But the Priorities and Hours Don’t Add Up?
Pin It Did you enjoy our Scheduling Success series? I pray that it opened your eyes to areas that need attention and showed you how to make the most of your time. It was revealing to me! Let's review. Using the scriptures we decided the following list of priorities: God Husbands Children Along with these three ...
Natural Consequences
Pin It This is a repost from a Summer of 2009. Bubs is older now but we still use natural consequences to help our children learn the importance of obedience. I love natural consequences. I think allowing life to provide its own consequences is the best form of discipline. But using them with younger children can be difficult to ...
We Need Girlfriends!
Pin It I have blogged several times about the importance of having godly women in your life. God made us relational for a reason. To be able to grow and stay strong as a mom, we need the support and love a close friend can give. I found this poem several years ago and wanted to share. A friend is one who STRENGTHENS you with ...
It Rears Its Ugly Head Yet Again
Here it is 6:15 Thursday morning and I don't have a blog post written for today. I typically have them written days if not weeks in advance. Today...nothing.

We are still in the process of figuring out exactly what is going on with my son, but he has total melt downs over very small things and the ...
An Update on Our Family
It is time for an update. Bubs Bubs is seven with a birthday just around the corner. He just finished 1st Grade and had a great teacher and year. It is crazy how the dynamics change now that he is home all day. This has created an adjustment for all of us. Sensory wise, Bubs continues to have very rough ...
What Do You Want?
Yesterday I confessed, asked forgiveness, and shared what God is teaching me. In all my garbled words, I hope that you understood my heart's cry is to ministry to you. Yes, you! (No, I don't care that you are still in your pajamas, just yelled at your child, and haven't brushed your teeth for 72 hours!) Through this blog, I ...
“I Hate You!” he said.
"I hate you." He was mad because things weren't going his way. The issue was extremely minor but in his small view of life, he thought the issue was worth exploding over and then he lost it. This isn't the first time that I have heard these words come from my seven-year-old son's mouth. The hurtful phrase started about six months ago and ...
