Creative parenting ideas?? I’m all ears! Anyone that has been a parent knows that parenting isn’t easy. Every child is born with their own personality and has their own unique needs. When people say to me, as a mother of 7, “Oh, after 3 or 4 kids, it’s all the same right?!” I’m like, “a…

Ok let’s face it, going to the dentist with kids is not exactly what people enjoy doing with their free-time.

That is why starting off right, especially for your children, is so important! You’re creating habits & impressions that will last a life-time, so make them great ones.
Of course every child is different, but here are some things that have worked for lots of kids I know, and will hopefully work for you your kids too!
