Raising Children to Weather the Storm
It may sound a little creepy, but parents should schedule dates with their kids. With Princess gearing up for kindergarten, it seems like everything has been a bit crazy.

For the past week it’s been all about the braids. Princess had fun sporting her Jamaican cornrows and beads. This week we wanted to change it up a bit and go back to something a bit more simple. So we settled on adding a cute accessory to her wash-and-go curls. I purchased an elastic stretchy…
