How to Make Book Blitz Month Fun for Everyone

Did you know that January is Book Blitz Month? I had no idea! January is usually my biggest reading month because I get new books for Christmas that I can’t wait to dig into. Book Blitz Month was created to inspire people to read more, something that I’m always on board with! As you know, I’m passionate about getting others to read. Literacy isn’t one of the most important skills we can teach our kids, it is THE most important. Without the ability to read, all the other skills are kind of hard to learn, don’t you agree? So, aside from grabbing a random book, how can we make Book Blitz month exciting and really inspire everyone in the family to dig in and read? Check out my tips! Click on the picture.

Free Advice, Support & Resources for Parents Coping With Divorce Issues Available in January

It’s no surprise that more divorces are filed in January, after the holiday season, than any other month. That’s why I selected January to be recognized as International Child-Centered Divorce Month each year. As founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network, our goal is clear. We want to educate parents about how to prevent negative consequences for children during and after separation or divorce. We also want to alert parents about the effects of divorce on children. That includes how to safeguard their wellbeing, co-parent more effectively and avoid serious mistakes during and long after a divorce. I’ve asked divorce attorneys, mediators, therapists, financial planners, coaches, parenting experts and other professionals around the world to participate. Each one is providing complimentary educational material for parents. This now includes ebooks, coaching services, video webinars and other valuable resources. We invite you to access these free gifts at a special website throughout January:
