Yes, Love U with All My Heart is a texted verse every day from dear old Mom. These are just a few that I picked to share.

I have learned what being faithful to my girls can be, by finding a verse, and I have been blessed by looking to His Word as I have become faithful to Him.

I challenge each of you to take this journey with your kids, your husbands, and yourself. I know I didn't get what I was thinking I would by the girls looking for their verse, but every day they got one from the Lord because I never gave up.

Don't give up. Our Lord is always waiting for us to see Him, hear Him, and enjoy our walks with Him Who knows how many of these verses my girls will be able to bring out of their hearts' filing cabinet just because we texted

Love u with all my heart A mom

Carter-Ly tells her story of a mother's rite of passage while single parenting seven children-attempting to keep a pot on the stove, and the rent paid each month. This memoir follows her as she marries, only to endure horrific abuse from the husband. The Game Plan demonstrates a faith in God and is a testimony to believing in the impossible.

The Game Plan develops into a plot, a you deserve better design for seven innocent children. Joyce shares the lessons learned through many years of discovery, struggle, self actualization, and intense parenting, and it is an inspiration for any caregiver.

This book focuses on how parents and other caregivers can have richer and more fruitful conversations with their children. Parents will be able to use the ideas in this book to improve conversations with their children in ways that help them (a) more effectively learn in school, (b) develop stronger and more lasting relationships in and out of school, and (c) increase their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Some children are more prepared for school than others. Much of this preparation comes from the types of conversations that children have and listen to at home. Many children need more practice in developing and using key conversation skills that are expected in school and life. They need more practice co-constructing ideas with other people, face to face, and they need more practice engaging in respectful collaboration and argumentation. This book helps parents to provide such practice.

As a former teacher, school board chair, and state legislator, Kristen J. Amundson has spent decades answering parents' questions about school. This book highlights 81 questions, covering a child's school journey from preschool to postsecondary education. It includes some of the school secrets parents need to know-the often unwritten rules that can make a child's K-12 experience the best it can be. Should you "redshirt" your kindergartener (and hold them out for a year)? How much parent help on homework is too much? And why could playing in the band be a secret to getting your child into a good college? For parents who are struggling to teach their child at home during a pandemic-related school closure, there are lots of tips on how to do that while still keeping your sanity (and your own job). 81 Questions for Parents combines common sense, research, and a little humor to help parents support their child to get the best possible education.

In Foster Care: How to Fix This Corrupted System, author Janet Solander presents stories of how Child Protective Services (CPS), Department of Family Services (DFS), and the foster system have failed the very children they are mandated to protect and hold safe. Solander shares heartbreaking incidents taken from the daily news as well as her own firsthand experiences as a foster parent. Only through public awareness is there any chance that the children in the system have any hope of being protected the way they should be.Every child has the right to a safe and secure home, but foster children sometimes find that being in the system brings them to a worse place than the home from which they were taken. Only through public involvement pressuring lawmakers to correct the shortcomings in the system will the innocent victims, the children, have the chance the system promises them. Foster Care explains what is happening with these children and what we can do to help correct this dire situation.When foster parents and children gain a stronger voice to advocate for them, only then will the system be able to take care of those who are most vulnerable.

In 1994, five-year-old Frankie Gobel begged his father to ride the wooden roller coaster, Rolling Thunder, just once. That one ride was enough to hook the pair on the exhilaration and excitement of riding roller coasters. In this memoir, author Charles F. Gobel describes the pair's fifteen-year adventure of traveling to amusement parks around the United States to experience the thrill of the ride.

From their inaugural season, Charles and Frankie traveled by car, plane, and sleeper train to ride coasters of all sizes and heart-thumping capabilities. "Flying with Frankie" narrates their journey as the duo spend more than 300 days in forty different amusement parks, conquering 150 diverse thrill rides and thousands of roller coasters.

This travelogue details the adventures and describes the wide variety of coaster rides they experienced. Just as important as the rides, however, are the heartfelt memories created through all of their adventures and the steadfast bond that developed between the two as they followed the quest to take that one perfect ride.

Just like in flying, emergencies can happen at any time in life when we least expect them. Things are going smoothly and life throws us a "curve ball." How we react to those situations is often more important than anything else. When that challenge involves an illness or death of a loved one, the stakes and the tension of the game of life are the highest of all. This is the true story of a family living in Texas, suddenly confronted with the stark reality of brain cancer. Adapting to this common enemy, the family pulled together in a collective support network to help the mother deal with the crisis, while reminiscing and savoring the special moments they have enjoyed together over the years. This is a memoir of Linda Kay Eggspuehler...a mother, wife, friend, homemaker, surgical technologist, and so much more. She was the rock and foundation of this family. She touched so many lives with her gentle love and compassion. This memoir is dedicated to her children, so that their children will know who she was a little better.

It's hard to be left taking care of your family all by yourself. Parenting alone in the wake of domestic violence, intense conflict or traumatic, unexpected events, makes being 'the parent who stayed' even more difficult. Are you standing in the ruins of your family wondering what the hell you have to do to get back to being ok again? Has the amount of conflict, aggression and shame that came with separation/divorce floored your and your kids? You deserve to be happy, no matter how awful this has been. Parenting alone after traumatic family breakdown is relentless, lonely, scary and hard. The nights you sit on the stairs crying after the kids finally fall asleep. The days you can barely get out of bed but push on through because no-one else is going to pick up the pieces.

It's for you, if even lifting your eyes to the path ahead feels like putting yourself in the firing line. It is for you if you're just about getting through the day you're in. It's for you if you know that life cannot change when you have no perspective, no vision, and no plan. You can figure out how to pick up all the broken pieces of your life and put them back together again. Nina Farr, TED Speaker, Author and Leadership Coach (plus ex-lone parent to two under two), can show you how, because she's been there.
