How to Discipline Your Child
Last week, I had the opportunity to go to a Mommy’s Drop-In with my church and hear a seasoned mother speak on discipline.

Sorry Candace Cameron Bure
I Am Sorry Candace Cameron Bure Why do I say “I Am Sorry Candace Cameron?” Because Christians eat their own alive. When I say “Christians,” I am speaking to those who say they are Christians, but who are judging others and being hypocritical with their actions. Did God say to his followers, “Judge others, because you are so absolutely perfect?” Or did God say, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce …Read More »

Fertility Health Check – How healthy are you?
As I have studied and explored the world of fertility health, one thing I have realized is that many women have no idea what factors in their lives could impact their fertility. Many times when we realize that we are having fertility difficulties, we run to the doctor to be officially diagnosed as “infertile.” What if before the two year point, women had the opportunity to take an objective look at their fertility health and begin to intentionally make …Read More »

Healthy Weight: What is it and how do I maintain it
We live in a society where mixed images of people fill our mind. We see stick figures parading around in fashionable clothes on a runway as the ideal mobile hanger for fashion.

We have people who are pear shaped, apple shaped, larger shouldered people, and people with medical problems. In the light of all of these shapes …Read More »

The Unsettled Mom
Settling. What an interesting word, right? Settling down, to settle, unsettling, or settling up. As American’s we are even familiar with the term “settler”; the American pioneers who settled in the land west of the original colonies. The original German work setle was literally a place to sit, a seat. Yet with all these perfectly adequate definitions of the word settle, we have a definite malaise when we think of someone settling for something. Such …Read More »

Our Common Thread Every woman over the age of 14 has something in common. We all have monthly cycles.

No Veggies for Me: Guide to Children and Vegetables
As a health coach for families and mothers, I hear one common problem that appears in most families and at most dinner tables. Aversion to vegetables. “No Mommy!!! I won’t eat my ________!!!” Fill-in-the-blank with your choice of vegetable. It’s always the vegetables, rarely the mashed potatoes, the macaroni and cheese, or the cookie. If it is colorful and vibrant in flavor naturally, an alarm goes of in their little brains with a warning, “WARNING: …Read More »
