Your alarm clock is the crying baby wanting to be fed. Before you can stumble out of bed to take care of the cries your toddler comes through your bedroom door wanting snuggles or begging for breakfast (it depends on the day.) No matter what you do you can’t seem to get ahead and have a pleasant morning time with your little children. You want peace. And you crave structure. But what do you do? This was me a few months ago. I would wake up to my children already under my feet, and the rest of the morning I…

* Disclaimer: this post may contain affiliate links. We are about to add a third little one to our family. But a question I get asked often is “what tips do I have when it comes to transitioning from one to two kids?” It was a little over two years ago now that our family made the transition to having two kids (two and under by the way.) And I will say right now that I don’t know everything and everything I did in our transition to two kids worked. But a lot of what I did and what I…

In a few months we are going to be welcoming the third little addition to our family. But I know that will also come with some change. So I have been taking steps to prepare myself, my boys, and my home for the transition. Over the past few months I have been incorporating different systems to hopefully help both myself and my toddlers transition to becoming a family of five a little easier. Whether you are getting ready to welcome a new little one, you are freshly postpartum, or are just looking for some ways to make your life easier…

I always get questions from women who are wanting to know how to do it all when it comes to homemaking. They look at the Proverbs 31 Woman and see how efficient but peaceful her life is. How can they get that too? There is so much that goes into taking care of a home and a family. Every day is different, but at the same time we do the same tasks each day. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the mess and responsibilities. But I believe as daughters of God we can and should have a peaceful and efficient…

I love talking about making our homes ministries. This is the place your family spends a majority of their lives. Your home should be peaceful and reflect heaven. God’s Spirit should be able to thrive in our homes. “Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.” (2 Chronicles 7:15-16) But what does making your home a ministry look like in a practical…

Over the past few years I have started to learn how to recognize spiritual warfare and ways to combat the schemes of the enemy. I feel like many of us often forget how the enemy works. We don’t realize the power he possess and the ways he will use it against us. And I think we are often naive because we are not taught how much the spiritual can affect our physical. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces…

Winter is hard when you have toddlers in your home. And it can be so easy to just turn the tv on to occupy them when it’s too cold to get outside. I am so guilty of this myself. But I have really tried to reduce our screen time this winter. Sometimes that means getting creative. And sometimes that means I put a little extra work on myself. I do…
