Make Reading and Writing a Year-Round Activity
Yes, Summer is here with you and your children enjoying long Summer evenings! Your older children are free of homework; your smaller ones have been staying up later, and playing outside more. It seems like Fall, with schoolbooks and camps ending, is far away. But is it?
Lessons Learned While Becoming a Work/Life Expert
The first time someone described me as a work/life balance expert, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Me? I said and snorted. The woman who just raised her voice to her darling 6-year-old son for dawdling on his way to bed. The one whose husband got frustrated because she had spent so many nights talking to strangers via her computer — instead of spending time with him!
I don’t claim to have all of the answers, but I have learned a great deal from the hundreds of interviews.
