Great idea for a group. I am glad this is here, so I can gain some great advice from other moms out there!

Jennifer Eckenrode Kopinski replied to Meredith Cook's discussion 'expecting 4th in 4 years, hoping for VBAC and starting homeschooling...any advice!' in the group Kids and Parenting Corner

Congratulations! It is such a wonderful blessing that God has given you 4 children! I can relate to how you may be feeling, as I also have children who are very close in age. My oldest two are 13 months apart, and my third is 21 months younger than…

Jennifer Eckenrode Kopinski replied to Lindy Meyer's discussion 'What to do with zuchinni'

My family and I love pasta. Sometimes I sautee zucchini and throw it into the pasta sauce. If your kids like spaghetti, this is a good way to make it even healthier without them noticing too much.

Yeah, I have found some things about age 4 to be difficult, but I also have found it to be really fun too! I am planning on homeschooling this fall. That probably addresses my educational philosophy! I am looking forward to it, and in the mean time,…

That can be a rough age. Not sure what your educational philosophy is, but maybe a few mornings at a preschool would be good for him?

Jennifer Eckenrode Kopinski replied to Maureen's discussion 'Why homeschooling?'

My children are 4, 3 and 18 months, and I have decided to start homeschooling my 4 year old son in the fall. My reasons for deciding to homeschool are 1) I think kids need to spend a lot of time around their parents when they are little, especially.…

You are right about picking the battles. I believe in this and aim to "not sweat the small stuff", but admit that I am not great at that. Actually, just reading that part kind of helped me to "reset" and remember how important…

SAHMinIL replied to Jennifer Eckenrode Kopinski's discussion 'challenges with my 4 year old'

Do you have examples of some to the issues you are discipline him on? I believe that kids need discipline, but I also believe in not sweating the small stuff. In other words I pick my battles.

challenges with my 4 year old

I have been having a hard time trying to figure out how to deal with my 4 year old's attention-seeking issues. He can be quite difficult at times, and it seems like it is just in order to get someone's attention. I try to praise him and give him good attention as much as I can, but he certainly ends up with a lot of time outs and disciplining from me on a daily basis, just about. I have 2 other children as well, so my attention is split up 3 ways. He often acts as though he gets no attention,…See More

I wanted to comment on an article you wrote, though I am not sure how to get to it right now, but it was on the topic of 'the big family'. You were commenting on the fact that infancy is a hard stage for you and you were wondering how…

Jennifer Eckenrode Kopinski replied to Danielle Bean's discussion 'Introduce yourself!'

Hi Danielle. I have been enjoying the Faith and Family blog. All the writers have such good insight and it is helpful for me, as a stay at home mom of 3 little ones (ages 4, 3, and 1), to hear where other Catholic moms are coming from and what they…

Profile Information

Tell us about yourself: I have been married for 5 years (this past May) and my husband and I have 3 children. Dominic is 4, Stella is 3, and Gianna is 18 months! I love being able to stay at home with them full time and see them grow and develop with each of their unique personalities! I like to run, read, listen to music, dance (especially with my kids), cook, bake, and teach my kids! I also enjoy watching movies with my husband, and going out on dates with him, when we get the chance!
