Warm weather is here! I love taking advantage of the California sun. Long days by the pool with the boys is the best. On our trip to Hawaii B loved hanging out in the pool and wading in the ocean waves, but he wouldn’t swim. It’s not that he COULDN’T swim, he had swimming lessons 2 […]

Patrick Peterson Gets Tough Love
I recently talked about how I withheld Mo from a weekend of soccer due to unacceptable grades. I got mixed feedback for doing this. Some parents thought I was being over the top for disciplining my 8 year old, while others said they understood. When I heard Patrick Peterson’s story, it made me smile. Former […]

Growing up good grades weren’t rewarded, they were expected. As a mom now, I feel the same.

Don’t Test Me
Kids are constantly testing their boundaries. When they test their boundaries, that usually equates to testing our patience. Sometimes it ends in a lose/lose battle.
