Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I’m 20 weeks along in my pregnancy and it feels like my baby is nocturnal. We’re half way there! My baby is about the size of a banana (maybe a little longer). I’ve gained just under 10 pounds, but I feel a lot heavier. Similar to my first pregnancy, this baby is nocturnal and loves…
You’ve heard the saying, “open the windows and let in some fresh air.” But would you let your kids sleep outside for an afternoon nap in frigid temperatures?

I’m sure a lot of you parents out there can relate to sick children. It’s even worse when they’re babies. They can’t vocalize their pain. My Princess has been sick with a bad chest cold for a few days now and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. The worse part is that she…
This weekend may have started out gloomy, but I must say it ended on a great note. I’m not just referring to the outdoors. My little Princess was feeling a little under the weather. I was worried because her baptism was scheduled for Sunday. We also had a few hang ups along the way, but…
