Hello and welcome to episode 155 and today I have a very special episode for you. I'm going to be reading the first chapter of my new book

Simple Happy Parenting. You are listening to the Simple Families Podcast, a Q&A style show that brings you

solutions for living well with family. Here's your host, Deney Barajona.

Hi there, it's Deney, thanks so much for tuning in. I am so excited today to be

reading you the first chapter for my book, Simple Happy Parenting, The Secret of Less

for Calmer Parents and Happier Kids.

I'm actually going to be reading to you from a hard copy of the book because I just got my first copy in the mail this week and I can tell you it is

scentbird and I am definitely a fan.

Sent Bird is a fragrant subscription service for luxury brands.

You get to choose the perfume that you want to try and they send you a 30-day supply.

It's just a little refillable

bottle. It has 120 sprays, more than enough to apply four times a day for a month

if you are really ambitious. So I've been enjoying rediscovering perfume through Cent Bird now that I don't

feel the pressure to buy a huge bottle and use it all. So for the Simple Families

listeners there's an exclusive offer. You can get 50% off your first month. That's

only $7.50 for your first fragrance. Go to Centver.com forward slash simple and use my
