What are you doing this weekend? The boys and I are going to a friend’s house tonight to play Blank Slate, a board game they all rave about. I will report again! Also, check your voter registration status and if you haven’t found your voting site yet, find it here. I would appreciate any good links. Here are some fun links from around the web…

Advice from a teacher who is also a parent: “It’s so easy to get on the nagging train. If you can point out what good kids have done, they’re more likely to do it the next time. Start the jar. Every time a child did a little good, the dried noodles were put in the jar and we said, “Thank you…” That’s it. No penalties, no big deal, just gratitude for the simple things. Once the jar is full, he can choose to go out with his parents. It is also effective for parents, and even if they grit their teeth and say, “Thank God I didn’t have to hit my brother with a bat,” they are forced to see the positives. ”
Mom takes 15 minutes to heart every message from the past 5 days in the family group chat, hahaha.
Additionally, two comments from readers:
Here’s what Rebecca said about 10 reader comments about friendship: When I asked about their friendship, she talked about her friends and only said, “Besides my husband, she is the love of my life.” I thought it was so beautiful and fitting to use a typically romantic phrase to describe a best friend. ”
Karen T. says in I Like the Word Moist: CoJ’s comments section really energizes me. I am so grateful for this online community that feels like real life friends. ”
