I have had several recent chances to reflect on how much my big kids help my little kids learn, grow and navigate the world we live in. Even my middle guy helps his little brothers — sometimes he’s the little kids being helped and sometimes he is the big kid helping! It’s a good thing, [...]

I never did finish the Gratitude Challenge posts in November when I had planned to feature each of my children in a post, so I am continuing on now. My son Jonathan is amazing. He has always been wonderful about helping me when I need help. He is so strong, and all of his little [...] We have had a wonderful time visiting with my parents (Neena and Papaw) this week. Today my Dad turned 74. To celebrate we went to the Pacific Ocean (Redondo Beach) and took pictures. We also ate at Panera! It was a beautiful sunny day.

If they are given the choice to watch any movie they want, they will pick Star Wars five times in a row. My husband is not a crazy fan, but he is definitely a fan.

I wish I had known how much more we could have been doing with Anna! I got Anna (my eight year [...] I first found this idea in The Toddler’s Busy Book by Trish Kuffner and I have used it for all six of my children.
