Happy May, ladies! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and that you are all getting lots of outside time with your kids before the weather shoots permanently into the ‘90’s. This month’s reading subject is getting your kids to sleep through the night! Not an easy feat for some of us, even for those parents with older children. If this is something you struggle with, check out the titles below. I’ve listed them in order of age!
