Problem-solving is among the top 5 sought-after skills among recruiters and hiring managers, based on a 2021 survey.

Flip through to see why it matters and what we can do about it.

P.S. More on problem-solving in my stories!

Big things are coming, and I need your help!

Remember how I used to have a podcast?

Well, I abandoned it without explanation or warning in March because life happened, and something had to give.

The old podcast is still there for your listening pleasure, but I’m planning to relaunch a NEW one soon.

It will be fresh and different and about how to stay grounded amid all the CRAZINESS that life keeps throwing at us.

More info to come. But first, I need your help choosing a cover image for the show.

Do you like the first, second, or third image better??

Don’t throw away your shot with your teen!

Talk less.

Listen (and smile) more.

They already know what you think.

Now is the time to hear to what they think.

Who knew Hamilton included sage parenting advice??

P.S. What’s your favorite Hamilton song?? (I love all the ones with King George!)

You can have a fantastic relationship with your te

You can have a fantastic relationship with your teen AND hold them accountable for their actions.

You can meet your teen where they are AND lovingly invite them to a higher plane.

You can love your teen AND make decisions they don’t like (ahem…encourage them DO things they don’t like…like learn life skills that are HARD and BORING and NOBODY ELSE HAS TO DO THEM, MOM!)

You can be “old” AND “out of style” AND a grounded force your teen trusts.

It doesn’t have to be either/or.

AND can transform your parenting!

Things have changed in two years!

He does the dishes without being asked.

He makes his bed every day.

He asks, “How can I help, Mom?”

I see him with his scriptures and journal in hand every morning.

His homecoming talk gave me a peek into the work God has been doing with him over the past 24 months.

He’s always been an amazing young man, and I take no credit for that.

But something is different.

A lot of things are different.

Holier. Happier. More peaceful.

And my heart is overflowing with gratitude.

We finished addressing wedding announcements on our way out the door to pick up our missionary from the airport.

We listened to a heartfelt mission report and marveled at the growth the Lord can orchestrate in two years.

We planned for a bridal shower and an upcoming sealing.

We packed two grown boys and one teenager into a single bedroom.

We went to the Mesa Temple open house and marveled at the beautiful updates to an old building.

We played games and ate lots of food and soaked in all the hours of togetherness.

Life is full.

God is good.

And there is much to be grateful for in this crazy world.

When they were little, it was hard to imagine any of them leaving home.

Now it is hard to get them all in the same place.

It’s been two years, but we are all under the same roof for a few days.

I can’t think of anything better.
