Teaching Kids About Money
Today, I wanted to share some things we are doing to train our kids to be wise with money. First, people are more inclined to save money when they have dreams and goals for how that money will be used. We are already helping our 11, 8 and 6-year-old sons think about their long-term goals (like cars and college) and their longer-term goals (like buying... [Read more of this article]
The Man of My Dreams
When I was growing up, men were not highly regarded in my family. A series of dysfunctional relationships, some of which I will never know the depths of, led women in my family to choose disrespect over honor, “ruling” over submission, and competition over desiring the best for the men in their lives. I grew up longing for a man I... [Read more of this article]

There are several versions of the catechism available free online, including The Westminster Shorter Catechism, The Catechism for Young... [Read more of this article]

Valentine Dinner Party
Create drama and coziness for a Valentine dinner party this year. Pull in your wrought iron table from the deck (wooden or plastic will work well too). Position the table in the living room in front of the fireplace and drape with white sheets. I used three sheets to fully cover the table and cinched the sheets together at the bottom with a ribbon... [Read more of this article]
Family Valentine Dinner
Before we were married, I didn’t like Valentine’s Day all that much. It seemed like such a romantic thing, but if I didn’t have a date, I felt like I missed out. But then as a waitress I would watch couples come in, sit quietly, then look at anything except the person they came with. They wouldn’t talk to each other. They’d just sit...
