A few weeks ago my daughter played in the state 1A girls soccer quarterfinals. When I got home from work the night just before the game, I asked her if she had any big plans for one of her last games as a senior. She walked up to me with a big smile and , with confidence and conviction, said "No ...

Spending money in this cultural is at epidemic proportions. We spend thousands to make others think we have it all together.

This weekend was Home Coming for our kids. This one was particularly special to all of us because it's our daughter's senior year. The one thing that was really evident was how comfortable the group was with each other because of their years of being together. Friendships like these create stron...

Believe me when I say that heredity had nothing to do with my daughter's grades! She has worked hard to maintain her grades, even when she was in elementary school.

There was so much material, I needed to find some help, so I asked at school if anyone was interested...

After we have accomplished what we set out to do, he likes to go to lunch and visit. This might seem boring to some, but for me it is a great learning opportunity. Sitt...

When you think in negative terms, things don't work out as well as you would like, You should be impatient with negative people, because they can have an adverse impact on your thought process. I like to block out those people in my mind as fast as I can. That doesn't mean I don't listen to const...

I started the New Year by watching too much football. I noticed that the announcers, no matter what game I turned to were constantly making references to which coach had prepared the best game plan. As you start the New Year do you have your game plan in place? If not, now is the time to implemen...
