A peek inside the new must-have book for tween boys

by Karen Lesh Leave a Comment on A peek inside the new must-have book for tween boys

Books for boys can be hard to choose.  In my house of boys, I have good readers skill-wise, but they don’t actually enjoy reading or choose it as an activity.  I’m always looking for books that will catch their attention and let them think positively about reading — like an adventure awaiting them when they …

Patience. I’ll be right there.

by Karen Lesh 4 Comments on Patience. I’ll be right there.

Sometimes, parenting three kids is so easy  (Wait, what?  Remind me that I said that).  Other days, I get dizzy from my head turning this way and that way answering “What?” “Yes!” “Hold on a second!” “Don’t do that.” “In a minute.” “I said IN A MINUTE.”  After yelling “I have only two eyes, but …

Cupcakes & Kindness: 5 easy steps to spread joy (and frosting!)

by Karen Lesh 4 Comments on Cupcakes & Kindness: 5 easy steps to spread joy (and frosting!)

Spread joy and kindness — it is key to how I’m wired, and something I very much want to instill in my boys as a natural, wonderful, automatic thing to do.  We do kindness projects whenever we can, try to model kind/good behavior, and choose charities to donate to in order to spread joy in …

12 Simple Acts of Kindness

by Karen Lesh 6 Comments on 12 Simple Acts of Kindness

A little kindness goes a long way, I think.  I try to model it whenever I can — not just consciously, but because it’s how I’m wired to act — buying a hot cup of chicken soup for a homeless man, supporting a local family in a time of need, donating to charities, smiling at …

An oldie but goodie. I made up this song when the An oldie but goodie.
I made up this song when the boys were teeny tiny and I sang it to them a lot.  This was the first video I ever posted on Instagram —  I think in 2016!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
