It’s almost summer, let’s hope the weather is agreeable! I have had lots of fun browsing through the 107 fabulous ideas everyone shared last week with Mom’s Library! There’s a little bit of everything in the mix, which is great! This week I am featuring some things we should keep in mind as parents both to raise mindful children, and also what to do if you encounter a bump in the road.

To see all of the other great ideas, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I featured pirates, parrots and spies.
