This book is a collection of articles that I wrote for , a remarkable website that offers fun, helpful and practical advice for families. Few people will choose to read this book cover-to-cover. Instead, most will skim the book, reading thoughtfully only those articles that apply to their own circumstances and skipping over others entirely. You may skip the article about putting eight children through college if you have only one, but may read with interest the article about planning a service vacation with your family. .
