Be Social Media Savvy
If you have children who are over the age of 12, chances are they know more about available apps then any of us ever will! Technology is moving rapidly, and really, what parent has the time or inclination to spend hours on social media? The thing is, we need to know some of the pitfalls associated with these social media platforms so we can help protect our kids from the many dangers that can lurk around the cyber corners.

Recently my son began a new medication which caused him some terrible side effects. We’ve been waiting to see a specialist, but in the mean time his pediatrician has tried her best to treat him. Ultimately we’ve had to stop this medicine all together, and just wait. I found myself praying to the Lord in the shower yesterday morning.

The only time I could actually be by myself and in perfect peace with [...] Read More

I have a challenge for you. Try not to crack a smile while dancing the Running Man in your socks on the living room floor.
See? It’s impossible.
And that’s why in our family, we’ve started having impromptu in-house dance parties – 45 minutes to an hour of completely free, heart-pumping movement [...] Read More
If you’re looking for a fun family movie this weekend, check out The Croods. Dreamworks has done a great job in displaying the importance of family in this prehistoric comedy.
The Croods is a 3D, animated adventure that follows the world’s first family as they embark on a journey of a lifetime when the cave that has always shielded them from danger is destroyed.
