Posted on June 24, 2013 by Blog Author — Leave a reply

It took me three weeks, but I did it. I finally compiled a list of skills I want my kids to work on this summer. These are skills that I don’t have time to address during the school year and by focusing now…we will all benefit next school year.

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Blog Author — Leave a reply

These are my morning buddies. They are the ones who get up most mornings and pull together something for everyone to eat for breakfast. I am not a morning person so this blesses me abundantly day after day. My boys didn’t just start throwing together ingredients one day and call it a success. It took me taking the time to Continue Reading →

As I sit on the sidelines of the sports field, I am engulfed with the noise of those around me cheering on the players. It is a sea of voices and I wonder if my voice will be heard–why even bother? Yet when I join my voice with the crowd, my child turns and our eyes lock. They have heard Continue Reading →

Practice Makes Perfect

Do your children have habits that absolutely drive you nuts?  I’m not talking personality.  I’m talking about things that they do that make you want to tear out your hair.  Mine do and I imagine they are not the only children on earth with “issues.” I wonder, what do you do when your children do their “thing” that sends you through the Continue Reading →

The Pay-Off of Training

Posted on December 11, 2009 by Blog Author — 2 Comments ↓

I’m having a bit of difficulty getting to writing this week. The temperature has dropped significantly here and that means our home follows suit. This is the point at which we begin our hibernation upstairs. We do everything, including our school, up in my room. If the kitchen and laundry were up there…that would be ideal. I’m sure my cousin, Continue Reading →

Forgiveness is Not for Sissies

Posted on July 16, 2009 by Blog Author — Leave a reply

I have been struggling this week. I have been working through some things that I should have mastered by now, but a bit of Should-itis has snuck up on me. I never really finished explaining to you what Should-itis is and the story of how I discovered it in my life and how I beat it. I’ll get back to Continue Reading →

Training Questions

Posted on December 10, 2008 by Blog Author — Leave a reply

I was going to write about it but decided that since I had already done it, to not re-invent the wheel. I have added categories for my writing in the side-bar (not that Continue Reading →

Who is in Charge Here?

Posted on November 23, 2008 by Blog Author — 2 Comments ↓

Let me ask you a question. Who is in charge in your home? I’m not asking about who wears the pants in the family. I’m not asking about whether it’s you or your husband. That’s another post for another day. I’m asking…is it you or your children? I know your immediate reply will, of course, be that you are in Continue Reading →
