Tweens Love Hair

When my girls were little I could barely get a brush through their hair without shrieks and yells. Now that the girls are older, both are completely consumed with their hair. The style. The hair products. The cut. And did I mention the hair products? I don’t recall the moment when both girls took...

Reading Tips for Summer Reading

Although I seem to spend more time reading a screen than I do a book, reading for me is a given. How would I function if I could not read? In our family, reading happens everywhere…except the bathroom. I am not a book-in-the-bathroom person. Ewww. We have bookcases in every room except the bathroom....
