Did you hear? I am having a big sale! Become a paying subscriber between now and June 13th to get a whopping 25% off! That’s $3.75 a month or $37.50 for the year.

Paying subscribers receive an email every Friday as well as the occasional longer essay that I wouldn’t want to share widely…

Go here to get this deal. Thank you for supporting my work!

This is the third in a three-week series about my kids. Please check out the updates on raising my nearly fourteen-year-old son and my nine-year-old daughter. Today, I’m turning my gaze to my youngest son, Mickey, who’s about to graduate from kindergarten.

Read on to hear all about that five-year-old parenting life. Subjects include fostering independence, reading, bathroom habits, affection, and wrestling. In this issue, I also divulge my summer childcare plans. Remember when I divested from the Summer Camp Industrial Complex? Read on to find out if I’m repeating The Mommy Experiment!

It’s all behind the paywall, honey, so snag that discount.
