You're tired of your kids not helping around the house and when you do ask them to help you are met with attitude and under-breath comments. You have probably stopped asking and started just doing everything yourself because you're tired of the fight with them. I was too but then I tired something different. To my surprise my son responded to my request with a positive attitude. He was pleasant and the task was finished quickly and thoroughly without me having to raise my voice or resort to any ...

Hey friend! Let me ask you something that you're probably not thinking about and you probably won't ever think about until you're in the thick of the moment.

Unable to even get off the couch for a couple of days. Thankfully our kids are 9, 11, and 13 and are able to take care of themselves fairly well but thr...

I've been blogging on social media for the past 9-10 years and recently I noticed social media was the root of causing me to become less social. I found myself excluding myself from in-person friendships and depending on social media more to fill that need in my life. You see, I was a lonely stay-at-home for years until I discovered I could connect with other moms and friends who were going through the same stage of life. Sure, the connections were kind of shallow and I couldn't depend on those ...

Let me ask you a question, how much time do you think you waste just looking for things in your house? Or even in your car or purse or at work?
