Do you find yourself “walking on eggshells” with someone in your life? I did not grow up in this environment so it is, honestly, the hardest environment for me to thrive in. There were no hidden landmines. They were right out in the open and everyone knew how eachother felt. That came with other things […]

I have been studying the top stress dynamics for families as my husband and I prepare for our parenting MOBgroup we will be doing this summer in our church. (MOBtown is slang for Mobile, where we live.) Thought I’d share some of it with you today… When Trust Feels Broken What it looks like: What’s […]
