Five Ways to Help Teens with Moving
A reader asked, "We are moving across the country to North Carolina this spring or summer for a great job opportunity our family has been praying for. My 14 yr old son is taking it very hard (he is a believer). My husband and I encourage him and our other 4 children, and we concentrate…
Save on Hotels with Christian Hospitality Networks
We travel a lot. No, really, a LOT. As authors and speakers, we're on the road more months than we're home now. We used to picture speakers as those glamorous people who flew in to the conference, stayed in the nicest rooms, and had everything taken care of. Then we became speakers. We didn't want to…
Cheap Family Travel – Food
  The never-failing question “What’s for supper?” doesn’t go away when you’re on the road. The problem is that even eating from the dollar menu, a fast food stop could be $20 to $30–for lunch! We've taken our family of ten from coast to coast, and we’ve learned how to keep the crew fed and happy on much…
Cheap Family Travel – Transportation and Lodging
The summer is nearly upon us and that means vacation time for many families. Or maybe you're planning a "stay-cation" because the economy is soft and expenses are simply too high.

Q: What Can I Do When We’re Always In The Car?
We have a large family, and the dynamic is so very different. It seems like we're spending most of the time getting the kids to their various activities and not a lot of coming together any more, aside from meals.  We have been through this at different times ourselves, and frankly, it doesn't take a…
Pushing Mama Up a Mountain
I was so excited about taking our children to Yellowstone National Park. I'd been there with my family as a child and some of the happiest memories of my father, who's been in heaven many years are centered around that area. Unfortunately, I tore a ligament in my knee on one of our conference trips…
Sometimes Even The Youngs Are Speechless
Sometimes even the Youngs are speechless. It's rare,  I know, but it does happen! Last night we drove up to our house, hours late, exhausted, but delighted to be home. We had just finished 8563 miles, 20 states, five conventions and more than a month away. Our grown sons met us in the front yard.…
