Last week’s recap:
- The summer chore chart is still a success around here
- Philip and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary and had a quick getaway to Palm Springs
- I’m 20 years late to the Harry Potter party. I need your opinion: Should I read the other books on paper or listen to the audio versions? Weigh in! Also, which house do you think the Sorting Hat would put me in? (Marriage tip: Don’t tell your husband would be a Slytherin!)
The Fast Food Rule:
- We learned about the “Fast Food Rule” from a parenting book, but we use it to strengthen our communication in marriage! We shared how it works in the hopes that it will help your marriage communication, too.
- The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp
- Use the ‘Fast-Food Rule’ to Get Through to Your Upset Kid (Dr. Karp’s blog)
- Parenthood, “I Hear You, I See You”
- Parks and Recreation, “Farmers Market”
Audiobooks and Read-Aloud Time:
- The Henry Huggins Audio Collection (some books narrated by Neil Patrick Harris!)
- Plus Plus building pieces – our kids’ favorite activity during read-aloud time
Questions for YOU:
- How’s your summer going? What are your summer hacks?
