“Life is better being a mom.”
Letting Your Kids Go Is Tough
Our kids are growing up faster than we'd like to admit. Newborns are quickly become walking and talking toddlers. Toddlers are quickly becoming bike riding, sentence completing elementary schoolers. Elementary kids are quickly becoming hormonal and fearless teenagers. Teenagers are quickly becoming grown adults, leaving the nest and heading off for life on their own. I'm sure it'll all be a blur one day as our kids leave the nest, but for now (those of us with fairly young children), we need to cherish only having to let go a little.
Nobody knows you better than your kids
I came to this conclusion in the car the other day while running errands with my girls. Singing <em>obnoxiously and having a dance like nobody's watching attitude. Think about it.
What I wanna teach my kids about friendship
Life isn't meant to be lived alone. That's why we were created to be in relationships with others, whether that be marriage, dating, or friendship! Friendship is beautiful if done in the right way. Often times I see and hear sad things in the world though that make me question how people really view friendship. This is why I want to teach my kids how to do them well!
Moving with children
We just finished moving from California to Colorado as my husband took on an awesome new job. Can I just mention that I am beyond happy that we no longer have to pay California housing prices? Hallelujah! Anyways, 18 hours of driving with four young children (7, 4, 3, and 1) and I thought to myself...
Be the change
Have you ever thought about children other than your own? Children who have less than yours? Typically our lives are so chaotic as parents doing things for our children that we don’t feel we have extra time to think about children other than our own. I get it, we are constantly pouring out all of our energy and love for our own.... as we should!
The Battle of Raising Healthy Kids
Have any of you parents ever struggled to get your kids to eat a well balanced meal? Have any of you given up and thrown some snacks down on the table instead? guilttttty!!
Sleep...What’s That?
If you are a parent of young children, just remember that you are a rockstar! You work at the office or at home with the kids with constant lack of sleep. You are awesome!!!!! If you're a parent, you know all too well of these various stages.....
