I could write one thousand articles about parent guilt. The topic is wide and ever present in the minds of most parents. It’s the underlying dread that maybe you’re not a good enough parent. Maybe other parents have it together and you don’t. Maybe we’ve all got it figured out and you’re the…
You love your baby. You might even be surprised by how deeply you love her. In fact, there is a good chance this past year redefined how you think about love entirely. But if you want your child to grow up knowing you love her, you will have to prove it over time. Every…

I got down on my knees in front of her, her eyes locked on mine in anticipation of what I was about to say. She didn’t know what was coming—after all, it was children’s church and I had singled her out in front of everyone. There was a hint of trepidation in her anticipation as…
There was a father-son conversation that several times left me scratching my adolescent head. I kept coming back to my dad’s words over the course of my teenage years for the simple reason that they were so contrary to my own teenage reality. I was so baffled by it all that I think I brought…
Being a great mom is SO easy. You just have to play Barbies with your kids all day long. Maybe sometimes take a break to play Candyland. Chores are so unnecessary!! These were actual thoughts I remember having as a child. My mom was a good mom, but my idea of a great mom was…
