Ahh, but discipline is a large part of our lifestyle--! Self-discipline and the guidance that's given to form self-discipline. Punishment is not the same as discipline at all. I have known too many adults

We love the Natural Gardener! Did you guys find the giant walking labyrinth on the garden's grounds? It took us several visits to really see the whole thing. We go there semi-often and sit on the swings,
