I love technology. I love how it connects me with people all over the world. I met a new mom who lives in South Africa while I was prego with my first daughter. We both had little girls born about two weeks apart. It has been so much fun to stay in touch with her as they have grown. They are having their 5th birthdays this month and it is so much fun to think about the fact that I have a dear friend who lives on the other side of the world who goes through the same struggles, joys, and experiences that I do. We can bond and share the common joy of motherhood together.
Family is the core. It is the key to life and the true joy in it. It is what makes life and all the sacrifices worth living. And it can be tough. I recently was introduced to a new website that I have LOVED exploring. Family Share is an amazing site. It has a “pinterest” type format that is full of family centered articles. Articles that will help you strengthen your family and your marriage.
While I would like to think that I have a pretty strong family and a solid marriage, I really enjoyed so many of the articles. There is something for everyone in every stage of life.
This article on 5 things we wish we’d known before raising our kids was GREAT!
Here are a few highlights. Make sure to check out the entire article to get more in depth info.
1. Look for the good in each child and be less focused on his failings.
2. Spend more time reading to and with your child.
3. Worry less about trivial things
4. Have more fun with your children.
5. Help your children discover their talents.
They even have an entire section called “Money Wise.” There you will find articles with money saving tips and lots of GOOD info on how walk the fine line of money and relationships. Like this article: “Having ‘the talk’: Discussing Finances with your Spouse.”
While you are checking out Family Share, make sure to check out their Show Love tab. It is a fun place to send a special note to someone that you love. Just write a note, share it, and they will email the person letting them know where to find it. It is so fun to see all the love that people are sharing.
With so much negativity out there, isn’t is wonderful to find a place that is so positive. I really enjoy Family Share. I hope you do too.
