Peltor Ear Muffs
By · CommentsI loved seeing the pictures of Drew Brees’s son with the same Peltor Ear Muffs that Elijah has. Everyone looks at us like we are strange at Joe’s games, but at least there are some other weird parents out there!
Self-Awareness is a Good Parenting Trait
By · CommentsYesterday I mentioned taking the Real Age quiz about my own health and lifestyle. I then filled out a questionnaire in regards to Abby’s health to see how I was doing in raising her. Not surprisingly, the areas where I tended to fall short were where she fell short as well. I think this is not only because I am in charge of a lot of these areas for her, but because she watches me and imitates much of what I do.
As I thought about it, it seems like our weaknesses are often manifested in our children not only in the area of health, but in the relational, spiritual and emotional arenas as well. Which means that one of the greatest ways we can parent our children is to know our own weaknesses. It we want to equip our children to live in a way that brings them happiness, then we need to see the obstacles that will keep them from that joy in life. So we must know our own hearts and our own struggles in order to help them with many of the same things they will face.
Real Age
By · CommentsI know many of us have seen the real age type tests floating around out there on the internet. But I came across one this morning that I thought was pretty decent at Real Age. It did a good job of taking into account a variety of areas of life such as family history, relationships, stress, lifestyle, nutrition and exercise.
My results were:
Calendar Age: 30.1 years
Real Age: 23.7 years
I would encourage you to check it out and then take one of their suggestions to make a habit change for the month of February to live healthier. Building one new healthy habit at a time can make a big difference!
