It’s Monday again. Time for a recap of a few fabulous ideas from around the web. All of these sites were featured on my Facebook fan page in the last two weeks so, if you haven’t had a chance, you should check them out. If you liked them as much as I did, take a [...]

Help Kids Conquer Fears with a Fear Factor Challenge

Are your kids scared to do this? How about riding down a huge water slide in this? Does the idea of popping one of these into their mouth make their nose wrinkle in disgust? If so, I can relate.  My kids were scared of all of those things and more.  So last summer we began a new tradition [...]

A Sweet (and simple) Teacher Appreciation Gift

The Best Book for Teaching Girls About… well, Girl Stuff

Having six brilliant older sisters comes in very handy sometimes.  It doesn’t seem to matter what struggle I’m up against at the moment, chances are at least one of them has been through it before and has some hard-earned know-how to share.  A few years ago when my daughter came home from first grade with [...]
