Trust The Process

September 5, 2015 By Racheous

While gardening today, I got to thinking as I potted out a whole heap of watermelon seedlings. I had 100% germination rate and no room for the plants to fully grow… I didn’t trust the process.

What DO we do Instead of Punishment?

August 24, 2015 By Racheous

It Matters To Them

September 16, 2014 By Racheous

I have been reading about this everywhere lately. Parents complaining about children whinging over insignificant things. Mothers bonding over their kids crying over ‘petty’ issues. And I get it. I do. I get frustrated with my toddler screaming because she can’t fit a dress that she wants to wear so badly. I get overwhelmed when […]
