Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills is giving kids and adults a sneak peek into the life of a sea creature with no brain and no heart — jellyfish.

Arizona parents may soon no longer have to worry about a child coming home from a carnival with a live goldfish in a bag.

Toys come with a lot of warnings: Not suitable for children under 3 years; Small parts may present choking hazards; Use under adult supervision. Labels on electronic toys list the voltage while others confirm non-toxic materials. If a toy proves to be harmful, it is quickly recalled as toy manufacturers make safety a priority.

It’s the holiday season and time for the obligatory “pep talk” to get you through without a lot of weight gain.

Frankly, we all know pie is a lot of calories, getting drunk usually leads to regret, and no one “deserves” cheese balls on tooth picks.

Like a lot of kids, Jennifer White grew up with pets.

Four local cats took the ride of their life when they hopped on a single-engine plane and were transported to a cat’s paradise in California.
