Virtues/Values

I cried over a banana split

Just the other day, each child had a friend over and I took them to get ice cream. So, I was feeling like mother of the year. A playdate AND ice cream. However, the day was getting long and the complaints were getting to me. They needed more snacks. They needed a different song. And …

What every kids needs this Summer. Huge News!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when so many of my favorite things come together. My heart for teaching kids about virtues through fun. A desire to do more than entertain all summer. A yearning to support CARE for AIDS in new ways. My ongoing quest to make SERVICE easy for families. The collision of that list = a …

Are you stuck in a frustrating cycle? I’ve been there too.

by Sandra Stanley Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a repeating cycle? It might be a negative behavior that relentlessly eats your lunch. Maybe it’s a habit you just can’t seem to shake.

What if we just said “Thank You”

I know for me – I over-think most of life. I over-think parenting, thanksgiving and everything in between. I make parenting and most things in life pretty complicated. So, let’s dumb it down for today. What if we just took Thanksgiving and had a simple goal – could we get our kids to say thanks? …

Moving a ship of prideful humans

Here’s one thing we do well in our home – love. My girls know they rock the house. We love, we do experiences, we gift, we praise, we say yes – SO MUCH that there is a downside. There are little people that begin to think the world revolves around them. Don’t get me wrong …

How Africa Changed My Children

by Kylie White Y’all.  Life is busy. I get it. I have a 4, 6, 7, and 9 year old. Two different schools, two different pickup times, two different sports, 4 different personalities that all have different demands from my husband and I. My to-do list rolls over each month as things get un-done, and I …

How to combat the brat. That rhymes.

I wish I had a nicer word, but kids can be brats. And I was a brat. I cringe when I think about the fits I threw my parents when things didn’t go my way. Or I didn’t GET exactly what I wanted. Gross. Like you, I am striving to raise responsible kids – not spoiled, bratty …

Do you consider the NO’s in your life a PRAISE?

I met Leah in Boston! It has been one of my favorite speaking stops to date – because Boston is not in the Bible belt. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in a culture different than my own. And they are the only family to attack me with silly string after I spoke at their church. Enjoy this beautiful guest …
