The ultimate guide for parents who dream of having a little less chaos and a lot more time for the good things in life Written by mother of five, Nicole Avery, this book shows harried parents how, with just a bit of planning, family life can become easier to manage, less stressful, and decidedly more fun. "Dream on," you say? "I might as well try to herd cats as to get my kids to follow a lot of arbitrary rules!" And Nicole would agree, which is why Planning with Kids isn't like any other parenting guide out there. It was inspired by Nicole's blog of the same name, which, over the past three years, has garnered a huge audience of likeminded parents who have achieved nothing short of miraculous results following her advice. While other prescriptive guides offer mums and dads cook-cutter solutions to the challenges of raising kids, this handbook focuses on one simple, straightforward idea: by implementing a few simple strategies for how you do things, you'll make more time for you to be you and your kids to be kids. You'll find strategies for streamlining and enhancing everything from the routines of daily life, to family relationships, to budgeting and finances, playtime and much more!

One Life (Twice)2 is about the four new chances at life that I have got. Having been diagnosed with bipolar depression, psychosis, mild agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety disorder, this book talks about my journey as a fighter rather than a survivor. It also talks about certain self-help mechanisms, some insights about how people around us can support us, certain questions that people like us usually wonder about, the stigmas, dilemmas, superstitions, taboos that revolve around mental illness and the importance of seeking medical help. It becomes quite a challenge to ascertain that the time hasn’t ended for us, and this revelation occurred to me when I reflected on the saying, “Life is precious.” It was then that I realised that I have to save myself first and not end my life if I wanted to share my story and make people discern that they sure have company on the cruise. “Hope might lose a life, but life will never lose hope,” this is my mantra which helps me fight every second of life... ARK is the acronym of my name and I decipher it as, Acceptance, Reflection and being a Knight in the quest for learning life.

So many fathers today are adrift, uncertain how to connect with their daughters. There may be numerous reasons for this, but one would surely be that our culture offers little guidance to men on fatherhood, particularly when it comes to fathering daughters. In fact, one might ask, what does it really mean to “father” a daughter? We can see mothering all over television, advertising and film but what about fathering? Wanito Bernadin offers us a beacon; something fathers might find guidance and inspiration in. This book will help fathers and their daughters bond as each lesson and story is intended to stimulate discussion. Wanito speaks to his daughters on all kinds of subjects including the importance of reading, getting to know your own voice, breaking bad habits, recognizing abusive behaviour, managing stress or how to cope with having made a bad decision. He explains economics in a way children can understand. He teaches them about debt management and how to evaluate investment opportunities for a brighter financial future. And so much more. But the real treasure of this book is in the wisdom Wanito offers, such as in teaching them how failure is an essential part of growing and can lead to better things, how to move from being a victim to a victor, or how cultivating and protecting virtues like humility and kindness are integral to self respect. This is a love letter from a Godly father to his daughters.

“Melonhead and his friends inhabit a world . . . where inventiveness and camaraderie reign supreme.” —Kirkus Reviews For fans of Judy Blume's Fudge titles as well as Carl Hiaasen's Hoot. Anybody who is eleven needs an allowance! My parents don’t agree. Neither do my friend Sam’s parents. You would think they would because due to a snafu, Sam and I have to raise some money. So we started the We-Fix-It Company and requests started pouring in. Pruning (the gardening kind, not the gross-food kind), birdhouse making, shoe fixing, food delivering—we were hired! Then we received the request that changed everything…

The fatherless black family is a problem that grows to bigger proportions every year as generations of black children grow up without an adult male in their homes. As this dire pattern grows worse, what can men do who hope to break it, when there are so few models and so little guidance in their own homes and communities? Where can they learn to “become Dad?” When Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Pitts—who himself grew up with an abusive father whose absences came as a relief—interviewed dozens of men across the country, he found both discouragement and hope, as well as deep insights into his own roles as son and father. An unflinching investigation, both personal and journalistic, of black fatherhood in America, this is the best, most pivotal book on this profoundly important issue.
