I’ve been writing a weekly column for my newspaper for nearly four years now (wow!), and for the first time, I’ve decided to take a break. I’m going to extend that vacation to blogging and social media as well. Good-bye, Internet….for a week or two.

Meanwhile, if you’d like some reading material, here are some of my oldies but goodies.

• The Importance of Play
• Setting Our Homeschool Priorities for Two Boys, ages 5 & 2
• Supporting Your Child’s Interests Is a Good Thing
• There is no consensus on how to raise kids
• The Benefits of Storytelling

Have a wonderful two weeks! I’m still available by e-mail if you’d like to chat: shellipabis (at) gmail (dot) com
