My hubby and I went on a hike this week, a long one, which meant lots of uninterrupted time to talk. On that hike I thanked him for all he had done the previous week to help with the kids when my week was demanding at work, like he even did practice spelling tests and… Continue reading He Wants To Help You

I love the analogy about how women are like spaghetti and men are like waffles. Women's emotions are intertwined and interwoven. When something is bothering us it affects our whole being. And men, well they can more easily compartmentalize and keep those feelings in a box, and life goes on. I'm not sure which marriage… Continue reading Water His Heart

When you prepare, you're more prepared right? Whether it be food prep, clothing, finances, schedules, when you prioritize and plan it out, calendar it, write it down or map it out, you're better set up for success. We do it for our kids, at our jobs, in our home, but do we do it for… Continue reading Put it on the Calendar

I remind my myself, and of course my kids, that you are in control of you and the choices you make, so choose well. The choices you make, the road you take, how you spend your time, the words you allow out of your mouth, the friends you choose to surround yourself with, the foods… Continue reading Choices are a Choice

But, as you know,… Continue reading Thank you, Sir.

Your words matter, as I've said many times, but especially to your children. You have the ability to speak life to them, to really build them up, or tear them down for that matter. As you know, each child has different passions, abilities, heart desires, love for different things etc. so they each need to… Continue reading Build Them Up

I hear you mamas, it can be draining, and at times you feel hopeless, and you feel like you’ve repeated yourself 400 times, you’re exhausted, BUT this is where I come in to give you hope and a breath of fresh air, or maybe even a new tip or trick that might change your course… Continue reading Parenting Your Littles

As we were driving down a two lane road with a beautiful lake on the left side, I looked to the right and showed the kids the cute cherry signs lining the street for a good half of a mile. They were advertising their sweet and delicious cherries that were growing, and for sale in… Continue reading Are You Producing Fruit?
