Life gets tiring. Doing the same thing every single day can seem useless. I get it. Recently I fell into the mindset of feeling trapped. Cleaning the same messes, changing the same diapers, having the same responsibilities each and every day seemed like it would never end. And it won’t for a while. This is the season I am in right now. And there is a reason for that. But what does cleaning the same messes have to do with living for the Kingdom? It has everything to do with it! Through the mundane days and seemingly useless responsibilities I…

The concept of anointing is a physical act of welcoming God’s Spirit in. All throughout the Bible we see the places or people that were anointed with oil were a representative of our Lord—the temple, David, Jacob’s altar, etc. This acting of anointing things with oil is very sacred and is honestly kind of forgotten in today’s mainstream church. But when you dive into learning more about it, it’s such a beautiful act. And I believe as wives and mothers we should be anointing our homes on a regular basis. If you want to know more or how to even…

There is something about the power of prayer. We are given the ability to speak with authority over the enemy in our Savior’s name. And there is something so beautiful about praying over your home. You are the gatekeeper of your home (or room/space) and you have the authority over what you allow into your walls. And let me just say, the enemy is after your family. He wants to divide and send fear to anyone he can. But we are granted the ability to pray with authority in our Lord’s name. He is stronger than the enemy and everything…

If you are a wife, mother, or a single girl who has her own place, you are the gatekeeper to your home. You have a special and important job that God has placed on you to do each day. Our homes should be a sacred place. A place where our families escape the outside world. A place where we welcome people into. A place where we are called to fellowship and worship. A place where we raise the next generation, minister to others, and form a lasting legacy. That is why we need to spiritually care for our homes. It…

A little over a year ago I went on a mission to start living a more simple life. I was tired of the clutter and excess things that we somehow accumulated. And with a little baby on the way, I knew my life was soon going to be too busy to mess with extra stuff. So I started implementing some things that helped me develop a more simple lifestyle. There is so much that you can do to simplify your life. And I don’t want to take you to the extreme of creating a capsule wardrobe, having every surface in…

You can read all the books, take all the classes, and watch all the videos. But you’ll never be prepared to give birth if this is your first time. Right now I am pregnant with our second. And during my first pregnancy I did all those things. I knew everything that had to do with the physical aspect of giving birth. All of that is so good to know and I’m definitely not telling you to not do your research in those areas! But what I believe is more important than knowing about the physical side to birth is knowing…

When I first got married I knew that I wanted to set a solid foundation for our weekends. That is when my husband was home from work, we would often entertain guests, and it was a time of rest for us. And I wanted our weekends to be as organized and stress free as possible. Every Friday is my prep day and the day that I reset my home and heart so that my family and I can have a nice, peaceful weekend and Shabbat. Here are the things that I like to do each Friday to reset my home…
