It’s time once again for Heather from Family Volley to share with us some Parenting Tips as part of her “Parenting Tips” here on The Idea Room. I realize that today is a Wednesday and usually Heather’s series runs every other Thursday here on The Idea Room. I had to make a little rearrangement this week so you get her a day early! Here’s Heather in her own words…

LOVE IT!!!! You took the words right out of my mouth and said everything that I have been feeling about the debates and elections. I have always felt that I have to be making a difference as a mother. Thank you for letting me and I’m sure a lot of others out there know that we are not alone!
Well said!!!!
Heather Johnson says
Thank you Tracy. I am with you. Mothers have to stick together. We are shaping the future, and we need to support each other in that pursuit. We can make all the difference in our own families.
What a beautiful post! Man! So inspiring! I am not a mom. but this is so going in my mom file to make sure I do when I have kids!! I hope all mothes and future mothers of america read this and do this for their kids too!!
brilliant.
Ah, Tara, Thank you.
LOVE!
Thanks Katie.
I really love your thoughts as I struggle with the same ones – who can really do anything to change the situation we are in. But after reading the final part of your post, I no longer feel hopeless/helpless. I do have a house to tend to…regardless of who wins in the next election. Thanks for the reminder of what is truly important!
Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your comment. It can be a really helpless feeling. So glad this has lifted some of the “weight”. What we do in our own homes is much bigger than any “vote.”
I think many Americans, including myself, feel similarly. Thank you for putting things into an inspiring perspective!
Thanks Steph. Your comment is really kind.
This was a great post! This reminds me how important it is to teach our kids the blessings that we have by living in this land.
Amanda, I totally agree. We want our kids to know how blessed they are to live in America.

Thanks Carolina!
I love the line, “Forget the White House! I have my own House to run.”
Amen!
Thanks Suzanne, It is true for all of us. I am learning to stop worrying about what I can’t control, and put that energy in what I can control.
