- reduce the amount of toys kids have
- reduce the amount of clothes & food choices for kids
- reduce television time & it's marketing efforts on children towards consumerism
- talk less
- before you say something, ask yourself these three questions: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
- kids don't need all these so called "enrichment" activities
- kids don't need to be busy doing a sport or outside activity at all times. every season involved in something should be followed by a season off
There is so much more I could go on and on about. Bottom line - read this book. And then let's sit down and have coffee to chat about it. Maybe you won't agree with it all. Maybe you will. Maybe no one is even reading our blog anymore. If you are and want to chat, let me know. I enjoy adult interactions :)

Kay. I'll read that next. You read CLEANING HOUSE by Wyma and we'll do the coffee thing.
Gus wanted to sleep with his big wheel last night.
Just requested it from the library! Looking forward to coffee :)
I still read your blog...now books on the other hand, not sure if I have time for that! I will put it on my growing list of books I want to read! Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for still reading the blog, Kendra!
I still read :) Sounds like a great book! Simplifying with triplets is always a never ending battle!
I still read it! Lisa, Jill, and I were remembering the camp days the other day. I'm praying for you as well with the whole school thing.
