As we prepare for t he imminent weat her changes, now is a t ime t o get a foot ing or hold on t he mont hs ahead. In realit y, I know if your like most parent s, myself included, you're t aking t he last few weeks in August , or t he first week in Sept ember (when ever your child's school dist rict resumes) t o just really enjoy some mommy or daddy t ime. Or, just a few hours of rest and silence. And even t hough your probably periodically t hinking about your children t hroughout t he course of your day (For example: Are t hey okay, is he/she having a good day?) st ill t aking full advant age of t he full school day, as you should (laugh). But in all seriousness, we love our kid's!! In fact , t he kid's are t he reason we exist ! As a publicat ion, we are here t o encourage you, uplift you and inspire you (t he parent s), your kid's, and hopefully provide wisdom, guidance, and a road map for you your kids, and your family not only in a "real-life" and "relevant " way, but also in a Godly and Biblical one. W it h t hat said, pay close at t ent ion t o a few of our sect ions t his mont h.
