Do you know your teen or adult children?
“When they are little, they step all over your toes. When they are big, they step all over your heart.” (My friend heard this from a speaker, I don’t know who it was)

I was listening to a podcast and this person was saying how they had fallen in love with someone who was married. Of course, they were very confused and struggling with it. But in the end, they decided that they needed to “live their truth” and be true to themselves by telling this married person…
Is there anything that would have prepared you for the amount of worrying you can do as a mom?! Like most parents, there is a point when you hold your newborn and a overwhelming sense of fear, dread, and worry comes over you. I distinctly remember saying to myself, “This child and her wellbeing is going…
The quality of your friends will affect your marriage, your parenting, and your self-confidence. Be careful who you associate with.
Your children will not know God if you are not regularly reading the Bible to them. The actual Bible, not a storybook. Cover to cover. Over and over. Scriptures are God’s word spoken directly to you. If we do not read God’s word for ourselves, we leave way too much room for other people to tell us what He said. And that is dangerous.
Want to know one of the dumbest, most ignorant, and delusional, statements I’d hear when it came to parenting?
It’s not about teaching your children about the fires of hell. It’s about sharing with them the terror of being completely separated from the Living God forever.
It’s surreal to think that kids could be out of school for most of 2020. If your school closed at the end of March, as ours did, and they go back in September (which I doubt), that will be six months of no school! And as many of you have heard, there is sincere doubt…
When I copied these titles from my kids’ records, such warm and happy memories washed over me. I remember reading several of these books with them and they are some of my best parenting moments. I will say it over and over again and tell anyone who asks. The best thing you can do for…
Within most circles, the adoption of a child is a joyous event. Have you seen those “gotcha day” Instagram posts? Most people are very happy for the parents and it is celebrated. But one thing that I have always noticed missing is the acknowledgement that this happy event has roots of intense trauma and that…
I love reading and it was definitely one of the things I wanted to pass onto my kids. I know that it’s an uphill battle these days but I really encourage you to get your kids to read. In many ways, it will save you a lot of grief later. Reading can mitigate so many…
Homeschooling the elementary years were good years. I wish I had enjoyed them more by just chilling out and not being so stressed out about all of it. Of course I didn’t know what the final result of our homeschooling would be so I was worried. But now I know that any diligent parent really…
