I recently was contacted by a subscriber and she shared her heart and a few challenges that she’s having with her kiddos. As I read her email, I felt her pain and the frustration of the part of parenting that sometimes can be so hurtful…disrespectful children. My kids aren’t perfect. We’ve had plenty of hiccups [...]

Two Princes

Once upon a time two little Princes went happily off to sleep each night with a bedtime prayer and story in their quiet home and room…. As the years went on however, this story did not get so “happily ever after”.  As more Princes joined the story, bedtime got a little less peaceful and a [...]

Often the unexpected comes in forms that we never could have anticipated. Both good and bad come from the unexpected, we just never know what we’re going to end up with.

September 17, 2009 | By | |

Mommy Realities … they’re all about what we can learn from the things we experience daily with our children.
