Another book:

I know I've mentioned this book before, because I've read it at least 2 times in the physical form, but before I went on my trip to AZ I also purchased the audio book format...because I love it.  And being able to listen to it is delightful.  :)

So, I'd like to recommend this book to you AGAIN.  It's my favorite parenting book.  As I was listening to chapter 3 today, on my drive home from my first homeschool conference (don't even get me started on that topic...haha) I was even tearing up because some of the ideas are so TRUE and so beautiful and so freeing to hear, as a parent.

Good stuff.  Get it.  Read it.  Or listen to it.  :)

Also, if you DO read it, stick with it until at least chapter 4.  The first 3 chapters can be a bit dry if you are not already "there" mentally, but it's worth it to stick it out.
