a moment of your valuable time?

We’ve been sneaking around a bit, hinting at the big changes coming your way at the MOB Society in February. We’re getting a new design, launching our first team book, and maybe even adding some new writers. We’re over-the-moon excited about all this!

But what we’d really love is to know what YOU think about this boy mom community. Would you take just five minutes of your time and answer nine brief questions about your experience here? Click here to take survey! We value your opinions friends, so BE HONEST. Be BRUTALLY honest (but do it gently ;) )

And thank you!

(pssst…tomorrow we’re announcing the winners of the photo contest! Don’t miss it!)

Growing Godly Men {Link-Up Day!}

Today’s the day!

Let’s all benefit from each other and share our struggles and insights about raising godly men. If you have a post on that subject please link it up below. It can be a recent post, or a (not so) recent post. No restrictions except that it be based on the Truth of the Word and be specifically about your attempts to raise godly men. Be sure to share as much of the title in your link name as possible so that other moms can look for what they need.

(Looking for a great resource on raising godly men? We recommend Plants Grown Up, by Doorposts.) Link up!



YOU are the Panelists: What About Love?

You have just become a panelist for today’s post. Are you ready?

Here’s the scenario…

I’m in the car with my four-year-old and the subject of love comes up. We talk for a little bit, until he asks…

“What does love mean?”

Uhhh….how exactly DO you answer that question?

It seems so easy, but I couldn’t find the right words to explain it to him, beyond “It means you really like or care for something.” It just didn’t seem adequate.

We’ve been talking about love all month here at the MOB, so to wrap it all up, we want to hear your thoughts…

How would you answer my four-year-old’s question?

How do you explain love to your boys at the age they are at now?
