Who’s Your #1 Priority- Your Spouse or Kids, Part 2

02/11/2020 by Heidi

Couple walking with children to picnic.

Last week's blog post shared the cultural view of the husband-child balance for moms. The more time you spend with your child, the better chance the child will have to grow up intelligent and well-rounded.  Thus, the child should be your top priority since your husband is an adult and he can wait his turn.

Happy Valentine's month! Stores are filled with heart decor and candy, and love is in the air.

01/21/2020 by Heidi

Woman on a smartphone.

How do you avoid exhaustion in parenting? When I'm tired I tend to give into my children, but I know I should have firm boundaries. If you are a parent or teacher, you can relate to Stephanie's post in the ABCJesusLovesMe Facebook Group. When the kids are little, physical exhaustion develops just trying to keep them feed, bathed, and safe. ...
