Do you bustle taking your kids from one activity to the next, outwitting boredom, helping them be a part of everything that sounds like a fun experience? Most of us do. But what do our children really need? Perhaps something altogether is best to prepare them for the future.

Hello! We are Patrick and Ruth Schwenk, the creators of The Better Mom (www.thebettermom.com) and The Dig for Kids (www.thedigforkids.com). We met while attending the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. We have been married for sixteen years and currently have four children ages six to thirteen. We love serving in ministry, spending time together as a family, reading, drinking lots of coffee, and resting in God’s grace.
