Adoption and Parenting Reads of the Week
How did your holiday week go? Hopefully you were able to find some extra time to relax and soak up summer. And now here we are with two more days to do it again!
We leave you with our favorite reads of the week. Pieces spanning all sorts of topics, including: free summer activities for kids, a need for paternal care networks, a way to make your child feel constantly loved, and an exploration of this important question: is balance crap?
