Thoughts of The Homemaker
This is what is on my mind: Intentional Parenting- Not just letting each day slip by, and giving in to whatever makes our kids happy, but intentionally parenting our children. Training them to be well disciplined. This is a new experience for me, and let me tell you, it is H.A.R.D! Especially ...
