Seth Godin Approved By This Mom
Like he needs it! All the same, as the mother of a Senior in High School and a believer in Seth Godin's marketing guru-ness, imagine my delight as I peeped upon his post today titled, Pushing Back on Mediocre Professors. You tell em Mr. Godin...uh Seth...dude! As a mother of a child that I was told tested "off the charts" I am all too familiar with teachers who go through the motions. She was once used to actually create standardized tests … [Read more...]
Modesty for Mom
Yesterday I was having a conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn (Yeah, how cool is that? She was at FamilyLife and I did a video interview with her for MomLife Today.) and one of the areas of conversation left me feeling pretty hyped up and ready to spout off! So – put your helmets on ladies, here goes! I’m gonna just say it straight out – we need to be mindful of how we dress and stop dressing like the unjustly celebrated Desperate … [Read more...]
Dr. Phil…Almost Right
I try to watch some of the offerings made available on television – I think it’s important to know what’s going on in the world even as I strive to remain not of the world.

New Header Time?
OK - I am so excited...my very creative and artistic daughter is going to make me a new header for my blog! She has always been my biggest supporter when it comes to me following my dreams! (Well, her and my hubby!) I think she has a keen appreciation for the fact that I had a boomin career, but set it aside and "retired" upon becoming a mother so I could concentrate on momlife. She has always tagged along and been quite helpful as I did my … [Read more...]
