Your Literate Little Ones
Posted by BJ and Shalene in
With the first day of school either just behind us or looming quite near, we find our thoughts naturally turning toward academia. So to commemorate the start of this school year, consider stocking your little one's bookshelves with a collection of page-turners that might inspire a lifetime love of reading. And rather than breaking the bank to do it, we love the brilliant idea of an old-fashioned book exchange.To help get you started, we've included (below) a copy of a letter detailing instructions for the exchange. Simply copy and paste this into a word document and use it as your template, then follow the instructions detailed within the letter.--Date:Dear:Welcome to our book exchange! This is not a chain letter; it is...

The Invisible Mother
Posted by BJ and Shalene in
As moms with tiny tots underfoot (or little ones on the way), it's easy to get lost in the mundane, day-to-day tasks of motherhood. And so at times, we all need a little encouragement, a gentle reminder that the incredible, difficult, rewarding work of loving and raising our children is worth far more than we may ever realize. This was sent to us by a friend and Mom's Dish reader. We don't know where it originated nor can we testify to its authenticity, but the message is nevertheless worth repeating.The Invisible MotherAuthor unknownIt all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking,...
