Nap time equals quiet time
Nap time (aka quiet time) is sacred to me. It’s my time to be quiet, read, rest, do projects, clean stuff, make things, or socialize. Granted, I’ve been blessed with good little sleepers (eight times out of ten my five year old still sleeps!) I, like every other mom of toddlers, know what it’s like …
Happy New Year Interviews!
Welcome to a new year! Welcome to that season when goals, and plans, motivation, and resolutions are at their ultimate peak! I really appreciate this time actually. I love the focus it brings to my life, especially as it pertains to my job here at home with my children. Pinterest has been a real source …
Get Moving Get Brain Power
Just came across this great article for parents looking to help their children improve their math learning and reading capabilities… According to these studies, if you’re a parent you’d better get your kids moving, or signed up for that PE class! Then, when I read the effects on memory and alertness, it made me think, …
Come CLEAN! And Save Some Green…
A “crunchy mama” yes, and a “penny pincher” Oh Yeah!! And I found two new ways to do both at once! how great is that?! I’m happy to say I’m BACK on the cloth diaper train! It’s been two weeks of a full-time go at cloth, and I can honestly say I am SO glad …
Fruitful Vine
To me, the idea of wives flourishing in the home as “fruitful vines” means that whatever station or season of life you’re in, you are made to flourish right then and there. To be fruitful and multiply… back in the day, it probably did in fact mean, have more and more offspring. But, what does …
Right Between The Eyes
While listening to a training call monday night, I was struck by a phrase that made me laugh, and then think seriously about what it could mean for me and those around me. Sure, you could stay in your boxers, or your saggy butt sweat pants all day while you’re at home, but is that …
Something’s happening…
This morning I woke up to the usual. Our daughters running in our room at 6:00 am saying, “mommy, I want breakfast now, and Mommy, I’m poopy!” But today I realized its the third or fourth day in a row I’ve not awoken instantly mad (believe it or not) and I’ve managed to have self-control …
Ballerina Tea Party fit for a 4 year old queen!
Isabella’s birthday party was a great success! She was thrilled to dress up, have friends over, dance, open presents, drink tea and of course eat CAKE! She got all she really wanted; a pink layer cake, “dress ups”, ballerina stuff and a tea party with GIRL friends. Really, I think it meant the most to …
Abiding Mom
This is not meant to be offensive to those supermoms out there who choose to go it alone, and do it all perfectly in their own strength. Or, maybe it is. It’s not about me doing a good job at being the best mommy ever, all though that’s really what I want my children to …
School Is Now In Session?
What was i thinking about? edgumication. That’s right. how to get schooled. This is a huge topic up for serious debate. There are obvious flaws, as well as benefits to all the different types of education available out there. Let’s start at the point we’re at in the life of our children… We put our …
