When coming to the decision to add a blog to my website, I was encouraged by many but inspired by a good friend of mine. If you have been on my website  you have seen the link to www.thegratefulmama.com
Karen's latest post, dated May 16th,  is about parenting and specifically  "Encouragement versus Praise.”

While most of us are doing our best to provide loving and supportive foundations for our children it is very interesting to really understand the difference between encouragement and praise and how different the messages are received to our impressionable babes.

Again, just another little gem from Karen's blog that makes me a better mama. I hope you check it out.
