Granny's Guidance

Some days I felt like I spent all day trying to keep that kid from eating...

We all loved going to our Activity Days. They were once a month gathering for all the Homeschool families,

"We'd like a tall, pretty blonde. Please." "Danielle, your family is here!"

Using a bit of creativity and engaging them can make it fun for all of you, and you teach them life skills besides.

Suddenly, I found myself flat on my fanny with the roll hanging out of my mouth!

One night when we stopped to moved the tubes to different rows we found that the ditch had washed out...

Sometimes I felt like Daddy got to do all the fun stuff with the kids. They LOVED setting water with him. The loved feeding hay with him.

Create fun moments. Laugh together. Make memories -they last forever!

We didn't always get too much for Christmas, but this stocking was always out. I inherited it years ago.

Things don't always go as planned. Don't panic...and don't give up.

As a mommy it's easy to fall into the trap of too many words. I implore you to say what you mean and mean what you say.

Give yourself and your children grace. Nobody's perfect.

I'd encourage you consider what behaviors you expect from your kids, and make a corresponding list of consequences. Then, emotion won't get

Each child brings 'gifts' to their family, maybe hope, faith, peace, love, or joy, maybe enthusiasm. Look for those gifts. Write them down.

Sometimes mommies have to do the hard things, the things that push them mentally, spiritually, and even physically.

Enjoy the time you get with your littles - they grow all too soon.

When you have kids, you have to learn to roll with the punches.

Don't beat yourself up for not being perfect. Learn, make a new plan and move on.

Mommies have a huge responsibility. There will be days you just sit down and cry. But tending & training your children is so very important.
