Thankful Thursdays ~ A Thankful and Grateful Heart
It’s hard to believe that sometimes we struggle with having a thankful heart, but let’s be honest, sometimes it can difficult. It’s hard when our taxes are due, children are sick, bills must be paid, parents die to soon, and relationships fall apart right before our eyes. Sometimes the last straw is when the car break down. Those issues can affect our attitude and how we feel. It can affect how we view the world around us as a whole. Focusing our attention on all the blessings in our lives...
Read MoreTeen Talk Tuesday ~ Be What You Want To Be
If you want to be treated like an adult you have to act like an adult. This is a statement we often say around the Winters house. That statement was said by a dear friend and counselor we know and needless to say, I love it. But think about it, how true is this statement, not only for tweens and teens striving to become independent but frankly for all of us. In order to gain independence and trust we have to demonstrate that we are independent and trustworthy. That is a fact of life no matter our age. So I...
Read MoreTeen Talk Tuesdays ~ No PJ’s in Public
Pajamas … Yes, today were talking PJ’s Pajamas in public are not ever okay. Teens: I just want to remind you that pajamas were never made to be worn in public no matter what your friends say, do or even what your moms do. Often when I am shopping I see women and teens stroll past me in their pajama pants, fuzzy slippers or Uggs! And all I can think is “Ugg!” I always do a double take and I can still never believe my eyes. A series of thoughts run through my mind, Are you kidding...
Read MoreMonday With MOMs: Making Our Mark ~ Life Giving Words
Motherhood can be a very crazy time in a woman’s life. I’m not saying that crazy isn’t good but sometimes we can get a bit worn down as moms with all the responsibilities we have. Mom means many things as we all know… everything from doctor, to chauffeur, to cook, to psychologist, to teacher, to even lifeguard to everything in between. MOMs must rise to the occasion and wear whatever hat is necessary at the time. But another important job MOMs and dads have is that of an...
Read MoreTeen Tuesdays ~ Poor Timing? Maybe “But Maybe Not…
Recently, the middle SON decided he wanted to rearrange his room. He had just re~arranged it about 6 months earlier. But he wanted just the right look, and I can understand it. That first time when the Middle SON wanted to rearrange his room it seemed impossible to achieve with the amount of furniture he had. Sadly, I blurted out, “that will not work” and before I knew it, the damage was done. Obviously, it was not the most supportive moment I have had. The Middle SON gave me the whole, “You...
Read MoreMondays With Moms ~ M.O.M.s: Making Our Mark
I often hear MOMs say, “I have no time for myself,” and that they say, “I focus all my energy and attention on my kids” and “I just never take the time for what I need for myself.” Sometimes they are proud of this statement and sometimes they aren’t. Frankly, some women no longer know what they really need anymore. So in turn MOMs put their own needs on the back burner and are on the treadmill of life and Motherhood. MOMs must make time for themselves. It is great...
