Hi everyone! I'm finally back!

I say that, because I was gone for a short vacation that turned out to be a bit longer than anticipated. My husband and I naively planned a visit with our family in Texas for January. We assumed we would leave the cold behind in Pennsylvania and enjoy the Texas warm weather. Who'd have thought it would be warmer in Pennsylvania than in Texas. We certainly didn't. Nor did we expect to get iced in for extra days.

I'm not complaining about having more time with my granddaughter, but I certainly had a lot to catch up on when I returned home. One of those things was my articles for Bella Online.

I apologize for the lapse in posting articles, and have two related articles for you today to try and make up for it.

Here's the latest article from the Relationships site at BellaOnline.com.

No Guidebook for Raising Kids
While on vacation Eli, our son-in-law, and I sat talking about raising kids. He made a comment that struck me funny. He said there is no guidebook for raising kids.

Tips for Parents from a Grandparent
Although in my previous article I said every child is different and what works for one may not work for another, I am going to offer some tips anyway. Tips I believe may be a help to parents as they struggle to raise their children without a set of written instructions.
