With all of the junk food available these days, we’re in a uphill battle with cavities. There are those kids who will get cavities no matter how diligent the child and parent are in taking care of their teeth, but it can and will be much worse if we, as parents, don’t teach our kids to take care of themselves and their teeth. (Munchkin was one of those kids that got cavities even though we were diligent with oral hygiene and diet.) Brushing Your Teeth: Ideally, kids should be brushing their teeth after each meal, but honestly, this isn’t realistic…

We love spending time together as a family.

Munchkin requested that she be allowed to stay at home, so she could complete her school work instead of riding along with me. Since I knew that I wouldn’t be gone long, I agreed to her request.

After everything was put away, I made her lunch, and she informed…
5 Lessons Every Kid Should Learn
Posted in Announcements, Commercial Break, and Family
Growing up, there are many life lessons that kids need to learn. It’s our job as parents to teach our children. Some of the lessons that I believe are most important are: 1. Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul. When we teach our kids to love the Lord, truly love the Lord, all other things start to fall into place. Life will not be perfect, but when the focus is on the Lord, life is just a little bit easier to handle. 2. Love others as you love yourself. When kids have a servant’s heart, they…
