I am primarily a visual learner. Basically, if I don’t see it, I forget it, and if I can’t see it, I’m not paying attention. This is why I slept through most of my college lectures and sleep through many sermons…even in the second row. That’s why I was super-excited to receive a NeuYear calendar...

When my first two were little, I was part of a moms group that spent a year going through a curriculum that drove home the point that moms needs to protect who they are—their identity before kids. There are lots of ways to do that but one that I have been really good about is...
Adoption books can be intimidating. They’re often long and wordy. If you are reading as part of your training, they’re like drinking from a fire hydrant because they cover so many topics to accomodate all the types of adoptions, children, and parenting styles. Mostly likely half the book won’t apply to you but you’re not...
