Do you want to record your child's life story?  Do you want to create a keepsake baby journal you will both treasure?

With the award-winning “My Life” baby journal, you have the opportunity to become your child’s own biographer and create a personalized memory book the whole family will treasure!   With my personal messages framing each chapter, you will never be at a loss for words. There is also room for pictures and messages from other special people in the child’s life, like relatives and friends, making the “My Life” baby journal your child’s memory book for life.  Get yours today!

To make it even easier for parents to start and finish their baby journals, I developed “Put Your Love on Paper” baby journaling workshops.  Moms and dads coming together in community, sharing their stories, and learning that they really do have time to keep a journal for their child and they do know what to write, because the words come from their heart.  I hope you’ll join me for an upcoming workshop!

Give your child the ultimate gift…the story of their life, written in love by you!

Are you a purposeful parent? Is there a plan or purpose to your parenting? Or, like many busy parents, do you just try to 'get through it'. I meet many moms and dads who are doing just that. Trying to get through a particularly unpleasant stage and not finding the joy in being given the gift of molding and influencing another life - their child.

Yes, parenting can be challenging. Yes, we are all busy. But what job is more important? At the end of our lives, what other accomplishment will we be most proud of? It certainly won't be that promotion or other career-oriented success, but rather that due to our love and guidance, we have raised happy, healthy, and loving children.

I was one of those "when will he ever... fill in the blank" type of parents for many years. Today, I try to put a bit more thought into the type of parent I am. Today, I try to pay attention to my actions and words. Today, I seek out the lessons my children are here to teach me and I'd like to share some of them with you with my new blog, "Parenting For Purpose."  

Here you will find everyday examples of one mom's journey to become a more mindful, more conscious parent. Yes, there are ups and downs, but overall, there's a little lesson in each entry along with a Purposeful Parent Tip that you can try out.

I welcome your comments and hope you will share the blog with friends and family who also share in this quest. To put back the real purpose in parenting.
