    1. Thanks! Yes, We really loved Shepherding a Child's Heart, but it was also challenging to me and the way I thought I would parent.

  2. I admire your verve and fortitude. My lists are a day by day thing, and when they get too long, I start them over with something I can handle! Isn't it amazing, though, when you keep track of what you're doing over time, you see how very much you actually DO? I used to keep track of the things I knitted, and after a year I thought, "I seriously did all that?" Congratulations to you and your family, and for all the wonderful things you are doing!

    1. Thanks! I am a list person through in through, big picture lists like this one, and day by day ones. I always have to put a few things on that are easy so I can cross them off and build momentum!
