When I first became a mom, I wasn't prepared for a lot of things. I was probably MOST unprepared for the fact that my children would start asking me hard questions. As a mom, you know that when your kids ask you a question you BETTER have the answer! If you don't have it, who possibly could? You are everything to them and they look to you for advice. I didn't realize I would have to take a hard stance on so many issues I didn't even realize were issues before! Oh the questions I was unprepared for! Does the Easter Bunny come to our house? What happens when you die? Will Keep Reading

You Are the Light of the World

There you will find a list of November prayers for Thanksgiving, 30 Days of Praying the Psalms, Praying the Scriptures for Your Family, index card memory verses, and more.

Best Parenting Book About Discipline
I was just on a much-needed vacation this weekend with some old friends who are running into discipline problems with their two year olds. They asked me what they should do - as a mom of three, they figured I had a few tricks up my sleeve. As it turns out, I have a simple solution for every single parent who faces a defiant child (so basically anyone who has a 2-year-old!) It's a parenting book about discipline written by Dr. James Dobson. Why This is the Best Parenting Book About Discipline Ever Written This book was recommended to me about 4 years ago by a dear church friend who saw Keep Reading
The Christmas Tradition I Can’t Live Without
Recently, I attended a workshop at church about how parents can keep Christ at the center if Christmas. A few days prior to that, I had just posted about how the approach of Thanksgiving always makes me start stressing about my Christmas to-do list. What this workshop helped me realize us that we're losing sight of the true meaning of Christmas by making it more about cookie exchanges, Christmas cards, and presents than about Jesus. I saw myself in every example the speaker gave. I'm the person who cringes at the thought of spending $150+ on Christmas photos and cards yet does it Keep Reading
How My Kids Have Helped Me Care for Others
One of the things I love most about being a mom is how it's opened up my heart to caring for others in ways I hadn't thought of before. Before I had children, I was sort of stuck in my own little self-obsessed world because I only had myself to worry about (and my husband, of course, but we both worked a lot and didn't really see each other all that much back then). Sad, I know. Selfless Caring As a mom, I had to learn to selflessly care for another person. The kind of love that kids require. I'm glad I am called to do this, and I've found my children's activities expose me to all Keep Reading
