When a Child Corrects You: Accountability, Respect, and Grace Recently, a child corrected me. I work with kids for a living so this is not a new thing for me. As the old saying goes " Kids say the darn'est things". But then after this initial incident my own kid corrected an adult and I [...]
The kids are home! Summer is Here! With that in mind, I've created a list of questions, I like to use to get to know someone on a deeper level. This is the times when you have a sunny porch and lemonade. Or a hammock and an afternoon. Maybe it is windshield time on the [...]
This seems basic. I mean how often something should be cleaned is how often does it gets dirty, right? Seems simple enough however where you live and what you do and how you run all take into account in this. Someone who never cooks might not need to scrub the oven, ever. Someone who lives [...]
I am a high expectation, type A, first born. If you have followed this blog for any kind of a season you know this. I like order, lists, goals, and a plan at all times. This is great! It keeps everyone on target. And for the most part it's what I recommend for a high [...]
