Let me be transparent here — I'm not obsessed with social media. I'd much prefer my social interactions to be face to face. Having said that, I do write a blog and I like Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends, near and far. I'm a Facebook creeper. Two of...
Life Lessons
Living in the Moment
In high school, we had to take a survey that asked, “When will you be living your best life?” Childhood, high school, college, adult or retirement? But why is life broken down by stages? Wouldn’t it be better to live in the moment?
Am I a Wisher, Talker, or Doer?
About a month ago, I listened to nationally known motivational speaker Mike Smith, who discussed the difference between wishing, talking and doing. In my mind, I had always thought of myself as a doer. However, reality hit me during the presentation—I am a wisher and talker.
We Learn From Our Failures, Not Our Successes
Failure. A word most of us cringe at and try to avoid. Who wants to fail? Normally, I would believe many of us are not actively seeking to fail. However, I have come to realize that failure is an integral part of the learning/growing process.
We Don’t Know What Lies Ahead
This past weekend, my husband and I traveled to Dallas, Texas to join in the baptism celebration of our new grandniece. As always, the visit to Dallas was too short but filled with laughter and lots of love for family.
Lessons from the Passenger’s Seat
Our daughter recently got her school learner’s permit, and on these beautiful Nebraska days, she wants to learn to drive. I have spent three days in the passenger’s seat as she practices driving for one to two hours at a time.
The Dangers of Parenting Comparisons
When I had my first baby, many of my friends were also having their first children. We were all new parents together watching our kids roll over for the first time, take first steps and say first words.
Grow Thanks
“Tink you, Gramma!” says my two-year-old grandson, Benson. Hearing that just warms my heart! It’s so gratifying to know that my children are teaching their children not only good manners, but to be thankful.
Making a Positive Impact on Your Child
One moment we’re in the NICU, and in the next moment, Izabella is two-years-old. Now, I’m finding that all the statements fellow parents told me about motherhood going by in the blink of an eye are absolutely true!
More Things We Should Say to Our Kids
I have seen articles and lists created by parenting and family experts of specific things parents should say to their children. Things like, “I’m sorry” and “I believe in you” or “I’m proud of you.” I agree wholeheartedly.
Letting Your Kids Fail
If I were able to choose success or failure for my kids, I would obviously choose success. But, a few weeks ago I had to choose failure. And it was so hard.
