Last week I instituted a new "incentive program" in our home, the purpose of which is to prevent my need of wandering whirling-dervish-like through the house looking for kids' socks--under furniture, next to the TV, in t…

The apple didn't fall far from the tree...

Hooray! My 10-year-old loves to read, has a library card, and knows how to use it! Amidst all the adolescent-directed chick lit and Nancy Drew spin-offs, she's also learned to find good stuff in the older-people sectio…
