Top 10 Tips For Good Parenting - Even though we need a license to do many things in life—everything from driving and operating a forklift to practicing medicine and fishing—there is no license required when it comes to parenting. And yet parenting today is far more difficult and very different than it was only a generation ago. Many well intentioned moms are still using outdated parenting skills and tools that simply do not work consistently.

Kids All Around Me
Darcey Blain resides in Rockford, Michigan with her son, Max, and various pets. Her mother instilled her with an intense love of words and reading. She began writing short stories and poems in elementary school, but later turned to the more practical administrative field as she also enjoyed good food and a roof over her head. She eventually found her way back to the writing field by accepting the position of managing editor for North Star Writers Group. Editing and clarifying the work of others is definitely her strong suit, but she couldn’t hide her desire to create and write any longer.

Parenting Insight? Like Everyone, You’ll Learn to Trust Me - By Darcey Blain - Always one for offering an alternative point of view, I’d like to introduce my new column, “Kids All Around Me”. I’m not your typical parent living the average family life. I’m actually a forty-something, single mom living in an apartment with my teenage son, three cats and a pet mouse (the last of three mice we adopted last summer – the other two are in plastic bags and cardboard box caskets in our freezer waiting to be buried in the spring). I’m not kidding. This is my world and, honestly, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m rarely bored and few would consider me dull. So, a parenting column? I know this stuff, really. You’ll learn to trust me. Everyone does. See, one’s understanding of parenting involves more than just the raising of one’s own children. I believe we are all part of larger families, circles of friends and communities that expose us to different kinds of situations and people. Few have a more eclectic experience in this regard than I do.

We Know How To Do Birthdays Right - By Darcey Blain - I’m exhausted. I just returned to my nice, quiet apartment after spending the afternoon at my niece’s seventh birthday party. Don’t get me wrong, I truly enjoy hanging out with five children between the ages of three and seven years for an afternoon. (Maybe enjoy isn’t exactly the right word, but it’s very close.) I’m just incredibly grateful when I can say good-bye, get my hugs and walk out the door with my 14-year-old and go home.
