Day 6 Challenge- It's the weekend! Have some fun!

One of my FAVORITE Things to do with the kids is having a dance party! If you've never tried it, you have to.  For at least 10 minutes.

The kids think it's hilarious, and who else can you be so uninhibited in front of?

I put on some Christian Rock, or 90's music.  The kids think I'm goofy but they totally get into it and burn as much energy as I do.

Here are some fun ones to try out tomorrow:

Turn it up loud, get your dancin shoes on, and teach your kids how to have a good time and burn some calories :-)

Letting Them Fail

Image
365 days ago, Caleb walked out of Louisville with a 1st place Showmanship ribbon in his hands and a smile the size of Texas. Since that day, he has had his heart set on winning showmanship at NAILE again. Before show season even started, he hand picked the most docile lamb in our pens and named her. He worked all summer with Sophia. With the thousands of inches of rain this summer, when most eight year old kids were in front of a screen, he was in the barn in front of a mirror with Sophia. When it was 98 degrees, and other kids were at the pool, he was outside with Sophia. Mid October, when it was freezing, he was bundled up with Sophia, practicing getting her legs set just right. If there is a kid that worked for that win this year, it's him. After all of those months of dedication, he was so excited when it was finally show time last weekend, no one more confident than him. When he came out of that ring, with a third place ribbon in his han...

Judgement and Parenting

I've been writing this blog over and over in my head since Monday (the day of K's psychiatric appointment) but it's so... emotional, touchy, embarassing.... that I struggle with how to put it into words....especially without offending anyone. But, I think it's important enough to write about regardless of all of that. I've made a lot of judgements about people in the course of my christian life (a relatively short period of time, but still, somehow the judgements have really piled up!)  Especially in regards to parenting. What other moms are doing right, what other moms are doing wrong. Big decisions, small decisions, for whatever reason, I would like to think that I know best. And when people do it differently....well, usually that means that their way is wrong. I hate to admit this, it makes me sound terrible... but I hope that most of us can admit that we've all done it. A few examples so that this posting is more clear: Crying it out, Organic vs. non org...

Living Within Our Means

We have an accepted offer on a house!  I don't want to prematurely get excited, so I'm waiting until a few more things fall into place before getting started on packing :-)  But, it has me thinking about our finances and standard of living. My dad has always taught me the importance of living within my means. As a child, and a teenager, this was preached often, though it mattered very little to me at the time. My dad's means were relatively large, my needs were relatively small. We had a nice house, in a nice neighborhood, I attended private schools. When it came time for my license, we purchased a nice little car. We had cell phones, vacations, computers. College education was provided to me by my dad, I had a nice wedding that didn't require a loan.... Financing was rarely necessary for things. I don't say this bragging (obviously) since I had worked for exactly 0 of what I was "earning", but my dad managed to always balance home life, work life, fin...
