When What I Want Isn't What God Wants - Blog Entry

I needed to hear this today. My boyfriend, a man I loved dearly broke up with me out of the blue on Wed. I've been devastated but perhaps God closed the door loud and clear so I would know this was NOT HIS plan. Thanks for sharing.

Media and Kids - Blog Entry

Excellent comments. When I was growing up, we spent the majority of our time exploring the desert, riding bikes, making mud pies, swimming, and so on. We didn't have computers, video games, and few television shows. I wish more parents would go back in time, spending quality time with the children rather than allowing media to babysit. While there is a time and place, too much of anything can have major consequences.

What a WONDERFUL story. Thank you so much for sharing. Yes, I too have a strong-willed child and while there were challenges when young, today I have a beautiful grown child that I'm so proud of...thank you again - Renee

Teaching your Child to Stay in Bed - Blog Entry

I went through this with my kids too. I started a reward system, a great way for them to be motivated and earn some money. Both my son and daughter had a "Reward Jar" with their name on it. Each night they followed the bedtime rules, they were given a quarter. At the end of every month, we went on a special shopping trip where I matched the money they earned, allowing them to buy something they want. You would be shocked at how fast it worked....good luck and keep me posted.

Thank you for your comment. I too was picked on and remember how I was swayed just trying to fit in. Thank goodness, I turned out well. I think as parents, we need to understand these pressures and encourage our kids. Renee :)

Oh....wow, it's hard to find anyone from Arizona....I miss the mountains of the Flag area...don't miss the heat of the valley but I remember climbing old squaw peak and had a great childhood there...

Did you go to high school there?
