This started over 20 years ago. I was raising two small boys on a tiny farm in the middle of nowhere. I thought about all the things that I needed to teach them. Some of the things they were too young to understand. Other things I didn’t know how to explain. What I decided to do was to write a book with all the advice I could think of. Then, as they were ready, they could go back to it as a reference when they needed it.
