Monday Morning After Hurricane Sandy

As most of us get ready for Monday morning and the work week ahead, let's not forgot the people still recovering from Hurricane Sandy's impact. Your Monday morning will be normal, theirs won't be. I found this post by Danni Kay who blogs at missaleck.com . As of Saturday, she was without power for 6 days and she writes about her gratitude to all those that have helped out the storm victims. There is a short video at the end that she recorded on day 3 without power. She seems tired, but her faith is strong. At the end of her post she writes, "God is still able."...... Check it out. If your kids have questions on how to help, here is an ABC news story with links to organizations that are working in the area. Luke 10:33 "But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

Lesson Learned From 10 Year Old Not From Cop

The following post is by the Co-founder of WorkingClassParenting.com, Omar De Pablo: I hate to start out with a cliché; however, how often have we as parents thought to ourselves or spoken, “do as I say and not as I do?" We discipline our children on particular matters and expect, no, demand, consistent obedience. Meanwhile, we ourselves are lacks-a-daisy about the same issue. Multiple times in my sons early years I've stressed the importance of wearing seat belts. Before the car would row out, everyone was to have their seat belts on. After a while it became habit for him to get the seat belt on, but habit for me to leave it off. So with time, the tables turned. My son, now 10 years old, reminds me every time I get in the car to “get your seat belt on dad, what if we get in an accident dad, what if you get pulled over dad?" As soon as I was called out I would make some sly remark like, “oh I was going too, or, I forgot, I will now." (You know, trying to keep...

100 year old parenting tip

In my day job I am a Plumber, I know you are asking, "What, you aren't a millionaire blogger after only five posts? Shocking!" (just kidding) So yes, I am a Plumber but I am finding some ways to blend that job with my parenting blog. Today I did a job for Mrs. Van(for short) who turned 100 years old in January of this year. She still lives in her own home, but no longer drives, and her mind is as sharp as a tack. As I am doing my job she mentions how old she was in conversation, and I thought after 100 years on this planet and for a larger portion of that being a parent, grandparent and now great-grandparent she has to have some wisdom into parenting. So after I was done with the job, I told her I was a parent myself and would really appreciate any parenting tips she could share. She paused for a minute, not often does your plumber ask for parenting advice I guess, but then she said some really profound yet simple things. Be a loving family (love each other and d...
