Thank you for these parenting posts – this one really hit home with me – I know I haven’t been as consistent with my 15-month old son’s discipline as I should be, and this was a real encouragement to me. The part that really hit home is the factor that if I get up to discipline him, it interrupts my work- which is a big factor for me since I take him to my office with me & often ignore his disobedience in order to finish my finance projects. Thanks for posting this!

Hello Mary! Love your blog and gonna buy your book!
Thanks to Meredith!!!
I see you have several children of African descent —
I too am Af-Am and just wanted you to know that I have friends like you who have opened their hearts to bless children from other countries and I impart ‘hair product’ advice to them all the time – If ever you need anything or should have questions – feel free to let me know -
Good for you and your growing fam! God Bless!

Thank you for such a quick response, and for making a post just for me Also, thanks so much for your condolences regarding our daughter. After reading what I have read of your book, I am wanting to adopt two again! My fire has been re-ignited.

Hi! I received your book today, (I ordered it in Oct. I believe,) and I am already on Ch. 4 and can’t put it down. I am loving it. I had a hard time visualizing your description on your laundry room, as I am not a 3D thinker. I would love to see pics of it. Perhaps you can make a post on it, or maybe if you already have you can tell me where to look. Thanks so much.

Great encouragement… I find myself dreading the checking process, but I too often forget that it DOES give me the chance to praise them. And who doesn’t need that once in a while?
Thank you so much for the sweet reminder.

Great reminder! I didn’t do a great job in checking chores this Saturday and it kicked me in that pants later!

I pre-ordered your book a while ago and it came in the mail yesterday! I started it last night and am loving it! I have five kids and reading the book makes me want another. My baby is 4.
