Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6

Andy and I have been married for 23 years and are certified financial counselors through Crown Financial Ministries. We have worked with hundreds of families throughout the state to help them establish healthy financial principles based on Biblical truths. We also conduct seminars for high school seniors on finances and debt avoidance.
Technically, I am also a "Certified Parenting Instructor" but in reality I am the mother to four sons who have kept me on my toes over the last 15 years of parenting them. I thoroughly enjoy this role as "Mom" and I love speaking to mom's groups about purposeful parenting that helps keep this time of life fun and fulfilling.
You may want to checkout the parenting handouts from classes that I have run(Parenting Resources) or find some budget examples and financial info sheets (Financial Resources). Feel free to witness the miracle God did in our lives in 2010 with our ten-year-old son or just have a laugh or two (Just for Fun).
Finally, I have a few chapters of a book I am writing about raising grateful kids. This is my attempt to empower parents to fight against the materialism and consumerism that is so aggressive in our culture today.
Thanks for stopping by to look around.
