Mothering Pyramid, Summer Swim, and a Beautiful Baptism

As mothers, our hearts really want to spend the majority of our time Helping Things Go Right instead of Fixing Things that are Going Wrong, right? :)  I was asked to teach a parenting class a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but compile all of my favorite parenting mentors into one doable visual aid.    

I know that for myself, when I'm distracted and or in a hurry, I tend to start from the top of the pyramid with corrections and consequences when something goes wrong.  But, the key to this pyramid is to start from the bottom with our own personal foundation :)  Each section of the pyramid builds upon itself starting from the bottom up.  When something isn't flowing in a particular section of the pyramid, always look below for the solution.  

Loved this beautiful day :)
