First, there was ExBoyfriendJewelry.com - a website conceived over dinner by stepdaughter/stepmother team Megahn Perry and Marie Perry. Now they’ve dreamed up another potentially therapeutic topic – what to do with the emotionally charged mementos when a relationship ends?

The last thing we need is this stuff cluttering up our lives, reminding us of promises once made. Deciding it might be fun and cathartic to help people move those painful little reminders out of their lives, the website, StuffLeftBehind.com, is the latest brainchild of the Perry team. They’ve heard great stories from men and women about all kinds of stuff left behind: stuff they bought together, his stuff, her stuff, pet stuff, ugly sofa stuff, etc. You know, the kind of stuff, sentimental or otherwise, we’re left with when a relationship ends.

E.D. Hill is a busy woman (understatement!). She is a mother of eight (married a man with three children and gave birth to five) writes like she knows the answers – answers for parents with out of-control-children, that is. Her semi-hard-line stance may just be what parents are looking for. 

Instructional and conversational, I'm Not Your Friend, I'm Your Parent challenges parents to reclaim their roles, make the hard decisions, and put their children's character and well-being ahead of peer pressure and social status. With entertaining stories from her own family and those of others she has encountered in her profession as a journalist, E. D. tackles parental challenges we all face:

· Manners: Thank you and other common courtesies

· Discipline: Tantrums and time-outs

· Money: Chores and allowances

· Sportsmanship: Fair vs. foul

· Clothing: Fashion and dress codes

· Teenagers: Structure and consequences

· Driving, Dating, and other Death-Defying Feats: Contracts for use with teens

I'm Not Your Friend, I'm Your Parent might make a fine gift for your sister-in-law...you know, the mother of all those brats who terrorize your house at Christmas!

Here's a brain-twister to try on for size:  A big mountain climber and a little mountain climber stood on a cliff. The little mountain climber was the big mountain climber's son, but the big mountain climber wasn't the little mountain climber's father. How is this possible?

There are so many great things about Fall: A break from hot and sweaty weather, beautiful colors and apple festivals top the list. But arguably the best thing about fall is the pending chill in the air and the “snuggle” factor.
