Friday Fun for Moms

Well, it's Friday!  And although a mother's work is never done, it is okay to take a little break, unwind and usher in the weekend with a little fun.  This song is dedicated to the hardest working people on the planet - MOMS!

New Strategy for Getting Kids to Help with Chores

Here is a hilarious, and probably even effective approach for getting your kids to do what you ask of them (i.e. clean their room, take out the trash, pick up their toys).

Have a Momnificent! Weekend!

Overwhelmed with Gratitude

This morning I was making the long trek to Barrington, Illinois to speak to a group of 60 moms on the eight essential ingredients of living a magnificent life.  As I was driving, one of my favorite songs came on the radio.  Of course, I always have to sing.  I began to belt out the words to this song, and what came out was choked up words as I was hit with an overwhelming gratitude for my life and what I get to do.  There is no greater passion than knowing you are living your life on purpose, doing the work you were called to do.  I began to think about the opportunity that laid ahead of me.  Would my message be heard?  Would I make a difference in the life of a mom?  Would my life lessons be able to help another mom?  When you speak in public, you always run the risk of being loved, or of being judged for who you are and the ideas you have to share.  But as I reflected on this song, I was reminded that it didn't matter because I was loved - loved by the most powerful Being in the Universe - God.  I thought I would share the song I was listening to - the song that fills me with gratitude every time I listen to it.  I hope, you too, will be blessed and know that you are loved!
