The Facebook Motherhood Challenge

Posted on by

A Motherhood Challenge was going around Facebook in early February of 2016. It is entirely possible that it is still making the rounds (as these types of challenges tend to do). What may have been originally intended as a simple way to honor motherhood has run into a lot of controversy. The Facebook Motherhood Challenge had simple rules. A mom was to post five photos that represent their journey as a mother. The idea was to focus on the moments that brought joy. Next, the mom must tag five other mothers, who must do the challenge, too. On the positive … Continue reading →

Your Tween May be Posting Personal Information on Instagram

Instagram is a popular social media website that is primarily about photos. People post selfies, photos of what they had for dinner, vacation photos, and whatever else they want to share online. What many parents don’t realize is that teens and tweens are sharing a lot more than photos on Instagram! The terms of service at Instagram state: “You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service”. It is possible for a teenager to simply make their own Instagram account without asking their parent for permission to do so first. Some parents will make an Instagram account … Continue reading →

Evaluating Your Self Worth

Do you constantly focus on your weight, appearance or ability to perform in a negative manner?

Do Men Let Go More Easily?

Two little boys are out playing in the sandbox. One steals the other’s toy car. The wronged child hauls off and slugs the thief, and they tussle until their energy is spent. Two minutes later, they’re happily playing again, the confrontation resolved and forgotten. Two little girls both wear the same style of shirt to school. Each thought she’d look unique, and they are both upset that they match, but instead, they compliment each other and laugh. But during lunch, one “accidentally” spills her drink on the other girl, drenching her shirt. These two scenarios are completely made up, and … Continue reading →

Sharing Space in Your House

We often think of the home as being the woman’s domain. It’s generally the woman who chooses the furniture and carpet, selects the wall decor, and hangs the drapes. When someone comes to the home and admires the atmosphere, it’s the woman who receives the compliment. But is there equal space for the man to keep his things, as well? Or is the balance a little bit off? In some homes, the husband has taken over every closet, cupboard, the garage, and a spare room, leaving just one or two corners for the wife. This is off-kilter as well. It’s … Continue reading →

Ten Things You Can Do For Your Pregnant Wife

Posted on by

1. Paint her toes. Just because she can’t reach them, or see them, doesn’t mean she doesn’t want them to look nice. Score bonus points by throwing in a foot rub. 2. Vacuum the floors. Vacuuming never seemed like a difficult chore before, but strap 20-30 pounds to the front of your chest and then try it. The occasional dip to pick up something too big for the vacuum cleaner is what really turns a simple task into backbreaking work. 3. Tell her she looks beautiful until she believes you. Praise every curve on her body. Pregnant women tend to … Continue reading →
