Swimming Pool

Remember the do-over? That recess maneuver designed to ensure a second chance after an errant pass in dodge ball or a missed badminton serve.

My childhood do-overs had long faded from memory, but a couple of summers ago, we received a parental one. Thankfully our family's do-over occurred before we ever knew we needed one.

You Deserve a Break Today

Written by Brenda Nixon

alt Remember the lyrics of that McDonald's 70's jingle; "You deserve a break today, so get up and get away to McDonald's"? Well, if you're feeling more overwhelmed, impatient, snappy, or sick & tired of your kids maybe you need a break today.

"But how can I get a break from my 24/7 job, Brenda?"

Avoiding Meltdowns

Written by Megan

alt If you are the mom of small children, you've been there. The waiting room, the checkout lane, the dressing room, the restaurant. Really just about anywhere will do.

The natives get restless, tempers flares, tears roll, the noise level increases and one more incident is added to the list of embarrassing moments.

God Bless America

This article was written in 2004 after we had traveled internationally on several occasions including two trips to Russia to adopt our son, Kolya. I believe it reminds us of all we have celebrate on the 4^th of July!

This was a year of international travel for me. For someone who doesn’t like to fly, that means it was also a year of faith!

Verse of the Day

Mom Encouragement

Cook multiple meals at one time. If you make lasagna, don’t just make one pan – make two, three, or even four pans. Then freeze the extra pans for meals later in the month.
