Happy Halloween!

Just wanted to wish everyone a SAFE and FUN Halloween!  Enjoy trick-or-treating with your kiddos! (And perhaps enjoy some of their candy yourself....did I say that?!)

If you have great Halloween costume pics of your kids that you'd like to show off on the blog, please send them to us at mylifewithpie@gmail.com. We'll post our Annapie pics soon too. Have a great time!

Even Supermoms Have Limits

So, out of concern that perhaps you won’t “listen” to me anymore if I keep talking about listening, I will make this my last post in this vein (for now, anyway).  And I’ll work on the bad jokes too.

Writing about listening to our limits yesterday, and realizing how little I listen to mine, made me realize that acknowledging our limits doesn’t always mean saying “no.”

Sometimes, it means saying YES.

Listening Goes Both Ways

Yesterday, I talked about the power of words and how important it is to be careful with our words in terms of relating to our children.

Today, however, I want to talk about the importance of our children’s words. Just as we need to be careful what we say – and how we say it – we also need to listen to their words, even if it means reading between the lines.

I'm listening!  May 2010
