what do YOU do at the end of the day when your kids (and YOU!) start to have a melt-down? do you put on soft music? tell us how you "try" to beat this "oh-can-be-so-crazy time"! Karen (Moments Publishing)
when our children were very small, 5:00 pm was sometimes a very hard time of the day ... tired little children (AND tired Mom!)... we often found that dimming the lights, lighting a few candles and using softer, whisper-like voices seemed to help us all make it the next couple hours ... this little "ritual" often became a favorite part of a busy day ...
