Do you ever feel like you are being watched? Now, I don’t mean in the creepy, stalkerish way. Instead, I guess I mean… observed.

As a mom, it’s easy to feel like every thing I do, the moment I step in to a public place with my children, is being taken in and even scrutinized. I know this to be true partly by the looks and stares I see people throw our way, sometimes not so inconspicuously. Perhaps I am overly sensitive to this fact.

Or, perhaps not.

According to a book I read years ago - "Five Love Languages," by Gary Chapman - there are five ways in which each of us express and receive love:

  1. Quality Time
  2. Words of Affirmation
  3. Gifts
  4. Acts of Service
  5. Physical Touch

Each are pretty self-explanatory and I’m sure you could recognize which most speaks to you just by glancing at the list, but what about your children? Which one would best describe each of their love languages?

Topicsblogging, friendships, moms online

I started blogging when I was pregnant with baby #5 - my Benjamin, who is now four years old. A good friend convinced me that it would be a great way to stay in touch with her after she moved out of state. In fact, she begged me to start a blog until I relented!

Christine Young

Christine is married to her best friend, Ray, and together they have six very active children, all age 8 and younger, five of whom are boys. With so many boys there sure is a lot of testosterone running around the house, keeping her active. This mama is no stranger to busy either, as most of her days are filled with being a wife, laundry-hater, dish-washer, and even a teacher, homeschooling the four older children. If that wasn’t enough, Christine is the proud owner and author of FromDatestoDiapers.com, where she shares about her life with all the little ones and the many misadventures in which they find themselves. She also offers advice and encouragement to moms, and writes about her thoughts and opinions on pretty much everything, especially things that make family life FUN.
