Collected over a few weeks, these aren't necessarily up-to-date - but they're good.

Raising a family of missional disciples - I love this idea, and there are some good suggestions here. Zachary Veron.

"It's not fair!" - When and why a parent needs to be an impartial judge. Jonathon Holt.

The measure of productivity, as a parent, is not necessarily in how many items I can cross of my "To Do" list, important as those items may be.
