When our kids say they are bored, our immediate response is: It's good to be bored! Well, just keep scrolling, all the way to the bottom, because I...

As we re-enter this school year, does anyone else feel the unrelenting black cloud of you know what?! Yep, we are going to talk about it. Covid. 

I didn’t want to bring it up here, because I'm sure you are TIRED of seeing it everywhere, but after having a personal experience with it in our home, I need to put this out there. 

It has become VERY apparent to me that our children have been bearing this burden much deeper than we may understand. They may not FULLY comprehend what or why we have to distance.

I think of the talent it takes for people to juggle pins or flames and what is the one thing they have to do? The ONE thing...FOCUS. They do not allow themselves to...

To get a phone or not to get a phone...that is the question. 

Has your child asked for a phone for Christmas this year? How old is your child? And are you getting him/her one? Are you on the fence?

We wrestled with this for a LONG time as we watched our oldest son's friends get phones...and we waited. He BEGGED...and we waited.
