Are We Having Fun Yet?

I just read "Are We Having Fun Yet? The 16 secrets of Happy Parenting" by Kay Willis and Maryann Bucknum Brinley.

The 16 secrets are so simple yet usually overlooked.

Happy Parents...

1. enjoy parenting, they don't endure it.
2. Refuel, Restore, Renew
3. Borrow from Big Business
4. Know that Attitude is Almost Everything
5. Create a Cozy Atmosphere
6. Know that Fathers are MVPs.
7. Listen, Listen, Listen
8. Know When to Say Yes
9. Aren't Perfect
10. Know That Labels Can Stunt Growth
11. Know That Guilt Is a Waste of Time
12. Know that Resentment Poisons a Family
13. Never Stop Growing
14. Let Their Children Get the Best of Them
15. Romance
16. Make Happy Memories.

I recommend this book to every mother (or soon to be mother). It's awesome!
