Parent and child
The Gentle Parenting Book – The book that I read from cover to cover before I gave birth and which, I think, should be required reading for anyone thinking about becoming a parent.
This book describes in an easy-to-understand language what science has found to be true of children from newborn babies to seven-year-olds.
No myths here!
Gentle parenting is not a trend but rather a method of parenting that embraces the needs of parent and child in a way that embraces current science and child psychology.
It also offers ways to help parents who started as authoritarians but now want to transition to a more gentle (but completely evidence-based) approach.
No Drama Discipline – As the name suggests, this is a parenting book that revolves around discipline.
It contains strategies that help parents identify their own discipline philosophy—and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they are trying to impart.
Also, discover actual facts on child brain development from professionals (and not self-professed experts with no scientific background or even parenting experience) and what kind of discipline is most appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages.
Finally, find out the best way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child—no matter how extreme the behaviour—while still setting clear and consistent limits.
Bonus: This book also contains tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight, empathy, and repair instead of engaging in a power struggle that serves to prolong the tantrum and sever your connection with your child. It also has twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make—and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques.
Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids – This is practically my parenting bible and has really helped me cope with my own child who, like all children, pushes all my triggers.
This book is designed to help parents better understand and regulate their own emotions so that they can become more peaceful and, therefore, parent with healthy limits, empathy, and clear communication.
The author gives step-by-step easy-to-implement examples of solutions and kid-tested phrasing for parents of toddlers right through the elementary years.
Finance

If you have children as young as two, start teaching them the basics of money management.
If you’re a parent or planning to be a parent, the resources in this post are a must-read for you.
They contain videos, books and apps that can help you manage your own finances so you can afford to have a child, make sure you don’t go into debt due to child-related expenses and teach your child effective money management skills so they don’t get into debt when they’re older.

Home
How To Make A House Feel Like Home – Just because you own a house doesn’t mean you have a home. The difference is in the details and this post was written to help you with the transformation.
How To Create A Family Manifesto – Harmony is essential to a blissful home. When you have a set of rules, it’s easier to create harmony. When these rules are made by each member of the family who all agree to abide by them, then there is a greater desire in each of them to follow said rules. This post is easy-to-implement and, in the process, will help you discover what each family member believes is important.
How To Keep Your House Clean And Organized When You Have Kids – When you have children, it’s so hard to keep on top of housework.

I certainly needed the help and am so grateful that many of my blogging friends were happy to provide helpful hacks that really work.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up – The bible of all minimalists, organisers and declutter-enthusiasts. An essential resource for anyone who wishes to create a blissful home. A must-read!
Thank you for putting together this extensive list of how to live a blissful life! Love all of the different options in books articles and movies. Especially love the one referencing on “how to keep your house clean with kids.” This is a challenge I struggle with each day living on a farm and having two young children.

I am a big lover of this and I will try all my best to ensure that I can get as many as I can from these. They all will help at various areas of life here and can help one to develop at various areas of life. Thanks so much for sharing
You’re welcome! I’m really glad you like it. 🙂
