10 things a daughter needs to hear (from her Dad)

Mickey Mansfield — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 00:00:53 +0000

She’s two. This won’t last long. There is so much that she needs to know- that my daughter needs to hear – so much that I need to tell her. She’s growing up so fast. I’ve watched it happen with her brothers (her oldest brother will be 9 this summer and I can’t...

It’s the little things that matter the most

Mickey Mansfield — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 03:38:31 +0000

I know we have all heard the term, ‘It’s the little things that matter the most.‘ If you have kids, you know how true this is! Raising kids can be the toughest thing many of us will ever do. We have the opportunity to take something so small, so fragile, so innocent, and mold it into something...

Undivided attention

Mickey Mansfield — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 03:38:24 +0000

“Ethan… Ethan…. Hey, Buddy we are over here.” That is what I heard from his new soccer coach today at his first practice. Here he was not paying attention to his coach when he was at practice. Why?
