I
received a copy of QUICK TIPS FOR BUSY FAMILIES: SNEAKY STRATEGIES FOR RAISING
GREAT KIDS by Jay Payleitner from Bethany House in exchange for an honest
review. Now that I actually have a kid,
albeit a baby who focuses mainly on eating and sleeping, books like this hit
home more. Maybe it is better that I’m starting
off fresh with a baby. I can better
incorporate his tips into our daily lives.
The
144 tips in this book are easy to read and sometimes amusing. I found myself engulfed in Jay’s writing
style. All of the tips made me feel as
if I was sitting next to Jay having a cup of tea and a friendly conversation. I didn’t expect to read as much as I did in
one sitting. Be warned: this is an
addictive book!
The
one I liked best was to laminate stuff, like newspaper articles, so that they
will always be treasured. This made me
think of my maternal grandmother. She
kept all newspaper articles about herself, my grandfather, my mom, and my
uncle. After she passed away, we enjoyed
reading them, and tucked most of them into a keepsake box (we gave my uncle
his). I hope to do something similar
with my son.
I
HIGHLY recommend this book!
