    I’ve given myself time outs before and the kids think it’s the strangest thing. Sometimes it better for all of us.

    Hi Laura! I was just reading a great book (Discipline without Distress) and they talk a lot about a mommy time out. It’s funny to see you blogging about it. I hope all is well with you!
