 JABBERS, You Truly Change Lives
From Anonymous I am having a hard time typing this through the tears of thankfulness streaming down my face. Earlier this week, I asked for recommendations for a therapist after learning that my husband was having an affair. I am overcome with the wonderful responses I received from fellow JABBERS. You all have been so supportive with names of professionals, titles of books that helped you, and stories of your own struggles. I felt so alone, but now I know I am not. Boo, Emilie and the rest of the team - you provide a stellar service! Thank you one and all.

Private Schooling That's a Lot Like Homeschooling
From Christina Nobbe: REPLY If your child has been stressed out, getting bad grades, or struggling in school this year, perhaps it's time for an effective alternative.

As a remote classroom for a private, accredited school, we strive to not only meet but exceed Florida Sunshine Standards. Now accepting registration for summer camp and also the 2013-2014 school year. Call me now at 305.321.0031 or click HERE - classes are small and fill up fast!* |
Teen Scene
My son turns 13 in May. I'd like to celebrate the milestone but I am not sure what to do. We did a weekend cruise when he turned 10 and have had all sorts of themed traditional birthdays before that, but I want to do something special. I find that 13 is a unique age because they are too old for some things, too young for others and roll their eyes at everything in between! Do you have any ideas? I'd love to hear them! |
