The Best Family and Parenting Advice from a Veteran Mom

This page contains all of my best posts about parenting and having fun as a family.

You'll find tips on making birthdays special (especially those December birthdays) as well as everything from Valentine's Day coupons to Easter basket scavenger hunts to audiobooks suggestions for car trips to 101 picture books every child should read before they grow up (and 101 chapter books every child should read before they grow up) to sleep tips to how to deal when you're angry with your kids to 75 ways to love your kids to 60 random acts of kindness for kids. There's also a lot about the grieving process in children, as my kids' beloved grandma died when they were young (just 2 and 6).

There is just so much here. It's the amalgam of all the parenting wisdom I've gleaned since my kids were babies, all packaged up in one neat place for you to enjoy.

Some of the posts are very old and lack photos, but I hope you'll check them out anyway. The information inside is still great.
