Something For Myself

I heard about the University for Parents event long before we started in to harvest. As a parent, I really wanted to attend. You know, kind of like a continuing education course for my career. The line up of speakers was phenomenal, the real professionals in child rearing.
The event approached quickly, just as things were falling apart with harvest. I was tempted to pass up the opportunity to attend, it would just be easier. As a Mom it's easy to let everything else take precedence in your life. But then I made some arrangements and sacrifices and went.
I'm sure glad that I did. I came home with a new perspective and mission. Raising my children should be more fun.
(If you're not familiar with Love and Logic, you need to be. They Eyres have a great website with all sorts of help too. Just thought I'd pass along the word.)

I didn't know you were big on love and logic. I teach the parenting class in the school district and also the love and logic in the classroom to teachers. Jim Fay is coming to our district in November, you should come.
