Close Google Classroom, logout of Zoom, shut off your computers, &, UNPLUG! Unplug, unwind, and get lost in the great outdoors, for it is in losing oneself in nature that you’ll be reconnected with your soul.  And there’s no place more relaxing to get lost in the great outdoors than Pure Michigan!  Which was precisely what we did…we grabbed our walking shoes, water bottles, packed a picnic, and hit the road in hopes of leaving the stress of life behind and getting lost in the simplicity, comfort, and beauty of nature.

One of the hardest things about getting older is seeing your parents get older as well. When you are young, you think that your parents are invincible and they will always be there to look out for you. But as you get older, you realize that isn’t true and there comes a time when you will need to start looking out for them. Parents put up with a lot from their kids and they are always forgiving, so now that they need help, it’s time for you to step up and care for them. However, this can be very difficult when you have a family of your own and a busy work life. If you are not able to be there for them all of the time, you need to start looking into care options. There are a few different care options available to you and you need to consider your own personal situation as well as your parent’s health issues and care needs. These are some of the best care options for your aging parents. Read more →

It’s okay. You can admit it! The life of a parent is stressful. Especially for those who have to juggle their familial responsibilities with those of work or running a business. What’s more, there are many who walk the path of parenthood alone. While these awesome single parents almost always have some sort of support network (you guys have a Mom Tribe behind you, right?), they nonetheless feel the pressures of parenthood much more acutely than those who are lucky enough to have a co-parent. There are many traits a good Mom or Dad needs to have. Patience, love, compassion, discipline, a sense of humor. Here, we’ll look at the importance of forgiveness for parents. Forgiveness is mentioned frequently in the Bible. But it doesn’t come readily for many of us. After all, our lives are hard and laden with adversity. It’s not always easy to set aside our slights and move forward with a smile on our lips.  Read more →
