SO… with everything going on we sort of skipped a week. Sorry about that! We DO have a winner for Week 2’s giveaway of the Kindle Fire- Glory! Hope you enjoy it Glory!
Time for another giveaway to celebrate the launch of I Need Some Help Here! Did someone say they need a cup of coffee (or three cups, depending on how many times the kids woke you up last night!)? I think it’s time for our Keurig giveaway. 
I have heard such hopeful feedback from my readers including this one from a reader from New England:
I just need to share – up until about 2 1/2 years ago, I thought parenting was going really pretty well. My husband and I were successfully raising a wonderful son who, other than talking alot in school, really didn’t give us any trouble. He was smart, athletic, handsome and, mostly, respectful (well, he did talk back a lot). Only child. Then he dropped a bomb on us. He didn’t “believe in God.” Now, his father and I are devout, practicing Catholics. Catholic schools, both of us. The whole nine yards. Our son, went to public schools until 9th grade, when we enrolled him in Catholic high school. Coincidentally (?), that is the year he gave up his belief. When I tell you I struggled, oh you can’t even imagine. I thought I’d never make it through a Mass again without crying. What did we do wrong? Why weren’t my friends having this problem? How can I enjoy my son knowing he’s turned away from something which is at the very core of me? etc. etc. Kathi Lipp, I can’t tell you how much you and this group have helped me. It sounds so cliche, but it really does help to know you’re not alone. It has helped me to be able to turn this one over to God. To keep reminding myself, with your help, that God loves him even more than I do. I pray daily that he’ll find his way back to his faith, but I’ve been able (for the most part) to start trusting that this is a path. Thank you for writing your book.
With this is mind, I would be so grateful if you would share about the book with your friends. Here are some ideas on how: 1. Order a copy of I Need Some Help Here! for a friend!

It’s easy to put your worth in your children’s failures and successes. In this week’s episode, Kathi and guest, Erin MacPherson, author of the Christian Mama’s Guide series, discuss being a part of the Bad Moms Club. While most moms are striving to be the best mom she can be, she is usually riddled with doubt, guilt and worry. If this sounds like you, take heart, you aren’t alone.
Kathi and Erin discuss ways to get through this journey of motherhood from birth through young adulthood. Some of the highlights include:
- “Don’t judge your parenting on one bad day!”- One bad day doesn’t undo all that parenting that you’ve poured into your kid/s.
- “Find your people that will still be a fan of your kid even when he/she doesn’t make the best decision.”- When our child has royally messed up, there is something about another adult who you admire seeing something besides “future adult delinquent” in your child that will give you hope.
- “Don’t put your faith in the sheep, put it in the Shepherd.”- We base the outcome of our lives on the actions of our children. Wrong. Our hope is only in God.
If you are in need of some encouragement through your mom walk, this one is for you. After you listen, comment below on what struck a cord with you the most. You’ll be entered to win a copy for you and a friend of Kathi’s new book, I Need Some Help Here! Help for When Your Kids Don’t Go According to Plan. In fact, two winners will win a copy for her and a friend!

GIVEAWAY: Jill has graciously given me 3 copies of her book, No More Perfect Moms, to giveaway to my readers! Please comment below for a chance to win. What’s the antidote you most struggle with in parenting your kids?
In my book No More Perfect Moms, I introduced the concept of the Perfection Infection–the effect on our minds and spirits of the wide-spread, sanitized, airbrushed standards we see every day in the world around us and our deplorable tendency to compare ourselves.
In an effort to fully understand the power of expecting perfection, let’s examine the ten dangers of perfectionism. See if you can read these in two ways: (1) through your own childhood experience, and (2) through the eyes of your children.
1: Children won’t ask for help because they can’t admit they need it
2: Children will resist trying new things.
3: Children who don’t make mistakes won’t develop resiliency.
4: Children will relate to parents from a perspective of fear.
5: Children may develop a negative and critical perspective toward themselves and others
6: Children may expect perfectionism from others even though they don’t like trying to meet the expectation themselves.
7: Children will focus primarily on what they can not do, rather than what they can do.
8: Children expected to be perfect may hesitate to own and believe in their successes because of the stress.
9: Children will not believe in or experience the beauty of unconditional love.
10: Being raised with perfection as a goal can negatively influence children’s spiritual growth and how they relate to the God of the Bible.
The antidotes for the Perfection Infection in parenting are compassion, perception, acceptance, and love.
Compassion
In my parenting life–before I got serious about addressing the Perfection Infection in my own parenting–I was a “buck up” mom. Push through the pain. You’re okay. Don’t dwell on the disappointment; instead look to the future. However, God’s been softening my heart on this. Sometimes I need to just listen to my kids I need to feel their pain without a need to fix it.
Perception
As a parent, you know it’s important to be in tune with your kids. What do they like? What do they dislike? Do they need alone time? Are they creative? Athletic? Musical? What’s important to them?
Perception not only helps us see how a child is wired, but it also helps us connect with how well he is doing emotionally. Kids don’t usually walk up to you and say, “I’m sad today.” Instead, they will lash out at a sibling with words or they will withdraw and be unusually quiet. Perception reads the cues a child is sending.
Acceptance
Every human being has a core need to belong. We want to know that people believe in us, approve of us, and accept us for who we are. We especially long for this from our parents.
In the midst of mistakes, poor choices, or progress, we need to make sure our children know they are still loved and accepted. We want them to know they belong to us no matter what. Acceptance doesn’t only need to happen when mistakes (also known as progress) are made; it also needs to happen when our kids are just plain old different from us.
Love
It’s one of the most overused words in our vocabulary, and it has such a wide spectrum of meaning. Love is a blend of affection, devotion, and loyalty. It is part emotion and part commitment. Real love–unconditional love–is hope blended into the reality of life.
We learn about love from God, whose love is perfection, unconditional, and never-ending:
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Our imperfect children need to know that our love is never at stake. It protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.[Tweet “Our imperfect children need to know that our love is never at stake. It protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.”] Without even realizing it, however, we sometimes parent with this equation: Bad Behavior = Withdrawal of Affection. It’s a natural human response to conflict and frustration, but it’s not a healthy one at all.
When God is the leader of our life, He asks us to deny ourselves and follow Him. That means resisting the way we want to react and instead choosing to respond the way God wants us to respond. There’s a battle that happens inside of us between doing things our way and doing things God’s way. When we let God win that battle, we take another step of maturity in our faith. We also get to experience a sense of joy when we experience the victory of handling things God’s way instead of our own.

News Flash: Rene Swope is giving away eight copies of I Need Some Help Here! Four winners will receive two books each. Click here to enter the drawing!
I’m forbidden to decorate birthday cakes.
The sad story of the lifetime ban my family enacted twenty years ago started with my ambitious plans to make the perfect cake for Annemarie’s party. It ended with the birthday girl trying to console me as I sobbed on the kitchen floor.
(And this was pre-Pinterest; I shudder to think of what I would have been like with that kind of self-imposed pressure!)
Now that my children are young adults, here’s what they actually remember from their childhoods:
1) Reading together every night as a family. To this day, they will rhapsodize about the books we read, the funny voices we used, and the way we tried to snuggle together on the couch even after they’d grown way too big.
2) Taking early morning walks together in the summer. We all carried bags to pick up trash, and we drilled each other on the multiplication tables (through twenty) and periodic table of elements.
3) Playing family games together. We got sillier and sillier until Dad ended up rolling on the floor gasping, “I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!”
My kids don’t remember A. Single. Birthday. Party. (And it’ll probably take years of therapy before they do!)
As I wondered why they remember the three things they do, I realized that these three have several things in common:
- We were relaxed.
- We had no agenda, no schedule.
- We spent a lot of the time smiling and laughing.
- The main goal was simply being together.
The activities that cost me the least time, energy, and stress are the ones they remember the best.
Now please know that I’m neither protesting nor promoting Pinterest. My point is simply this:
Our kids could care less about Pinterest.
What they really want is
- a relaxed mom.
- a laughing mom.
- a present mom.
I don’t see anything wrong with trying to pull off the perfect party.
If you can do both — present and perfect — my hat is off to you. Decorate that cake, and I’ll cheer from the sidelines.
But in those times when you can’t be both, remember the real gift your child hopes you’ll choose:
Present over perfect.
On their birthday and every day.
Prayer: Lord, when I only have the time and/or energy to be present or to do things perfect, help me to choose present. Thank you for loving me with a love that is ever-present and always perfect.
Today’s Challenge:
Do you know what your child’s favorite activities are with you and why? If not, ask them: you might be in for a surprise!
When do you suspect that your child would rather have you present than “perfect”? What would it take for you to choose present over perfect?
My bad mom friend and author of today’s challenge is Cheri Gregory. Cheri has been married to her college sweetheart for over a quarter-of-a-century and has two college-aged kids; she blogs about expectations, “baditude,” and hope at www.CheriGregory.com.

Father’s day is approaching and I am happy to have Rob Teigen as a guest blogger today. You can find him at Stronger Dads.
I love Father’s Day! I don’t care if it’s just another greeting-card induced holiday. I always like an excuse to fire up the grill and enjoy a day with my family. My wife Joanna and our kids always spoil me with creative gifts and key lime pie. This year holds an extra-special Father’s Day for us because our foster son is just weeks away from becoming “our boy” through adoption. One son in pull-ups and the other in college—got to love this crazy life!
Between our two boys we have three beautiful daughters.
Our oldest girl, Emma, is working hard to prepare for her driver’s test later this summer. In honor of Father’s Day (and the fact that we’re both still alive to tell about it), I’d like to share some parenting lessons I’ve learned through teaching Emma to drive.
It’s Scary
Just like getting in the car with an inexperienced teenager behind the wheel, fatherhood is not for the faint of heart. Unlike driving, however, we’re not handed an instruction manual with all of the rules of the road. There’s no “father’s ed” to give us some practice before sending us out on our own. The road of fatherhood gets bumpy sometimes. The GPS stops working and we feel lost in how to lead our families. Thankfully we have a perfect Father in heaven that stays by our side every moment. When we’re lost, he promises to show us which way to go. When we’re exhausted and broken down, too tired to travel one more mile, he gives us strength to keep on going. When we break the rules or fail and face painful consequences, he gives grace and forgiveness every time. When we feel like life is moving too fast and we’re out of control, he is our peace.
It’s exciting
My daughter is eager for the excitement and independence that a driver’s license will bring. It will be a new chapter in life with my daughter—allowing her new freedom and responsibility. It’s already a thrill to see her confidence growing as she masters lane changes on the freeway and parking neatly in the center of a parking spot. Fatherhood is exciting too. We get to witness so many “firsts”—their first word, first steps, first job, first dance—and their wonder at falling in love, finding their gifts and talents, and beginning families of their own. Even with all the stressful, sleepless nights that parenting brings, children are a blessing from the Lord. Nothing will stretch our faith or bring us to our knees like fatherhood. It’s a wild and exciting ride.
Be a coach, not a critic
Every time my daughter and I buckle up to practice her driving, I have to decide if I’m there to coach or criticize. Do I resolve to stay calm and express confidence in her? Will I become angry and overreact when she makes mistakes or backs into the trash cans? I can choose to gently correct and guide her through her weaknesses, or tear her down through worrying and complaining that she’s never going to get it right. In fathering it’s the same—it’s easy for me to become anxious and criticize my kids’ every move. However, I want to strive to be for them what God is for me. He’s slow to anger, abounding in love, full of patience, and forever encouraging us no matter how many times we fail.
Be consistent
One of the lessons I’ve been teaching my daughter is to be as consistent as possible in her driving. She should wear her seat belt every time. Her phone should never leave her purse when she’s on the road. She should check her mirrors and look over her shoulder every time she changes lanes. She should always check that the wipers and lights are shut off before she take the keys out of the ignition. Consistent habits will help her to know the road and the car so well that she can get to her destination safely. Parenting requires consistency too. Our kids need to know that our love, our values, and our commitment to them will never change. When we keep our promises and follow through with discipline, it gives our children security and the assurance that we’re here for them no matter what. It’s a way to demonstrate the faithfulness of God himself—he says that even when we fail him, he will never leave or forsake us. He never changes and he never turns away when we reach out for him.
Let them go
This is the hardest one of all in both teaching kids to drive and parenting. It’s hard to feel out of control, and it’s brutal to give it up to a child with so much less experience and wisdom than her dad. To hand over the car keys to my girl and say, “Here. I trust you with our safety and one of the most expensive items I own” is not easy. My son remembers driver’s training and still teases me about the invisible brake I was always stomping on the passenger side. Pushing that imaginary brake pedal was a foolish attempt to feel like I had some effect on how fast we were going. Over time I learned to relax and trust that he could handle things just fine. The greatest way to free ourselves from fear and worry as parents is to release our kids to God. The vehicle (no pun intended) by which we hand our kids over to him is prayer. Placing our children fully in the loving hands of God will free us from worry and frustration. It allows us to trust God’s perfect plans for our kids’ lives, even when “they don’t go according to plan” as Kathi would say. Our goal is not to raise perfect children, but to allow God to bring them to a point where they place their trust in him. God can use every situation for their good and we can trust them to his control.
Enjoy the ride
It can be difficult to not take driving and life with our kids too seriously. When I think she didn’t just turn in front of that 18-wheeler, did she?! Or, she didn’t just talk back to me like that, did she! fatherhood just seems stressful and hard. But when I look over at my lovely daughter in that driver’s seat and see what a fantastic young lady she’s becoming I just think about how we got here. How just yesterday I was teaching her to ride a bike in the church parking lot. How she used to hold my hand in the grocery store and now she’s driving me there. How she needed me to tuck her in and now she stays out long after I’m asleep. Our days with our children go by so fast, and we can spend way too much time stressing over the small stuff. We miss out on breathing in the beauty of the special moments each day. Enjoy the ride—celebrate your family and your kids’ dad this Father’s Day. Let him know what a great job he’s doing this week. I have a hunch he’d love to hear that from you.

This first podcast is for earbuds only – no listening in the minivan with the kiddos in back (unless they are plugged into their own listening device…)
A conversation with Sheila Wray Gregoire, the author of The Good Girls Guide to Great Sex (And You Thought Bad Girls Have All the Fun) and blogger extraordinaire over at To Love Honor and Vacuum.
Kathi and Sheila have a fun, but frank conversation about sex in marriage. Here are some of the areas where they just go there:
• Women love talking about sex, but when you ask them about their sex lives, there is always a groan. What’s the deal?
• What is the difference between sex and making love?
• What can I do during the day to make me ready for sex at night?
• Sheila’s best piece of advice when your sex life is stalled out.
• What do you do if you are one of the 30% women who have a higher sex drive than her husband?
• Sheila’s word to women whose husbands are addicted to porn.
Fun informative, and hopefully for your husband, a little motivating.
Let’s Talk About Sex (Baby…)

When we’re dating we flirt. We wink at him. We take his hand. We give him that “come hither” look. But when we’re married, too often we stop flirting. Why flirt when you’ve already got him? And if you flirt, you may give him the idea that you’re definitely going to deliver tonight. You wouldn’t want to promise anything like that.
But there’s a problem with that strategy. For women, our primary sex organs are our brains. For us to get in the mood, our brains have to be engaged. Take flirting out of the equation, and you take away one of your primary tools for boosting your libido!
So we’re going to turn it up a notch, and look at 16 ways to flirt with your husband! Just as playing with your husband helps you laugh together, flirting helps you to laugh–and binds you together because you share a relationship with your spouse that is totally unique. Here are some ideas to get the fun rolling.
