Yesterday I had the privilege of accompanying a friend of mine to the Virginia Baptist Resource Center in Richmond to deliver medical supplies our church family had donated to the relief effort in Haiti.

Sexting: Harmless Fun or Serious Issue?
Welcome to the first edition of Teen/Tween Thursday where each week I will be tackling an important issue facing our kids. I am a mom of 12 and 13 year old boys, a 16 year old (bonus) son and a 15 year old sister. I was a teen mom so I am fairly young (31)…

Of boys and learners permits
Image via Wikipedia I’m not ready for this. That is what I was thinking as I sat in my (bonus) son’s MDT (multi-disciplinary meeting) yesterday. The collective decision (which I agree with, I just don’t like) was made that he can get his learner’s permit next month. My boy is going to drive. I’m not…
Understanding Tweens…is it possible?
Image by hyperboreal via Flickr I am an all or nothing kind of gal. The upside: I am fiercely loyal, totally committed and extremely stubborn determined. The downside: I am extremely determined stubborn, a tad perfectionistic and a smidge moody I was on the downside of my personality lately. Parenting 12 and 13 year olds…
