My Mom Made Me Organized

I honestly do NOT believe for one minute that I was born organized.  No way!  I believe however, that my mom provoked that organizational bone in my body to be more active.  She is after all a very organized person.  Everything is in its place and she knows where that is.  She plans things out ahead of time, when my dad will allow and she has her act together. Now, as a child I was not organized.  In fact, I {Read More}

Who Is Her Role Model?

Today’s girls truly have a different view of what is ordinary.  They are bombarded with tv, movies, and the Internet giving them a much different view point than most of us had at their age.  Young girls think that “normal” is being like Hannah Montana, when she isn’t even real anyway.  I’m not slamming Hannah Montana, but let’s face it she is really Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana is a character on a television show, but so many of our young {Read More}

Praying Together

This weekend I spoke at a couple of Mother / Daughter Teas.  At each of the events I had the moms and their daughters at the end of our time together join hands and pray together.  I asked the moms to pray for their daughters, then, I asked the daughters to pray for their moms. When this idea first came out of my mouth, as I was telling them what we were about to do I have a few strange {Read More}

Being a Woman of Influence

What would happen if you decided to intentionally be a woman of influence?  I am currently reading Carol Kent’s Becoming a Woman of Influence which has gotten me to thinking a great deal about my influence on those around me, not only my daughter but other young women as well. We have all been influenced by others in our lives, I’m sure there is someone in your life that you can recall who has particularly influenced you, whether in a {Read More}

Movie Night for the Girls

Spending time with your daughter is one of the best things that you can give  her.  Think about it, your time is your most valued and most precious commodity, therefore why not show your daughter how much you care about her by giving her some of that most precious commodity?  Your time. One of the ways you might choose to spend some time with your daughter and have fun too would be by having a “movie night” just for you {Read More}

Blogs are truly HOT right now from mom blogs to niche blogs, from cooking blogs to review blogs they are all over the place and you can truly find one on virtually any topic. However, above all at least in the mom blogging community I notice that blogs are a great way of doing one thing, connecting.  So, why {Read More}

Choosing the Right After School Activities for Your Daughter

Choices, choices, choices, as moms our lives are full of choices.  Our daughter’s lives are full of them as well, and it is important that you help her to make wise choices even in the little things like choosing her after school activities.  What happens after school is equally as important as what takes place during the school day. It’s important that you and your daughter choose the right after school activities.  Obviously as the parent, you’ll be the one {Read More}

Passing It On

There are many things in our lives that we pass on to others.  You may have traditions in your family that are passed down from generation to generation.  How you celebrate certain holidays, the way that you allow the birthday boy or girl to choose what’s for dinner on their birthday, celebrating all the birthdays in a given month together as a family, whatever the case may be. Then there may be other things that you pass on, clothes are {Read More}

A Need to Communicate

ear

This past weekend I did a Mother/Daughter Event for a group of ladies and their daughters at a church about 70 miles from my home. I have done many of these events over the last 3 or 4 years. However, something happened at this event that has never happened to me before. One of the teenage girls actually got up and left. Luckily, I had figured out she was already upset with her mother, not me so I did not {Read More}
