Let Them Do The Hard Things
Hey Boy Mama, Let them do the hard things. It’s hard to see our babies begin to grow and take on the world’s challenges. It’s hard to see them try and possibly fail. It’s hard to watch them work hard, strive, prepare, put in the time, and not know if it will pay off. Let me let you in on a little secret… It ALWAYS pays off. It pays off by watching the evolution of your boy into a man! Let your boys do the hard things. Let them do the hard things because soon, the hard things become the lessons. They become the very thing that taught them grit,…

Dear Fathers Of Daughters,
Dear Fathers of Daughters, Please stop saying you are going to greet your daughter’s date with a shotgun on the front porch when he arrives to pick her up. There I said it! This Boy Mama has had enough. There are numerous mothers out there who are raising up responsible and admirable men! Men who will and want to respect women like your daughter. Men who will greet you with a firm handshake and say “yes sir” or “no sir”. Men who will open a car door and pull out a chair. Men who have standards. Men who can recognize red flags in a relationship. Men who can discern between…

Quit Telling Your Kids “I Trust You”
I think we can all agree that parenting is challenging no matter the era, am I right!? But, I do think that raising kids today does have its unique set of challenges compared to our counterparts. According to Pew Research Center, sixty-six percent of U.S. parents would agree with me. As a mom of boys, I feel a tremendous responsibility to raise boys who are strong in their relationship with the Lord and God-fearing men of integrity. I know there is a mom of a daughter out there who will one day entrust her sweet girl in the care of my son. I pray that I make good use of…

When You Teach Your Son To Shake A Hand
When you teach your son to shake a hand… You are doing more than just teaching them to respect everyone they meet. You are doing more than teaching them how to break barriers and be a welcoming soul. It’s so much more than teaching them to have good sportsmanship after a favorable or unfavorable outcome. It’s even more than training them to make an excellent first impression on their future boss or more importantly their future father-in-law! When you teach your son to shake a hand you are doing more than just letting them know that politeness should be offered to everyone no matter their status. When you teach your…

22 Ways For A Mom to Bond With Teen Son
“Time Spent With The One’s You Love Is Never Wasted” As a mom to four boys (two of which are teens), I am constantly looking for ways to bond with my boys. It’s a little less natural for moms to connect with their sons than daughters simply because our likes and dislikes tend to be much different. The older my boys get the more this reality sets in. That is why finding ways to connect with my boys have had to be very intentional. Why It’s So Important According to Jones (2017) children who are spending more time with their families are less likely to have behavioral issues or participate…

As a homeschooling mom of four it always seems there are not enough hours in the day. Having a routine and a plan is essential for any productivity. I know some of you may already be feeling the knot in your stomach with the dread of planning because you are a “go with the flow” type of gal and if you’re honest, a scheduled life is not your thing…girl, I know how you feel. I am not a natural planner…it just wasn’t “my thing.” That is until I realized it NEEDED to be my thing! “An Hour Of Planning Can Save You 10 Hours of Doing.” Dale Carnegie Frustration became…

Mom On A Mission M.O.M.
Being a boy M.O.M. (Mom On a Mission) is hard work. Especially when we realize we are raising up the next generation of leaders. We M.O.M.s are literally shaping the future right inside our homes. We kiss the foreheads of the future CEOs. We tuck into bed every night the future political decision-makers. We make lunch for the future fathers and husbands who will withstand more pressure than this generation ever knew. That is not a task to take lightly. We have just a few fleeting years to help “train them up in the way they should go.” It’s easy to realize we have a big job to fill but…
