We often take it for granted as parents that our kids know why we correct and discipline them.

Coping with the logical consequences of having children.

Fostering open and truthful conversations.

Saying and doing the right things for our kids to model.

One-on-one time with kids sets the stage for when they have something important that needs to be said, because they'll already know that it's safe to talk with you.

A laid-back Father's Day is a simple gift.

I believe in treating children the way you would want to be treated. Deal with the behaviour.

When there was a slight hope that we could save our Hammy, I took it, and ended up paying A LOT of money at the vets.
 

 A family that extends beyond blood and is circled in love.

Coparentplanner is an online scheduling tool for parents who share custody of their children.

Agreeing on rules and forming a united front makes for good parenting.

Let's be better parents by doing the small things we already know.

Twice this past week I had the proud experience of catching my children lending a helping hand. 

Children try on various roles with no regard for gender and parents need to accept and accommodate them.

A good reminder to me of how lucky I am to have two other parents in the house.
