Best Children’s Chapter Book Series

by TK January 28th, 2010| Elementary
Instilling the love of reading into a child is one of the greatest lifetime gifts any parent can give his child.  People who read are more engaging, make better money, and live fuller lives. (There are countless studies that back up those facts.)  But getting a child something that

Stop Your Baby from Being a Pacifier Junkie

by Joe Lawrence January 26th, 2010| Infants/Toddlers
"Wah, Wah, Wah!" are the sounds flooding the baby monitor as we jump from the bed at 1 am.  I rush into the bedroom to find her fast asleep but crying frantically.  I pick her up and rock her, check her diaper and nothing gives.  Finally, I give her a
