How to Teach Your Daughter Not to BullyIt may be unthinkable that your sweet little girl could be a bully, but bullies have parents too; so it's not impossible. What can you do? First, get some good advice from Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out.
Wow, I'm an old school Real World fan and I was SO excited when you two met and ended up together! You two made the right choice. You guys seem perfect for each other and all four of your babies are beautiful!!!! Looks like Evita and John-Paul look more like Sean while Jack and Lucia look more like you! Also, funny how you have made a pattern in the gender order of your kids--girl, boy, girl, boy, girl! LOL I'm on baby number 3, and haven't decided if we will have more yet. But your family makes the idea of having more children look pretty grand!
I don't know if you'll remember me or not, but about 12 years ago we actually corresponded and I sent you an audio tape with songs. One of them was Paul McCartney's "Here Today" and I had hoped that it would cheer you up since that was during a tumultuous time in your life.
I just want to say that I can't tell you how happy I am that you are blessed with a wonderful husband and children. You're a beautiful person and it's good to see you blogging. Take care!

What a beautiful family you have. You make me want more children, I have two and my youngest is 4 and sometimes I think it is too late to "start over". But, maybe not... Happy New Year! Nicole Jones
Hi Rachel.. Aww!!! So cute! I love the layout of the card.. where did you get it.. if you don't mind me asking!! Well worth the wait!! Where will you fit a pic of the new one next year?? You better start planning now.. ha!
All of your children are beautiful. You and Sean are raising them so well! I can't believe that is Evita - I remember when you took her onstage at the Real World Reunion for the first time!
Cute family, Rachel! Also, congratulations on your pregnancy. I love the fishing photo of your son - we have many like that. Our family has a lake home in northern Wisconsin, so we are very familiar with the fishing and the snow!
