My 5-year-old son was up frequently last night with what we call "growing pains". I used to have them as a kid too, and I'm pretty sure most parents deal with this at some point or another. And, why does it only seem to happen at night??
Every year (twice a year for each child!) I face the same question...what in the heck should I buy my kids for Christmas and for their birthday this year?
WARNING: Do not read this post with your children! Have you heard of the Switch Witch? Well, let me tell you about this "good" Halloween witch and why she is going to be your best friend this Halloween. This is the easiest way to get rid of all that Halloween candy without tears or fights. Your children will want to give away their candy
I will be the first to admit that when my kids used to ask me if they could help in the kitchen I would cringe a little. It was just easier and faster to do it myself. I felt so guilty though. My kids were missing out on the joy and learning of an important life skill.
