“Stand still my happy heart. Stand still.”

Today’s post is something that’s becoming nearer and dearer to me.

The simplicity, basic-ness yet necessity of teaching our children LIFE SKILLS!

Likewise, I can’t began to tell you how many *smart- highly intellegent in books* type of children I’ve met but don’t have common manners or common house sense.

Common life skills.

Today’s blog encouragement is not to forget to teach common
