This blog is intended to bless you as a parent. I will focus on some of the most common parenting obstacles and try to turn them into blessings for you. Discipline, schedules, breastfeeding, nighttime parenting, fostering and adoption, nutrition, homeschooling, and spiritual honesty will all be included. Treat these ideas like a buffet, taking what you like, and leaving the rest.

Our family is made up of my husband and I and our 6 blessings, 3 boys and 3 girls. We are a foster family and our children include birth and adopted children. We currently homeschool our children, though we did public school for many years. We love our extended family and that our children are blessed with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents who love them and want to share in their lives. Through adoption that extended family has grown to include birth families that we adore. We attend a church we love and they are like family to us as well. We believe in God, who loves us, saves us, provides for us, and guides us and we encourage our children to make their own personal spiritual decisions. Everyday we try to do a little better. That is all we can do. Lots of grace. Lots of patience. Lots of forgiveness. And a healthy dose of that for our children too!
