You are your child’s caregiver and protector. When divorce rears it’s ugly head, you’ve got to be sure your children are buffered as much as possible. Here are some key ideas to consider to be sure that occurs.

You’ll never read any words from my pen that indicate that divorce is just “jolly good fun.” It isn’t. It’s painful. Nobody on this earth thinks “Gosh, wouldn’t it just be great to get a divorce?” No, we’d slog thru mud up to our necks to avoid it.

Combining parenting with a home based business has many advantages so if you are wanting to go down this track you need to carefully consider how to go about it.

Home based businesses are on the rise and it is no surprise because it allows mums to earn an income and attend to the child rearing. When small children are involved, it is fantastic to be able to work from home and be a hands-on mom as well.

The romantic side of a relationship is often trumped by a need for sleep. Parents don’t want to talk openly about this topic, but I can assure you that many are experiencing this problem.

Let’s face it?.kids are EXHAUSTING.  And the romantic side of a relationship is often trumped by a need for sleep.

Parents don’t want to talk openly about this topic, but I can assure you that many are experiencing this problem.  It’s extremely common for tired parents to opt for sleep over love making.  While you might feel guilty saying “Not tonight honey? it doesn’t change a thing.  You’re still not interested.

Everybody has a family of some kind. Some are great. Some are challenging. It’s up to you how you accept their influences.

Nobody gets into life without a family. At a minimum, one mom and one dad are requisite. If you got folks who loved and supported you, that’s your lot in life. If you got folks who did not love and support you, that’s your lot in life. God is not unloving, so you wouldn’t ever be asked to handle something you could not handle. If your family is a challenge for you, it’s because you can handle it.

Lessons learned from a family garage sale.

A few years ago I learned a very valuable lesson about myself.  I do not like to host garage sales, but I love the money that comes from getting rid of my “junk.? Yep!  You heard me say it, “JUNK!? By definition junk means to me: used stuff, in good condition, that one person no longer wants but another person has been looking for at a good price.

When the weather is nice, the kids (and Mom) are itching to get outside and play. I personally like the playing to learn approach. Did you know there’s an outdoor world of math and reading fun that awaits you, and all you need is sidewalk chalk, dice, and your imaginations? Anything we can do inside on paper can be done outside on the driveway or sidewalk, as long as we don’t care if it eventually gets “erased” by rain or sprinklers. Not only do the kids and I get to exercise our brains but we also get to exercise our bodies. I get to stretch my hamstrings and quads as I bend over to draw game boards or numbers, and the kids get to hop, skip, and jump around. Here are a few favorite sidewalk games I’d like to share. You can adapt any of them to the abilities of your children, and multiple ages can play together.
