 The Christian Parenting Handbook:  
"Insightful, Practical, Encouraging and, as always, focused on reaching a child's heart rather than merely changing behavior. An "aha" book that provides real life help—help for everyday situations. Parents will keep this Handbook handy!" 

—Karl Bastian, the Kidologist, founder and president of Kidology.org

"A must read for all parents no matter what faith or stage of life. This book is chocked full of practical strategies you can implement today! Having four teenagers, our house can feel quite chaotic. We are starting with the golden nuggets in chapter 15 right away." 

—Eric and Jennifer Garcia, Association of Marriage & Family Ministries

Our testimony: 

We love the Lord and are seeking to instill, in our family, a foundation of faith based on godly principals. We are also a family with three little boys. There is a whole lotta testosterone in our family unit. Even in a home where love comes first and where they are taught about Jesus daily, there are many challenges in raising our boys to be strong men of courage and men of faith. 

Let me put it this way; boys fight. They aren't allowed to fight with each other, but even on our very best days - there comes a moment (at least one) where we have to go through the process of settling an issue between 2 or 3 of our boys. 

Certainly, we impose rules which include specific consequences for their choices. We try to be consistent with loving discipline - all the things that seem to make sense. Often times, we can deter an unpleasant situation with just a reminder of those consequences. 

In this fallen world, that is about the best we can hope for - right? 

Wrong. God is using The Christian Parenting Handbook to remind me, once again (sometimes I am a painfully slow learner) that their behavior isn't near as important as what is going on in their hearts. Although we start every day with the Lord, although they are learning the Word and hearing about what God wants from them - I negate the importance of that when I turn around and discipline based on a reward/punish type of mentality. If we can stick to the "heart of the matter", good behavior on their part will be an outcropping of that process. 

In our 12+ years of marriage, we have settled many an argument or decision, based on a "what does God want from me in this situation" approach. Why then is it so difficult to remember that this is the critical approach which needs to be taken with our brawling boys?

 I don't know. Human nature, I suppose. But truth is truth, and these principles are truth. They can change your life. They are changing ours (always a work in progress around here).

 I am honored to be a part of this launch team and excited to present you with this wonderful opportunity.

Our experience: 

I was impressed when the box arrived. Quality packaging with clear instructions promised we were in for a good experience with our new EEME project. Everything we needed was there. We had a battery box, a bread board, resistors, and LED light, wires, and sensor. 

The boys were excited; I began to panic. 

I don't do wires. My kids still have to program the remote and help when I go from Netflix to, well, anything. Electronics have pretty much baffled me from the get-go.

 I logged into the web site and was relieved to find a series of videos to talk us through the project. EEME's hands - on projects are paired with online curricula to guide the kids in assembling the project and also to teach the concepts applied. 

One after the other, the boys watched the simple, easy to follow instructions on the screen and didn't have any trouble following along and putting the Genius Light together.

 My 11 year old understood every part of it and needed no assistance in building his light box kit. The 7 and 8 year olds understood MOST of the videos. With a little review, and a minimal amount of help, they were able to grasp the electronic concepts. 

They have a love for robotics, so this was the perfect educational kit for them and  is a terrific STEM project. 

The online curricula provided clear cut explanation of the basics in electronics. The way the videos are set up, it is easy to stop and review the concepts. (OK, I was the only one who needed that, but I was glad it was available for those like me, who are not electronically inclined) Moms, this is one electronic experience you need not fear. If I can do it, anyone can. 

Upon completion my oldest proclaimed, "It WORKS. I'm officially a gadget geek!" 

They were all proud of their accomplishment and excited to share it with daddy, who was also thoroughly impressed with the Project Genius Light. 

Making learning fun is the best way to inspire your children,

 and EEME certainly does that, with finesse! 

Great for ages 7 and up - $50 value 

Now, I have good news, better news and the best news!

Simply elegant Lilla Rose Giveaway and SALE from Paula Miller

Visit Paula Miller's Lila Rose shop to order yours! 

So, I'm not so great evidently at holding a mirror and a camera steady while I 

get a descent shot of the back of my head - BUT - the clip IS GREAT: 

One of my goals for the new year is to "pull" myself together - more often - at home. I do make an effort to throw on some lipstick each day and brighten myself up to teach the boys - BUT - most days my hair gets pulled into a pony tail with a rubber band. Most. days. 

Now, I have this cute little clip and just as quickly as I can brush my hair and pull it into a pony - I can twist it and clip it with the Lilla Rose clip! #Togetherin10 is simpler than ever

Dayspring Tote! A beauty of it's own

I was thrilled when I opened the box from Dayspring this week - Just look at what I found:

 "Perfect in beauty, God shines forth." Psalm 50:2

As you can see the inscription backs this up - God gives every day a beauty of its own! 

I love the reminder to look for the beauty in each and every day. So often we get bogged down by life's stress and forget to slow down enough to find the beauty He's provided for us. 

It may come in the way the light streams through a front window in the morning, or the way a sleepy child greets you with pure love from a dreamlike sleep. Sometimes the beauty is obvious - like in the case of a brilliant sunset. Other times you'll find it hidden on the back side of a simple garden weed. But it is there.

 It is the touch of the Master's hand on the natural world around us - and if we will just stop long enough - 

we can soak up a bit of that perfect beauty to carry it with us throughout the day. 

I love this sweet reminder - in the form of a tote bag from Dayspring.

There is a sale right now - for the whole month of June. Buy 2 totes from Dayspring and get a 3rd FREE!
They range in price from $29.99 - just $3.99 and materials range from oil cloth to jute or canvas.

Buy 2 Totes Get 1 Free

As you can see from my pictures - the inside is lined - I love the polka dots and the pockets will help keep me organized. The sides of this particular bag is decorated with a zebra stripe print.

Dayspring is known for taking pride in the quality of their workmanship and this one does not disappoint!
