Lazy Days and Modesty in Mind
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, November 05, 2009 11:14 PM
On this week’s podcast (click here or click on the player above), Rebecca, Elizabeth and I look indepth at two popular blog posts from this past week. In our first topic, we use Tammy Darling’s recent post as a jumping off point for a great discussion on helping our children find the right balance between laziness and valuing hard work without going overboard. Do the kids in your home tend to be on the lazy side? Do you struggle with this yourself? Take a look at Tammy’s excellent checklist for a diagnostic tool. Elizabeth also recommends the wonderful book The Myth of Laziness
Our Faith & Family Feature Product this week is the wonderful novel Sweet Dreams by bestselling Catholic author Katherine Valentine. Katherine is graciously sharing this inspirational work of fiction free of charge over at CatholicMom.com. Join us each Monday as we unveil a new chapter together. Begin reading here and check back every week as the story unfolds.
Our final topic this week was inspired by Danielle’s recent post on Jeans for Teens. Whether you’re a “boy mom” or a “girl mom”, it can be a true challenge to shop with modesty in mind. We share our thoughts on good brands, stores, and how to talk about this sometimes challenging topic with the teens in our lives. How do you teach your growing children to dress in a way that will promote respect, and to deal with others who may not share these same values? Elizabeth recommends It’s So You! Fitting Fashion to Your Life
