My daughter is what I like to kindly refer to as "strong-willed." It feels more productive than saying that she is just hard headed or stubborn. There is some kind of comfort gained by...

At our house, we often talk about thinking of others; however, last week I was reminded that actions speak louder than words. One morning, as I sat at a red light with my children in...
