I know how hard a busy season of life can be. Your life may be full but it’s so easy to let so many things slide. It’s a time when you start to decide what is important and necessary to you. One of the things that tends to be put to the backburner during times like these is studying the Bible. And I have been guilty of this. I keep pushing my quiet time back to the end of the day and then either forget to do it or something else comes up. So how can you prioritize studying your…
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…

For me it has been important to keep my pregnancy as natural as possible and do things that will support my body through this time. I did a lot of research during my first pregnancy and incorporated many things through both that have helped me tremendously. And, from many requests, I have finally put together a list of pregnancy must haves for the natural mamas. So whether this…
Taking the time to rest during your week is so important. The Bible speaks on this in so many places and it is so important to God. He established a special day of rest to remind us just how important it is to Him. But if you’re like me, applying yourself to actually rest can be difficult. My mind is constantly going, there are things that I see that need cleaning, and so many responsibilities are just never done. So how can I find time to rest? The concept of rest is such a mental thing. If you don’t set…
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…
Hanukkah is right around the corner! And there are so many traditions and activities to do during this week long feast. This is our first year actually participating in this holiday as a family (besides having a two month old last year.) So I’ve been gathering information and resources to make this holiday special for us. If you are a busy mom who wants to make this Festival of Lights something special for her family but is not too sure where to start, I’ve got you! Here are some resources, recipes, decorations, and ideas to incorporate into your Hanukkah this…
We tell each other, “Don’t settle.” We mean, “Don’t settle for less than what you want and deserve.” Stand firm on what’s important to you. Hold out for your truest desires. Wait for God’s best for you. It seems a lot of us have developed a stubbornness on that front that is necessary to keep from bending. However, we’ve learned not to settle or bend on ‘our own’ values – what’s important ‘to us.” What’s sad is that we’ve given ourselves permission in many cases to “settle” in regards to God’s’ values – what’s important to…
