No, I am not referring to blended families that are sadly more and more common these days. I am referring to TOYS! Since Christmas just passed us by, I am sure many families were gifted with many toys and I thought this would be an appropriate time to share how we deal with toys. How […] Read more…

When asked about discipline
I’ve always said right in the beginning that Discipline is a very sensitive subject. So whenever I am asked about what we do and use as disciplinary methods/tools. I always hesitate to share especially if I know the parents are young, educated and all into attachment parenting which most modern parents are 😉 Why? Because we spank. […] Read more…
A love-hate relationship with the internet
In the past month, I came across 2 stories about children, porn and the internet that have made me wish that we could go back to the time when the internet wasn’t so easily available. Story #1 : an article circulating on Facebook about a 13 year old boy who has been listed on a Sex […] Read more…
Attacking our families blatantly

We think everything rests on our shoulders and therefore we must push on and ignore our need […] Read more…
Resting in the Lord
In the month of August, I was invited to share with a small group of homemaking mothers. These ladies gather regularly to meet and share their needs with each other. One of the ladies asked if I could share a devotion and any other topics that I felt was appropriate with these ladies. As I prayed […] Read more…
Ezzo Bashing
Time and time again whenever scheduling comes up with regards to a newborn baby, someone would bring up the Ezzos and then what I call the Ezzo-bashing would start. Many of those who bash them haven’t even read their books. What they have read are comments or blogs by others who may or may not […] Read more…
Looking back
The other day while out, I saw a mom who had a baby in a sling and was holding on to her 2 pre-schoolers, one in each hand, crossing the road. She was obviously dropping off the older 2 at the nearby preschool. Immediately that opened a floodgate of memories for me. Handling 3 young children […] Read more…
