1. Realize that you don’t have to
invite the whole world to an expensive gathering. One of my favorite parties
growing up consisted of about five friends and an ice cream parlor. Every few
years you could save up for something special and a little more costly like a
moonwalk in the backyard or taking five friends to Paradise Park

Birthday Party Ridiculousness
It
seems like kids’ birthday parties are getting out of hand these days, with
parents trying to top each other for some non-existent “Most Elaborate Party”
award! It can be difficult – if not impossible – to keep up with the intricate,
expensive and often highly structured parties that are thrown by our child’s
friends and classmates. Whether your child is in school, is homeschooled or is not
yet even in preschool, the politics of birthday parties affect everyone. Save
your sanity and stay out of the Poor House instead by considering some of the
options and tips below.

My Proofreading Love Affair With Fiverr.com
I have a new addiction, and it is making money doing something I love.
I also make money when you check out these teaser posts (which may annoy you, Mom and Husband, but the point is to get you interested and get you to click over to where I write more cool stuff). So if you love me, check it out! [What? You thought I only lived at The Kerrie Show? Nope. I am all over the place.]
And if you want to know more about my proofreading and writing gigs, in case you are a Grammar Nazi like me/myself, head to The Published Parent!

Homeschooling 101
Although it’s becoming quite a popular education choice, the
decision to homeschool can lead to some overwhelming questions like:
How do you
get started? What does a typical day look like as you entertain and educate your
kids all day long? How do you keep toddlers from emptying the cabinets on a
daily basis while you teach your older kids? What about socialization?
