"The world needs more peace ... The world needs more human connection. Let it begin with my hands as I choose to hold on to my loved ones instead of my devices."
"See What is Good, the fifth intentional habit of a Hands Free Life, offers a chance to look beyond the outer surface to the heart of what matters most. It is a perspective that allows us to see beyond our distractions, our hang-ups, and our preconceived notions to see the blessings right in front of us. See What is Good allows us to be an encourager rather than a dictator ... an original rather than a conformist ... a bearer of joy rather than a messenger of gloom."

Five to Thrive tips for working and living with the strong-willed child.
Don't try to solve everything at once. Some tips will work better than others, but all of them will work to varying degrees depending on the child, the day, the mood, and so on. Remember, hundreds of SWCs (strong-willed children) have endorsed these strategies, and hundreds more are out there just waiting for you to ask them for more ideas. It won't be as hard as you think!

As a newlywed with no kids, let’s just say I was skeptical that this book would be helpful to my life. Let me just start off by saying . . . I was wrong.
When I sat down at Starbucks (a nice peaceful alternative to my living room), I began reading the intro. She had me at "hello." Renee has a tone that will encourage you and make you feel like tackling your home is not an impossible task. I was expecting an “impossible” list of things to change, but what I wasn't expecting is that the list would start with me! Phase One is "Transform Self," Phase Two is "Transform Family," and Phase Three is "Transform Home." It's definitely not what I was expecting! The clutter in my house has always seemed to be an impossible task. My family teases that my Dad and I have method to our madness. And we do! It may be cluttered, but we know where things are. Unfortunately, because of this, there didn't seem to be much motivating me to change. And over the years it became an impossible task.
Even though my home is new to me, and my family is just my husband and I, it was incredibly helpful to begin to read about ways would could incorporate our future family into maintaining balance in our home.
This is definitely a book that anyone can read and anyone can relate to. No home is perfect. This book will help encourage you. It won't boggle you down, or make you feel guilty. Renee is there to walk along side you and lovingly help you feel like you can be successful at developing healthy living skills.

As a longstanding secular homeschooler, I like to know when I am buying something that has bible verses in it. That said, I appreciate the "can do" spirit, the obsessive detailing (so I don't have to be obsessive from the ground up) and practical advice. It's a tad bit aggravating that she uses her own very accomplished children as models--I would have appreciated some examples of medium-accomplished kids--but there is certainly enough information in the book to figure it out.
Some people love history, and others… not so much. Faced with a history-phobic kid, social studies-hating kid, you don't have to skip the subject. If you are looking a fast
Let's talk about real feelings. How do you feel when you think about homeschooling high school? Do any of these words sound familiar?
