    What the Overabundance of Toys Is Teaching Our Kids

    Toys seem to be a pain point for many moms and many homes. But it just typical to have this overabundance of toys for kids in this generation. We don’t question it. As a Christian mom I started seeing a lot of unhealthy attitudes develop in my kids. And the majority of those attitudes were stemming from the toys that we had accumulated. I know the root of the attitudes were of course from sin but it always went back to the toys. So I was done. I was ready to throw everything out and become a “no toy” family.…

    I’m about to share the basics and all the details of how to actually keep your house clean at all times. It’s going to be simple and straightforward. We all want a clean home.

    Creating a Structured Routine for Peaceful Mornings with Littles

    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…

    Tips to Smoothly Transition from One to Two Kids

    * 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…

    How to Streamline Your Homemaking to Make Your Life More Peaceful and Efficient

    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…

    Practical Ways to Make Your Home a Ministry

    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…
