OK, we all have our bad habits. And we all have bad habits of other people that annoy us. But how many of you are annoyed by something even though you do the exact same thing? Here's an example of one that I find myself doing. I...

My 4 year old has just started to read and he's really ready to move on from his work book, but all the books I have are too advanced. What's a good book (or books) for a very new reader to try?

GuateMom What a great list! I remember a bunch of these from when I was younger. My son has a little bit to go before he's ready for the likes of Charlotte's Web, but I'm definitely going to check these out. Thanks!

This is something that has bee an issue for my husband and myself. I work at home and bring in all the money at this point. I'm pretty much chained to the computer. He looks after the kids and plays on the computer, as well as...

GuateMom His stories always check out so I don't think it's anything like that (my first thought, too!), maybe it's just a control thing? :S

GuateMom I live in Guatemala, so they have no public libraries here. :( Not with kids books anyway. I'll see if I can find the two that you recommended though!

I started the series and thought they were among the absolute BEST vampire books ever. Then about book 10, it all went down hill. :( From a kickass girl who had bizarre morals and killed anything that looked at her wrong, she went...

I started looking for a virtual assistant last night and settled on one in India. But I´m new to this and am wondering how other people use their virtual assistant? Do you have any tips or advice for me?

I have slept 2 hours tonight. it´s now 2:18 am and my kids have been waking up alternately since 11 pm, so I can´t sleep. This goes on every single frigging night and I am so tired, I can´t do anything anymore. I can´t think...

GuateMom I have two kids, ages 19 months and 2 months. They seem to have an agreement that one of them should always be awake. I do have a little help with the baby from my in-laws, but they won´t take the toddler because they say two kids are too many to handle. (I...

GuateMom I do work, but I work at home, so I don´t get a break from my kids. The thing is that my husband works mornings as a teacher and then at night as a musician. So he helps when he is here, but this has been a busy week for the band, so I have been dealing with...

GuateMom You are very right. My parents did give up a lot for me, especially my mom. However, my parents did do things a tad differently. First off, they were smart enough not to have two kids back to back, we were 2 or 3 years apart, which helps (mine are 17 months...

GuateMom I will try putting some rice cereal in the baby´s bottle. Something has to work. He wakes up more than my toddler, obviously. The older one gets up because he is wet. I don´t know exactly what to do about that. He has never slept well, thanks to being in the...

GuateMom Sorry, their ages are 19 months and 2 months. The older one doesn´t sleep anywhere, except in his own bed (not even in the car!) and he doesn´t nap either, most days! He does wake up wet, soaked through. I could try limiting his liquids before bed, but he is...

My son´s hair is getting rather scruffy and I´m too scared to cut it myself. But I´m also worried that he will flip out if I take him to a hair dresser! His hair is very fine and thin, but just long and I am terrified that if it...

GuateMom I don´t think any styling is necessary. I do want it to stay long in front to cover his forehead because it always has bruises and goosebumps! But in the back, he is getting a bit straggly. Plus, in the street, everyone says to me, "Oh, what a cute little girl...
