One of my favorite authors of godly, practical Mommy-wisdom is Marilyn Boyer, mother of fourteen, and homeschooling veteran of thirty years. Recently, a friend of mine drew my attention to a two-part series Mrs. Boyer did on delighting in our children. It’s a great reminder, especially for perfectionist types like me, who can get bogged down in all the things I want my children to do and learn.
UPDATED AGAIN! Now we have Part 4.


Thanks. This is actually a topic I’ve had on my mind and been praying about a lot recently. The links were really helpful.
Good link.
Hey, long-time lurker, first-time commenter, thank you for these links! I’ve just finished reading Rick’s book Yes, They’re All Ours and am looking forward to reading through this series and their blog.
Really enjoy your blog – it’s always so thought-provoking.
