This blog is about “accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative.” 

It’s about stepping back as parents, re-evaluating where we’re going, and ushering good things into our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships.

And it’s about living a simplified, balanced life, so that personal and family values are better able to take center stage. 

In some mom-circles, the idea of life balance gets a bad rap. I admit that I’ve even poked fun at the idea. But I think that it’s a good goal to have.

So many of us say that we want to have “well-rounded kids.” Well, what about being a well-rounded adult? I feel that if we strive to find personal fulfillment and balance in our lives, then we will be less susceptible to the rampant negativity and alarmism that threaten all of the fun to be had as a parent .. and as families! 

If we work on being better people, then we’ll just have to end up being better parents.

It’s worth a shot, anyway.
