Set in Cotswold Village England we meet the Bird Family. There are four children all with very different personalities. Meg is the oldest, followed by Bethan and then twin boys Rory and Rhys. Their dad Colin is a lanky young looking college professor. At the center of the novel is the mom Lorelei a bit of a hippy, fun loving stay at home mom. Lorelei “treated the children like precious gems and made every moment sparkle.”
Moving is stressful and overwhelming especially if you have been in your home for many years. Your “treasures” are important to you even they are not necessarily important to others. Seniors face many challenges such as making decisions as to the best place to move, what to bring, the best way to move possessions and how to organize a new home. So many decisions to be made, and sometimes we all need guidance to help make them. Ms Dellaquila, a professional organizer and senior move manager, has written a step by step guide for seniors and their families on how to downsize, organize and move with the least amount of stress.
As many of us know, asking your child to clean their room is not one of their favorite activities. Many kids love their collections and don’t seem to care about living in a mess. As parents we can get frustrated, and we are always looking for new and creative ways to explain why keeping a room tidy is important. The book, Cami Kangaroo Has Too Much Stuff by Stacy C. Bauer is a terrific way to introduce organizing skills in a fun and friendly way. Creatively illustrated by Rebecca Sinclair, children ages 4-8 will definitely relate to Cami and her dilemma.
