I’ve been getting lots of questions from moms of little ones. I keep hearing from you that you are overwhelmed and discouraged. I wish I could wrap my arms around each of you and tell you it will be OK. But since I can’t, I am so glad there is One that can.
Your daughter’s heart is like a garden, you will grow what you plant. But before you can really grow anything in your daughter’s heart you must know and understand her heart.
When the kids were really little James saw that I needed a regular break, one that I could count on. So he gave me a night off. Every Thursday as far back as I can remember has been “Mom’s Night Off.”
James and I had a sort of vacation this weekend. We left home all day Friday and Saturday to work at the THSC booth at a homeschool conference. It was like a mini honeymoon, without the romance or beach umbrellas.
A letter to young men…..
We clean the house on Saturday mornings. Everyone pitches in and we get things sparkly clean in a couple of hours. So I gave Adam a job…
I am sore today. It’s pathetic really. I haven’t done enough to be sore, which probably means I need to move around more.
I’ve spent the last two days surrounded by piles. Piles of things I need to take with me to Nashville, piles of to-do lists, piles of school work that I need to leave behind for the kids.
It has been harder to prepare to leave them than if I were taking them with me.
As parents, it is so easy to lose sight of the big picture. Long term goals are hard to remember when we’re trying to make dinner and the three year old is fussing. Our children’s adulthood seems so far off. But really, it is just a touch away.
Sometimes children have a behavior problem that is hard to solve.
What do you do when little Susie is behaving badly with her friends? You aren’t always right there to correct her.
