I love your web site. Your mom told me to take a look at it. I am going to send it to my married grandchildren. I want to compliment you Brad for turning out to be such a neat person, a loving father, and a wonderful son to your mother. DeVaughn and I have wonderful memories of you and your family. Keep up the good work. Colleen

I think spending special time at bedtime is one of the best ways to to end the day. My kids can tell if I am just running them off to bed. But if I spend some time with them before bedtime, everything goes more smoothly.

Does story time in the evening before bed count for 10 min / day?
