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. Clutter isn’t appealing. Dirt isn’t welcoming. Depending on your home, personality, capacity, and season of life, having a clean house may be easier said than done. But this is what you need to do. To keep your house clean at all times you need a cleaning system for each day, week, month, and season. Let’s break this down. Each day you need to do a quick…

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…

So I’m pretty sure we all have realized the growing cost of groceries and just living in general. Sometimes it may feel hard to keep your head above water in the economy today. I completely understand. Around a year ago I was getting tired of seeing our grocery bill each week. It was almost always going over the budget we had set which didn’t make sense to me. For the most part I cook everything from scratch. We rarely buy pre-made or packaged foods. I try to buy groceries as healthy as I can but not in excess. (We all…

Our homes are where the majority of us spend most of our time. It is where we raise our little ones, where our husbands come home from their work, and where we decide what type of atmosphere we will establish. Like everything else in life we can decide to establish one of two atmospheres in our homes. We can bring in confusion, stress, and strife. Or we can welcome peace, kindness, and righteousness. Which do you think is from the Lord? 1 Corinthians 14:33 says, “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” Our God does not want His people to be in confusion. He doesn’t…

I don’t know about you but I love the fall season. Everything from the cooler weather, the changing leaves, and every feeling that comes with autumn, I just love it! This fall season I really want to see the Lord and His beauty. With having two little boys who are constantly eager to discover and investigate I want to be able to show them God’s creation, answer every question with “because God,” and establish traditions that will always point to Him. So this fall season I am planning some faith filled activities and traditions for my toddlers and for our…

Mornings can either be good or bad. And depending on what season of life you’re in, what time you begin your day may differ. Right now in the current season I am in with two little boys it is very hard to set a routine. With different sleep schedules, unexpected moments, and the way toddlers view time a strict morning routine has not been possible. So in this post I want to speak to mamas of littles who may not have the ability to have a designated quiet time in the morning, who can’t wake up before her kids, or…
