The Distance between Voice and Mechanics in Writing

The Distance between Voice and Mechanics in Writing By Julie Bogart Is it possible to nurture your child’s writing voice without worrying about the mechanics of writing? Will that foster a carelessness in children’s writing habits? Shouldn’t kids learn to care about how they spell, how they punctuate, how they construct their sentences and paragraphs?

One Season of Your Life

Hey Mama, just a reminder, right now you are in ONE season of your life. And like all seasons, it’s going to pass and you will enter another. Maybe the next one will be calmer, more peaceful, less chatter and whining all around you. It might be a little boring, even. As I type, Baby

Where to turn when overwhelmed

Hey Mama, it’s Monday. I heard you are drowning. You thought you were going to wake up and start a fresh new day, lots would get done, and you’d go to bed tonight content that so much was accomplished. It’s not looking that way, though, and the day is already underway and moving too fast.
