500 Pieces of Prudent Advice For My Daughter

Ever since Jaime Morrison Curtis' daughter was born, she's been keeping a blog cataloging all the advice she wants to make sure she has under her belt before going out into the world. There's also modern art and poetry, plus submissions sent in from readers around the world. Some of them made us laugh out loud and others had us remembering to heed such advice in our own lives...

500 Pieces of Prudent Advice is Jaime's blog that holds all the wonderful ideas and thoughts for her daughter. We're curious if we were able to read 500 pieces of advice from our own mother early on if we could have made a few less mistakes and been ok with a few more feelings or situations. What advice would you add to her already long list of wise words?

Leave us your thoughts in the comments below and don't be afraid to send your ideas over to Jaime herself!

This was just what I needed today.

One thing I learned from my dad, actually: Don't save the fine china just for the guests. Use it whenever you feel like it because life should be celebrated everyday. To this day, I do not have "special occasion" only silverware, purses, shoes, clothes, toys...I'd like to teach my child to just take care of things and use them as she pleases. That way she'll be living life (or at least that aspect with respect to "Stuff") to the fullest.

thank you so much for posting my site. it makes me so happy to know you liked it. i hope to hear from your readers, the best advice is always something i never thought of.

Another site with a similar idea, 1001 Rules for my unborn son, is an enjoyable read.

Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey. One of the most important things that dad taught me.

Always have a partner/husband/boyfriend who makes you laugh.

In the long run, sex doesn't matter as much as a good kiss.

Don't trust anyone who can't be kind to animals or small children.

jgphotomom...that third one is absolutely true! And, it has to be both, not just one, for the person to be trustworthy.
