Two New Posts On MommaHelpers
I love writing about parenting, though I don’t do it very often, but the results of my last burst of inspiration have just been published on MommaHelpers. The first is an article on parenting style, called What Kind Of Parent Are You? See if you recognize yourself.
The second is related to a popular movie and show, Mamma Mia, illustrating a parenting lesson that you can gain from watching the movie. It’s called a parenting lesson from Mamma Mia.
