Because What Our Kids Really Need is More Self-Esteem
So, funny story. About my daughter, who hates it when I talk about her, incidentally.

There’s an alternative to eating chocolate?!
Release is what I want to ask for, but knowing that even the tough times are for my good and God’s glory – I try to ask for strength to get through.
