Natasha also chose this post. "Mari's posts always speak to me. As I get older, I realize how demoralizing labels are, and how they single out a certain person based on their circumstance. I identify myself as a single mom, only because that's what I've been called - that's how people classify me. But I'm so much more than that, and Mari hits on the points that tick me off. Great post, Mari!"

Dawn chose Teaching Your Child to Have Self Esteem from The Happy Home Life. "I think it is important as a parent to praise your child for everything they do/try to do whether they achieve it or not. My son had a speech problem which made him awfully shy, and by encouraging and praising him, not only has his speech improved but his confidence has come out in leaps and bounds."

Kelly chose 8 Benefits of Volunteering at Your Child’s School from A Life in Balance. "I am a big believer in giving back to the community through volunteering and doing this at your children's school is so rewarding. My son is only two and not yet attending school however when my step daughter was living with me, I volunteered at her school library, at school events like discos, athletics days and movie nights. I agree with Barb that volunteering is a great way to get to know the school community, and that children appreciate it. Volunteering is also so much fun!"

A back to school list for high schoolers is not only a novel idea, but useful. We should continue to strive to keep our children excited about an upcoming school year their entire academic career."
Elaine chose Glittered Fall Leaves DIY from Typically Simple. "These are so easy and pretty. I am SO ready for Autumn."
Elaine chose Fall Burlap Wreath {Tutorial} from Inspiration for Moms. "Cute and easy way to decorate for Autumn."
