I think it's easy for grown-ups to think that children will get along because all they are doing is playing, but we all know that each child has her own personality, triggers, and quirks.

The I Factor focuses on building a positive relationship with yourself in order to be successful in whatever it is you are called to do.  The book does have a biblical perspective and relates key aspects to stories in the Bible.

If you've been a parent for any amount of time, you may have come to the conclusion that parenting can be tough.  For some these moments of toughness aren't as frequent while for others parenting may be a constant battle.  No matter which camp you fall into it's easy to feel alone on the parenting journey even when there are millions of other parents. 

Doing new things with my family is on the top of my priority and goals list.  Monster Jam was one of those new things. Last month, we won tickets from the UnboxedMom to attend our first Monster Jam event.  At first I didn't know what to expect and neither did the girls.

The girls aren't toddlers anymore, but they both still need for me to engage with them over something other than math.
