Family Strong Project

Can we just be honest for a moment?  It is really hard to go through summer without screens becoming the main event. 

Sometimes, I totally give in and I turn them over to the digital babysitter a.k.a. any electronic device that will hold their attention so I can get my work done.

So how do we make it all work?  How do we teach our children self control in a way that they not only understand but can be kind of fun. 

Women of the world today are so strong, and yet on the verge of self-destruction because we are looking inward, not upward. It is getting painful and exhausting. We are taking on roles that were never intended for us. I don’t think it is what God intended for us, and I for one don’t want to question Him. So what do we do?...

When I think about the world our boys are growing up in, and how I want to raise them, I think about the challenges they will face. How will I prepare them to be strong and brave; to stand up for who they are no matter what? To treat women with respect, but also receive respect as the heads of their home... 

Have you ever been to a circus? Do you read that question and feel like you are running a circus at home? I do! Lol!

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...

Spend time with things that love you back.

This is the phrase, this is the secret sauce, this is what helps us navigate parenting in a digital world. 

Do you feel like screens have literally taken over this year? In the most wonderful way and yet the most overwhelming way, screens are a part of our everyday lives. 

In our home, we have been using the phrase...

This last week was interesting. We had my dad here for the first time since shut down for a "Quaran-cation"..... a vacation where he came down from...

When you think of having a firm foundation, what do you think of? Do you think of your faith? Your family? Your health? Your home? 

Here at Family Strong, we think of them all! And each of them take patience, grace, and hard work.

 

You know when the kids are yelling, the dog is barking, the dishes are piled up, and your husband asks you to do....one.more.thing? 🥴

Do you ever just take a deep breath and exhale 'overwhelm' and inhale what we call 'wonderful chaos?'
