I recently sat down with Shaunti Feldhahn to ask her if she is a stuffer or an exploder and she gave me a GREAT tip to share with you moms on how to avoid over-reacting with your kids! FYI - Shaunti just re-released her million seller book...go check it out! For more tips on how to handle "anger management" go visit Moms March Madness! … [Read more...]
Just Write A Post Already!
You must know that pretty much every day I write a post to place on my blog site here. The problem...I write it in my head while I am doing something else that needs my attention. Rest assured that once I get through MomLife Boot Camp (that’s coming up in April) the posts will pick up again. Between now and then it will be hit or miss...but thankfully there is no shortage of great content from many, many bloggers! You know you can … [Read more...]
College Visit, Random Observations
This past weekend was Family Weekend at my daughter’s university. Her father, brother and I happily attended this annual event and were eager to spend time together as a family to recapture some of the mojo we miss on a daily basis. Oh wow...it was glorious. The missing element to our family dynamics returned, that sweet, sometime snarky, always genuine, rapport was back and somehow turned up a notch because our girl has a unique relationship … [Read more...]
Mom Waste Of Time
Throughout my life keeping busy and being productive with my time has been a welcomed trait, one that has served me well. It is almost as if I have this little “I am wasting time here” meter going off in my head at any given moment and thus I strive hard not to be unproductive. Do you feel me here? Are you nodding in agreement? Let us continue our back patting of our profound ability to accomplish! Yay us! As a born “organizer” have you too … [Read more...]
Cruisin – Love Like You Mean It Style!
Wow...what a week I had last week! Monday hubby and I sailed off into the sunset (literally) from the port of Miami on the FamilyLife Love Like You Mean It Marriage Cruise and spent the next four days enjoying what can best be described as the decades ago memorable...dare I say it...Love Boat! It really is encouraging to see a boat full of couples being intentional in pouring into their marriage. We met many couples who liked the idea of … [Read more...]
Don’t Shoot The Mom Messenger
Don’t you just love it when you follow a link to a post and discover God brought you there for His purposes? Last night I read a sweet moms thoughts and weighed what she had to say, considered how it applied me, (and others) understanding that she obviously felt convicted on the issue and led to share with those who read her blog. You see, she has a relationship with those who read her blog. She knows them, they know her – there is heart … [Read more...]

It's simple really...who does your day belong to? … [Read more...]
MOB’s, Listen Up!
That little boy of mine, the one that used to beat on the front the door with his tiny little palm and chant, “outside, outside, outside” – yeah that one, he is over six feet tall now. The little dimples that have always winked at me when he smiles, still do. Somehow because he is headed towards manhood, they are even more adorable now than they used to be. Perched up there above the scraggly beard. One day last week, with his green eyes … [Read more...]
Praying for Discipline
Last month I was asked to be a part of the 31 Days of Prayer over at Family Matters Blog and I was blessed and happy to be a part of their prayer focus. Prayer is so very important moms. Several months ago over at MomLife Today we began sharing daily Mom Prayers and to date, that seems to be one of the moms favorite offerings we provide to them. Oh, how necessary it is to pray for our precious children. I found it most interesting that … [Read more...]
Weekend Challenge
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about being an overwhelmed mom and suggested that spending quality time with your children may just help you battle those overwhelmed feelings. You know what else will help? A bit of flirting. Yes, I am talking to my married friends out there...you need to flirt with your hubby! Far too often the stresses of daily life burden a mom right out of one of the greatest stress relievers of all – sweet … [Read more...]
