    If you’re looking for an answer to the question of what is common sense parenting, then you’re in the right place. Common sense parenting doesn’t focus on specific rules or styles. It’s you who is creating it. It’s making you stop, and think without overthinking. Common sense parenting helps you to trust yourself and reconnect […]

    The Power Of Bedtime Stories with Brent Crandal – Opposititis: A Ridiculous Family Love Story

    I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Brent about his new book Opposititis: A Ridiculous Family Love Story, the importance and power of bedtime stories, creating fun bedtimes, not calling children ‘shy’, blended family and even what is like to swim in PJ’s.
