Each month, thousands of parents sign up for my newsletter and when they do, I always ask them about their biggest struggle. Guess what...

That’s why I want to talk a little today about my experience building a home-based business. Many of us spend so many of our precious hours working, wouldn’t it be … [Read more...]
Happy Family Habit #11: Take a Time-In
Image Credit: © Alexandre Normand | 06.09.13 & 04.30.12 | CC by 2.0 Be honest... When was the last time you yelled at your kids?

#FridayFamilyFavs: Easter & Spring Finds
It's mid-March, which means Easter and spring are just around the corner! Here are some of our families favorite finds for both...

My Favorite Way to Teach My Kids to Give Back
The holiday season is always a time my friends and I start reflecting on ways we can get our kids involved in giving back.

I quickly became proficient in all sorts of authors and titles I'd never heard of before, and I discovered which ones I could always count on to be a big hit. There is nothing quite as thrilling as the kid who … [Read more...]
