When is the last time you talked to a parent who said they were not busy?
I am always looking for good ideas and hacks for my family when I can. So when I could get a chance to review this book, I did. That is because we all need fresh ideas out of the gate to spice up things so we can get refreshed ourselves!
There are 144 ideas! I don't care how much you think you might know, you can take away something from this book that you can try and succeed at!
In fact you can make it a half year, so six months, challenge to try to new things if you really wanted to. These are the first 50, but I can guarantee you that the other (almost 100) are just as awesome and some of my faves are the back part of the book.
It is broken into small tid-bits so the reading is SUPER easy to be able to accomplish. It is like, "Hey, I need an idea for road trip games" and viola! You can just go to the page and within a few minutes or less be able to walk away with other ideas.
Not only is it a fast read but it is well written and you can tell they have a lot of experience- after all, they have raised 5 of their own kids and fostered more than 10. They have my heart of the fostering- not an easy feat. So when they give tid bits of advise, I am going to trust that they will work or get close to it.
COME ENTER TO WIN A SUPER COOL GIVEAWAY!
