by Julie Clark Robinson

Summer is gone, the school year is beginning, and before you know it you’ll be facing mid-terms.

Let’s get started:

1. Where to go? Your study space needs to be somewhere that’s away from the beaten path. You don’t want to overhear other people’s conversations or the sound of a television. Make sure that you’re not facing a window; instead, put your work surface against a wall. You’ll want plenty of work space for a computer, keyboard and textbooks.

by Kathy Forcey

When I heard the saying that kids don’t come with a handbook I never really understood what they meant. Then I had a baby of my own and I suddenly knew exactly what they meant. No two children are exactly the same, what works with one child won’t work with another.

As your kids grow up out of the baby stage into toddlers then the parenting issues can really start to take over your life. In comparison to dealing with a 2 year old throwing a tantrum walking up and down the living room for a couple of hours can seem like a easy time.
