    I would recommend Fangirl. Warning there is some language but it was definitely a binge read. Or there is a trilogy called the Madman's Daughter that I just finished and if you are okay with some fantasy it's a good one.

    Also, I want to know how you got caris to not suck her thumb. Macy sucks her finger. Her teeth are growing around it and I think her finger is starting to grow crooked :/

    Thanks for the book ideas! I've seen Fangirl floating around on different book lists. Ugh, the thumb/finger struggle is real. We did a sticker/reward chart (our first one ever), but she was also asking us to buy a thumb guard so I guess she was ready? I'll try to explain it more soon! Good luck :(

But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
