Christine Carter- Blog

www.GreaterGoodParents.org

Dr. Christine Carter is a sociologist and happiness expert at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and since she’s reading all the research related to raising happy children anyway, she thought she might as well make it useable to parents through her blog and book Raising Happiness.

Dr. Carter’s intention is to bring a scientific framing (what does the research actually say?) to our opinion-based parenting debates and advice.  As a parent herself, Dr. Carter knows that sorting fact from fiction can be confusing when it comes to parenting: Raising Happiness is very much about her own struggles mothering her two school-aged daughters.  Her parent-to-parent tone and humorous, tell-all approach make scientific research accessible and fun.

BONUS GIFT!
Spring Fling participants will receive a 10% savings off of Christine’s Raising Happiness Class

Gigi Newcomb - Blog

www.ABetterMeDayByDay.com

Woman. Wife. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend….I wear these among many other hats and I am trying to balance them all! In order to achieve this and some other goals, I have decided to aim to become a better woman/wife/mother every day! As a family we deal with being a military (NAVY) family, blending cultures (DH is White-American and I’m Hispanic American), homeschooling our daughters, and me working on my BA (Psychology- child/adolescent, Family/Marriage)…as well as all the “normal” challenges all other families face today. We choose to parent as positively as possible. One of our main goals is to give our kids the best possible childhood we can give them while raising them to be the best people THEY can be. We want our kids to grow up and automatically have a smile on their face when looking back on these years!
