Parenting Boys into The Launch {Episode 71 with Gwen Smith}
I remember...just like yesterday...when the idea of sending my oldest son to college sounded absolutely crazy. Like it was so far away...why would I even think about it? (Or want to?) But, the grandmas were right again when they said "Just blink and they'll be all grown up!" Sending kids off to college...or launching them into whatever future they choose...can be a bittersweet topic. It can be all at once everything we have prayed for, worked for, and dreamed of.

Navigating the News with Your Kids {Episode 68 with World Watch}
If there's ever been a time that is tricky to have kids tuning into the news...it is 2020. 😯 I want my boys to be up-to-date on current events, but the news can be confusing and overwhelming (not to mention, biased.) Dave and I try to use news stories to open up good conversations with our kids, but that isn't always possible. With this in mind, I was beyond happy to find out about World Watch -- a 10- minute, daily current events program geared towards
