7 on Sunday: Great Parenting Reads

How has your week been? It’s been a big one here – heading back to school after a nearly two month long Summer break (hello, morning routine!), our littlest munchkin heading off to 4 year old kindergarten (cue mama’s heart breaking), my work computer deciding it was time to have a little tantie and threatening to destroy almost three years of work and photos, and a delightful Summer head cold for me and the big girl to end the week. I tell you, I am praying for a quiet week this week!

7 on Sunday: Great Parenting Reads

So I thought I would collect together some of my favourite parenting reads from this week to share. These have all done well with the Childhood 101 Facebook community but I know FB doesn’t show everything to everyone, so you might well have missed them even if you hang out over there.  Here’s to a quiet moment to pour yourself a coffee (or a wine) and have a read, and a quiet week ahead for all of us. Have a great Sunday everyone!
