He Will Tell Everyone Our Adoption Story

We were at the emergency vet for one of our dogs last night and the doctor mentioned about adoption so of course we went into what agency we had experienced with the adoption of our kids. It is so funny my normally shy husband comes out of his shell when people talk to him about adoption. The story always starts with the night he got the call that we were selected for the two boys. We had already been turned down for the first two children we were put in for so when we did not get a call all … Continue reading →

New to Marriage Blog but Not to Marriage

I’m popping in to say, ‘Hi’ and feeling excited to be joining Courtney on the marriage blog. My husband and I have been married for over 40 years, so hopefully I’ve learned something about marriage in that time to share with you all. Since May 2007 I have been writing in the Christian area and popping in for the occasional guest movie review. A number of my blogs in Christian have covered marriage. You can check some of them out below. Much of my life involves writing. I’m fortunate to have a husband who fully supports me. He thinks I … Continue reading →

Henry’s Show and Tell – Nancy Carlson

“Henry’s Show and Tell” by Nancy Carlson is the cute story of a little gray mouse named Henry. He loves to go to kindergarten and listen to stories, learning his letters, singing songs, and painting pictures. He has a wonderful teacher named Ms. Bradley, and he really likes to go outside and play ball with his friends. But with all these things to love, unfortunately there’s something he doesn’t love . . . show and tell! He likes hearing what the other kids have to share. It’s interesting to hear them talk about their collections, their favorite things, and their … Continue reading →

Tell Him He’s Wonderful

Yesterday I watched my husband telling the Bible story and how the young children focused on what he told them. He has a real gift in relating to children. I told him that and how I enjoy teaching with him. ‘I love Scripture’ one of the girls at school said yesterday. ‘So do I,’ I replied. ‘Because I love that we can come and tell you about Jesus.’ I especially love the way my husband’s been passionate for over thirty years about teaching children of Jesus I love the way he knows when I need to write and leaves me … Continue reading →

The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Today we are supposed to hit a record high of 85 degrees. That is more than 20 degrees above normal for this day and virtually unheard of for October. (Believe me I’m not complaining.) Regardless of the temperature, I’m still getting into the holiday spirit. Today I’m picking up the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book from my friend’s house. I can’t afford a single item in the 81st edition of the luxury gift catalog, but that never stops me from dreaming. If you have ever peeked inside the famous holiday catalog you know that you don’t have to be a millionaire … Continue reading →

Changes: Anger at Him

In Changes: Anger at Myself I talked about the main reasons I felt angry with myself when I found out that I was going to be a single parent. As I discussed there, yes, I did have reasons to be angry with myself. I also had reasons to be angry with him. Like I said before, I honestly can’t remember all of the reasons for my anger, but these are the main reasons. One of the biggest reasons I was angry with him was because he told me I HAD to “get rid of it.” He already knew my feelings … Continue reading →

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) Movie Review

George Bailey, in a stellar performance by Jimmy Stewart, is a dreamer with big plans who has his whole wonderful life planned out. But, as usual, things don’t go according to plan. His father dies and he is all that stands between the whole town being held in monopoly by the wicked Mr. Potter. Taking on the weight of the world, he makes the best of it, investing in people rather than large returns at the Bailey family-run Savings & Loan. When the stock market crashes on the day he is to leave for his honeymoon, Bailey and his new … Continue reading →

Posted on by

Hello everyone! I am the newest blogger for the education forum here at Families.com.

Take a Deep Breath

I have a confession to make. I give great advice, but I haven’t been following it lately. I’ve been letting the stress of life get to me. So much so that I had a major melt down last night which in turn led my body to tell me to quit it. How does my body tell me this you ask? I woke up with a cold sore. I had never had one of these until I met my ex-husband, one of the many negative things he passed along. But now, whenever I let the emotional stress consume me I inevitably … Continue reading →

Raising Competent Children

As parents we strive, among other things, to raise children who will become competent adults. The other day I came across a wonderful article by Dr. Laura Markham about competence in children. When we speak of competence in adults, we often think of things like skill and efficiency – but where do these things come from? Are they something that you are either born with (or not) or are they a product of something greater than mere genetics? It may or may not come as a surprise to you to learn that competence in children is linked to emotional well … Continue reading →
