CHRISTMAS AND A BIRTHDAY

 My birthday is just three days before Christmas, and I got to spend it my favorite way, at home with my husband and three beautiful children! My husband is so good at gift giving (far better than I am), and this year he went above and beyond!

YOUR CHILD'S INNER VOICE

Being a parent is arguably the biggest responsibility one can ever have in life. How we parent our children, determines how they will view themselves, the world, and how they will one day parent their own children. That is why it is so important, not to damage them. It's crucial to provide plenty of encouragement and praise, while still guiding them on the principles of right and wrong.  

Supporting My Children Once They're Grown

This is a subject I have been giving a lot of thought on lately. When does a parent's financial obligation to their child/children end? At 18, any legal financial obligation ends, but isn't there a moral obligation that still exists? For some parents, no. For my husband and I, yes! A  parent's obligation to their child does not end when they turn 18, when they graduate college, or even when they get married and have children of their own. A parent's obligation to their child does not end until the day they die! Being a parent is a lifelong role.
