Slacker moms say "No" to parenting philosophies that undermine parents'-and children's-ability to think for themselves. They say "Yes" to saving their money and time by opting out of the parenting competition. And they say "Hell, Yes!" to having a life of their own, knowing it makes them better parents.In this witty and insightful book, author Muffy Mead-Ferro reflects on her experience of growing up on a ranch in Wyoming, where parenting-by necessity-was more hands-off, people "made do" with what they had, and common sense and generational wisdom prevailed. We should all take her sane lead!

After eighteen years of teaching guitar, Alexander Sanchez has now created the first book in his series on the fundamentals of the guitar! This guide takes the established vertical chart system and turns it sideways to make it easier to understand, AND it also shows how certain scales fit together harmoniously across various areas of the guitar neck! This is one of the easiest ways to understand how to improvise on the guitar, as this color-coded system was created through a neuro-linguistic approach for fast learning! Through his many years of practice and education, Alex has created a guide perfect for beginners or anyone looking to brush up on their guitar-playing capabilities in an easy-to-read style. About the Author Alexander Sanchez is a multi-instrumentalist who has taught guitar, bass, drums, and piano professionally for the better part of two decades, and currently teaches at the School of Rock in Lubbock, Texas.
