Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {March 6, 2015 edition}
A few weeks ago, we started a little experiment with this weekly family links post. We tried adding a new section called “From the Twitter Timeline” where we linked to posts that were not necessarily family related, but still helpful.
This week, we have decided to remove that extra section, with the desire of focusing again on family related posts. That said, we are still wanting to give you lots of family links for your weekend reading, so we are going to tweak things yet again.
Our plan for the next few weeks is to “supersize” our list of links, and to give you a very short description of each one, to help you decide which you want to read. Of course, we hope you’ll read all of them, but we hope to have at least 7 posts in each week’s list, so adding a short description should help you if you want to just read a few.
With that said, let’s get to this week’s family links.
This Week’s Finds

How to Respond to Hurtful Words in Front of the Kids {Mark Merrill}. Sometimes, a spouse is going to say something hurtful and the children are right there. How should you respond? It’s sad this post is needed, but it is needed.
