Long Time No Blog

I realize that my last post was in Febrauary and it didn't end on an extremely positive note, so I am sure that everyone has stopped reading. My apologies for being gone for so long and for the last somewhat negative review of French food.

You will all be happy to know that I had a wonderful French culinary experience on our recent vacation to Provence. In fact, I have decided that I have found my favorite region in France so far! Provence is full of wonderful things that I love like: olive oil, delicious herbs, fields of lavender, and beautiful fabrics too! We had a wonderful relaxing family vacation just visiting little villages and towns in Provence, sampling the delicious cuisine, shopping, driving through the countryside, and visiting cities like Avignon, Aixe-En-Provence, and Nice. It was so wonderful to just be together- and to top it off, I didn't have to cook once!

I'll post some pictures soon, but tonight I am in need of some advice- in the realm of Christian parenting resources. I would like to know what some of your favorite reads are regarding parenting. I am specifically interested in toddler behavior management, discipline, and discipleship right now. Has anyone read Grace Based Parenting? There is not much of an English speaking Christian community here, so any recommendations that you have would be helpful. Also, do any of you have recommendations of Bible memory verse plans, books, CDs? Thanks in advance for your comments and/or emails on this subject.
