Life As A Conscious Mom

When we lived in Brooklyn, NY, Caidin started pre-school and within the first month he brought home a letter from the school Nurse alerting me to the fact that someone in the lower school had head lice. They don’t tell you which class, so you have no way of knowing if your child is in…

This weekend I overheard my husband correct my son for taking the ‘biggest piece’ and it got me thinking about the way in which our children learn to understand giving and taking, which ultimately transcends to how our children understand money.

There are definitely way more than six things I’ve learned about being a parent, but these are some of the top things.
