3 Reasons To Teach Children Friendship Boundaries

  “We’re sorry, but that’s what we decided. You’ll have to tell Cassie that we don’t think it’s best for you to sit with them.” I still remember the disappointment my parents’ decision caused me as a young teen. With few girls my age, the ache in my heart for friendship was a continual one.

Homeschooling in Canada – Jonessa Brown

  Hi there! My name is Jonessa, and I’m a homeschooling mom to a logical, fun-loving 7-year-old boy, and a fiery, artistic 4-year-old girl. We began this journey three years ago when it was time for my son to enter kindergarten. At the time, I just wasn’t ready to have him gone from me for

Hey Mama Monday: Your Children Are Seeds, and God Will Help You Raise Them into Adults

  Hey Mama, Right now they are popcorn. They are cracker jacks, laughing at anything and everything. Chuckle-heads with goofy humor.

Cabin Fever and Marathons

  Just before sitting down to write this I was busy hanging ornaments on our Christmas tree. Some are there only for beauty, but most hold a surprising amount of memory. I have a few from my own childhood (that survived the Great Fall of 2012) including a wooden soldier from when I was four

Making Changes That Count

  To many, the new year is symbolic of a fresh start. It is the birth of new hope and a discarding of past disappointments. I find myself reflecting on the past year in the weeks leading up to Christmas in order to take an inventory of the goals I made for myself, for the

3 Keys To Motivating Teens

  Are you struggling with how to motivate your teen? Are you tempted to send him off to school to get some discipline? That might not work, either. Maybe he sleeps half the day or falls asleep in the middle of your co-op class. Maybe he doesn’t seem to put much effort into his science
