Welcome to Adventures In Parenting

where we talk about raising good kids.

In today’s culture, there are just too many ways our kids can be led astray. I am not just talking about drugs and gangs. Kids can fall victim to self-indulgence, greed, promiscuity, apathy, lack of moral character - old character flaws now portrayed as "normal" in today's culture. Is that what we want for our kids?

We want to raise the bar of expectations. With God's help, we want to raise our children with compassion, integrity, and character. That’s what this website is about.

A 10-minute breather each day

October 28th, 2008 / 4 Comments

I was the featured guest post on Moms Talk Network yesterday on the topic of “10 Ways to Rejuvenate in 10 Minutes a Day.” I give some practical ideas that have worked for me, that would help a busy mom gain back some “perspective” in the midst of a busy day.

If you don’t have time or money to spend a day at the spa, these 10 ideas are the next best thing! Each idea is simple and can done at home with the kids around.

A previous post here also gives you 10 more ideas to squeeze in a bit of time to take care of yourself.

With a job as demanding as a parent, a 10-minute breather can maintain your sanity.

  1. How cool to be featured at Moms Talk – congratulations!

    I loved your post over there – I think my favorite idea is the picnic in the backyard. My lil’ one would get such a kick out of it, and it’s so easy to do. Definitely going to put that one (and some of the others, too!) to use. :)

     
  2. Just ran a work-life balance seminar for a group of ladies which included thoughts like this. Also recommend a book by a doctor named Swenson, called Margin. Very good, very timely.

     
  3. MammaDawg: Thanks. Kids love picnics, and we can let the ants clean up for us afterwards!

    Pete: Thanks, I’ll check out that book.

     
  4. Congrats on being a featured guest writer! That’s a huge deal. I loved your post over there BTW!
