If You Want Your Kids To Listen, Stop Repeating Yourself

"Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you." "I might as well be talking to a brick wall!" "In one ear and out the other."

Children’s Book Treasuries That Make Great Gifts

Children’s Book Treasuries That Make Great Gifts

We use the four gift rule for Christmas: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. I take the 'something to read' gift very seriously! Our home library grows all year long, so I want our Christmas gift books to be extra special. Children's book treasuries and collections make wonderful gifts for Christmas or … [Read more...]
