Setting Boundaries

This is an issue that has come up quite often in my speaking engagements, speaking to groups of parents as well as my radio interviews.  What issue? The issue of setting boundaries in your household.

Do you set boundaries in your home? Are there rules that everyone must follow? Are your children aware of the rules of your home?

As a mother of 5 children it is imperative to have rules in our home.  My husband and I decided long ago, we would have certain boundaries that had to be instilled in order to have a healthy relationship.

Family Moments – Taking a Break

When was that last time you took a break?

It’s time to take a break with your family.  This is the best thing to do, to unwind and refresh.

This is the perfect time of year to do it – summer time, when all is blooming and children are out of school.

Now is the time to enjoy your family and escape from it all.  Instead of heading to an amusement park or water park, consider some quiet time like hiking, or camping.

Really, enjoy your family time together without the distractions.

Strengthening Your Teen’s Self Esteem

Teens have a rough time, because they are in the ‘in-between- stage’.  We can’t call them children but we can’t call them adults either.  They are experiencing changes within their bodies on a daily basis and let’s not forget the emotional  changes!

So, needless to say teens have a rough time!

Along with the normal  chaos, teens often suffer from low self-esteem and peer pressure. Females are more prone to self-esteem issues and often get more attention for the problem, but males are just as susceptible. In fact, any teen is vulnerable to self-esteem challenges.

My Bible Cards Review and Giveaway

I must say that when I was first contacted by Creations by Design about  My Bible Cards I was a bit curious.  Having several children, I am quite aware of the trading cards and how much fun they can be.  My oldest son was a Pokeman fanatic and loved collecting them.  Geez, I remember collecting baseball cards and trading them with my friends! Yes, girls like trading cards too.

So, as I mentioned I was very interested in reviewing the My Bible Cards trading cards as well as my children.  We always study bible verses and it can get quite cumbersome, but these cards were perfect.

Wow! Only 2 weeks Away!

Can you believe that Christmas is only 2 weeks away? I was in complete shock when I checked my calendar and realized how quickly this year has passed.

I live in awe of God’s grace on a daily basis.  I look at my beautiful children and am completely amazed and in wonder that I gave birth to them and how quickly they have grown.  My oldest son will turn 15 next week and it seems like only yesterday I was moving to Florida after graduating with a 2 year-old and him in my belly.  That just goes to show how quickly time flies.
