use your words

i am always looking for ways to eliminate the feeling that my parenting has become stagnant and not effective. a bit ago i read a guest post at simple mom which reminded me to be a better listener and to choose my words more carefully. how fitting when all i say all day every day is "use your words."

don’t say anything to a child that you wouldn’t say to a grown-up you adored. - Danielle Laporte from carrie and danielle
simple reminders of things you can do to be a better parent are so inspiring to me. sometimes the most obvious solutions get bogged down in the details of life, right?




make sure you check out simple mom before november 12th. she is giving away an amazing epson artisan 800 printer that i have been drooling over.
