You won't want to miss out hearing from the authors that kept you on the edge of your seat laughing or in the kitchen cooking up a storm.
Getting together with other families doesn’t need to feel like a chore! Using these simple tips will have you hanging out with friends in no time.
On those days when everyone in the family seems to be getting on each other’s nerves, take a deep breath and pull out one of the books on this list to help restore the calm. 
Shabbat dinner doesn’t need to be complicated. Check out these easy-to-make recipes that will have even your pickiest eater saying “yum.”
Meals are a great time to encourage lively, question-filled discussion . Put together a question jar to help spur family conversations every time you and your kids sit down for dinner.
Does your child enjoy reading books, making videos, interviewing authors, and interacting with kids from across the US? If so, encourage your child to apply for the PJ Our Way National Design Team!
There are four great choices for PJ Our Way members this month. Don’t forget to make your selections by October 10 .
Got questions? New to the community or looking to make connections with other families? I can help!
