About the Author
Award winning authors and experienced media guests, Rondi Hillstrom Davis and Janell Sewall Oakes believe that parents today need to shift the focus of the time they spend with their children. With strong connections to their families and local communities, both women are the living spirit of what back-to-basics parenting is all about.
"We can all slow down and see the world through a child's eye. Stop and remember for a second what was important from your own childhood. Was it an outing or vacation? Baking cookies with your grandmother? Fulfillment is in the journey, more so than the destination. We've forgotten how simple things can change us."
Both authors want to help families discover what they can do together, strengthen family bonds, develop happier, more creative kids, and more fulfilled parents. Rondi and Janell will take you back to a time when simple creative projects were shared and enjoyed by the entire family.
Their beautiful book, Together: Creating Family Traditions received numerous awards, including a Benjamin Franklin Award for Best How-to Book, and a ForeWord Book of the Year Award in the Family and Relationships category.
