Helmer in the Dragon Tomb is…

    I am an Amazon Affiliate and an affiliate of other companies and therefore may earn commission through the links listed on this site at no extra cost to you. Parenting is hard. And while we would love to think it would come naturally, it does not. There are a lot of parenting books and advice and “experts” in the world claiming to have all the answers.
