Anyone ever had a kid who whined, lied, tattled, or complained? (🙋🏼♀️) If so, then today's episode is for you. I am so excited to share this packed, practical chat with best-selling author, Ginger Hubbard, with all of you. I especially loved talking to Ginger, because her early books, “Don’t Make me Count to Three” and “I Can’t Believe You Just Said That!” shaped my early parenting years. (Who could have guessed that I'd one day be interviewing her on a podcast?!
Boy Mom Podcast
Every Boy is Unique! Personality Types and More with Heather MacFadyen {Episode-94}
Aloha Friends! I received such positive feedback from the recent birth order series on the Podcast (see episodes 90, 91, and 92) and it made me just want to keep the conversation going. When it comes to being students of our kids, we could have endless conversations! I thought it would be fun to sit down (virtually) with another boy mom and just chat about a few more of the ways we can understand - and therefore parent, our sons better! Heather MacFadyen, host of the Don't

What Youngest Kids Need Most {Episode 92, with Luke and Levi}
Hey Friends, Well, I hope you have enjoyed my mini-podcast-series on birth order as much as I have! If you've missed them, be sure to go back and catch The Firstborn chat as well as last week's episode about middle kids. But today...Today is all about those LAST BORNS...The babies of the family! And there is no doubt, those little rascals are uniquely lovable, aren't they!? In this episode, I had so much fun reading the blog post that I wrote years ago, and
Let’s Talk Middle Children {Episode 91, with my son, Jonah}
Talking about Middle Children, and offering a giveaway! Today we continue our mini-series about birth order! I loved hearing from so many of you about your firstborn kids last week, and found so many of your comments fascinating!

I was exploring birth order back when my 2nd son was barely a teenager, and what
Let’s Talk Firstborns! {Episode 90 with my son, Josiah}
Talking about firstborn children, and offering a giveaway! Got firstborns? (or maybe you are one? ) Either way, this is for you! I love to talk about all of the things that shape our kids into who they are -- their personalities, love language, birth order, and on and on. In my book, BOY MOM, I talk about being a "student" of our sons...The more we understand them, the better we can parent them! Many years ago I wrote a short series on my blog about birth order. I
Read and Understand the Bible – and Help Your Kids do the Same {Ep. 89 with Tara Leigh Cobble}
Tara Leigh Cobble of the Bible Recap Podcast and book joins me on the Boy Mom Podcast. Question: Have you ever been reading through parts of the Bible (you know...Numbers, for example. 😳 🤷♀️) and thought to yourself: "I wish someone would tell me WHAT in the world is going on here!" Or...(my true, exact thoughts): "I wish someone would write a daily devotional that would help me understand the ENTIRE Bible! But somehow that idea seemed too good to be true... Until
Pointing our Sons to the One True God {Episode 88 with Carl Laferton}
Kids today are faced with a huge range of different views on who God is (or isn't). How can they be sure who's got it right? Oh this is a difficult part of our current parenting reality, isn't it? And one we are wise to invest time and prayer into! While we've had many conversations in our family on that topic, I am so very grateful for helpful resources to make tough topics like this a little easier to tackle! I think story - especially stories from the Bible -- are the
