large family

I walked back into our bedroom and showed my husband the little strip with the telltale two pink lines.

I'm not saying that I've got this parenting thing nailed, but I am saying that I've done it five times which is worth something.

Through the years, I've learned that our ideologies matter far less than the quality of the relationships we build with our kids. Your rules and my rules may be entirely different, but if we center our parenting around nurturing and compassion for our kids, we will achieve similar results.
