Review: The Five Love Languages of Children
How do I love on my kiddos? How do they know that they are loved? These are things that really got me thinking one day.

Yokin’ Up
Have you ever thought about the fact that Bible verses never change? Before thanking me for stating the obvious, hang with me. I mean the Bible verses that I read during quiet time are the same verses that I learned about as a child. One would think that once you learn the verse, that would be it. No reason to reread a ...

Father's Day is just around the corner. Since I don't live near my parents, I typically don't get to spend Father's Day with my Dad. Despite the miles, I have an extremely close relationship with my Dad. We talk on the phone 4-5 times a week, Skype 2-3 times a week, and get to be together every 6-8 weeks. I know...I have it ...
Focus on the Family: Surviving the Strong-Willed Child
We have three very strong-willed children with one more in question. They come by it honestly because their Momma is a very strong-willed adult! They are all strong-willed in different ways. They battle different things and in different ways. But each of them will fight to the end for what they believe ...
