I love birthdays, holidays, and Christmas…not just the presents, but yah… especially the presents! I remember opening my birthday gifts a year ago and drifting into a blah mood. I said, “Thanks,” but my feelings sagged. Nothing I opened was making me happy. I had ...

By Gil and Brenda Stuart with Restored and Remarried Instant family, everyone will love each other and everyone will be happy are just a few of the unrealistic expectations and part of the blended family adventure. Any great adventure may have its twists and turns and challenges...

I was with a group of friends talking about Christmas memories… family traditions and gatherings… the sights and smells of home and childhood…. I was halted by the comment of one who said he had no happy memories of Christmas! I wa...

Great post. I know exactly how dissappointing christmas can be as a child. But God can restore a broken past! and now I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, and loving family members to share the season with.
We can't change our past but we can create a beautiful future.

It’s true what they say — the older you get, the faster time flies! I turned 50 this year, and 2009 went by quicker than I could imagine. Pr...

First of all relax; I’m not going to ask you to sing or deal with “Partridges in a Pear-tree”. What I am going to do is lay out a list of no-cost gifts you can give your spouse that will definitely “light up” your Christmas season. Historic...

There are mixed messages from top economists on what holiday spending will look like this year. The stock market is uncertain. Consumer confidence is down. Unemployment is close to 10%. Gas prices are close to $3 a gallon. But one thing is certain, Christmas will fall on December 25th...

Toddlers are egocentric! Still, children as young as 15-18 months can begin to grasp concepts that lead to gratitude. By age 2 or 3, children can talk about being thankful for specific objects, pets, and people...

Imagine with me for a moment. You’re home, it has already been a long day, you still have dinner to make, and chores to do, and the kids are after your attention. ...

The two biggest tips I have as a (99.9%) tv-free family:

1 - have the TV somewhere far away. If it's in the main area of the house, it'll be a temptation. It will also be a focal point of the room!

2 - It sounds weird, but if you NEVER use the TV, then you figure out how our grandparents did everything. I've showered, cleaned, cooked, baked, gone through the mail, and more, never relying on TV. Ever.... See More

When kids have NEVER had a television, they don't know any better, and they entertain themselves or just hang out while dinner is being made. The anghst I believe comes mostly from an expectation they have that is not being met. They have to unlearn one thing and learn a new skill (self-play) while you as a parent are frazzled and tempted by TV. That is asking a lot of parents AND kids.

Tricia Ann Foster Ryan's almost two. All we did today, was take a walk in a Snohomish County Wild life reserve, and saw white geese, one fish, one white and grey hawk. The only thing Ryan seemed to like today, was the one fishermans boat that zoomed by us on the Snohomish River.

Standing in a cold creek bed with numb feet, I learned that the relationship between my teenage sons and me depends more on acceptance and availability than rules and authority. Several years ago I heard one of my four boys using a four-letter word while playing ball with neighbors in the backyard...
