So you’re warming up to the idea (maybe at your child’s pleading) of giving your child an allowance That’s great

Have you ever tried telling your child they had to give away one of their favorite toys If your child is like most, chances are, it didn’t go over very well

If you’re like me, you probably just smile when someone says they have Spring Fever, which is known mostly as a severe yearning for warmer weather and sunshine It hits extra hard after an especially long, cold and dreary winter

I have the distinct privilege of being Mom to both a son and a daughter There’s no question that I love my children equally but often it’s much easier to connect with my daughter, due to the obvious fact that we’re both girls

I’m really good at harping And I’m not talking about the musical instrument

According to Holiday Insightscom, March 22 has been set aside as National Goof-Off Day

If your child watches television, goes to the grocery store in October, or visits the movie theater, he or she is a prime candidate for developing fear Even family friendly television channels can be infested with cartoon monsters, witches, ghosts and bad guys

Finally, after months of being cooped up indoors, Spring is on the horizon Fresh air, sunshine, warmer temperatures…the chance for my kids to run and play outside to release the pent-up energy they’ve been storing up all winter

Whether you realize it or not, you alone are the greatest factor in determining what type of man your daughter ends up marrying Quite likely, she will choose someone just like you

Have you ever gone to a restaurant to relax after a hard day’s work only to have a child at the next table screaming, crying, or throwing temper tantrums throughout your entire meal It’s not easy, if not impossible, to enjoy yourself, let alone carry on a nice conversation with whomever you’re dining with while listening to a screaming child

A couple years ago, my daughter told me I wasn’t a “fun mom” Granted, the comment came when I was busy with something and it wasn’t possible for me to drop what I was doing and play with her
