroy jacket with his cool little hat, and he started skipping. And so I started skipping down the street with him singing, 'Skip, skip, skip to my Lou' and I was like, Oh, my God, and I had this flash of the streets of New York and the taxis and the smell of winter and snow, and it reminded me of my childhood, which was great."

Yeah! Skip on Luke and Kim.... It's such a gift when parents skip with their kids...and show them that adult life can be fun, happy, and free!
