A few years ago when I first became a mom I didn’t know what to do with my time between feedings and changing diapers. It was a whole new world to me and I was going just one day at a time. It was just me, alone with my new baby. I was trying to heal and learn and figure what this new season of life was going to be. So I filled a lot of my time with tv. It was on pretty much all day. I binged series after series. In between cleaning, cooking, and mothering I was…
If you are in the toddler stage of motherhood, this topic may feel impossible. Self-control does not come naturally to kids. You know…They want what the want and they want it now. And if they don’t get it they may start with the tears. Some kids go straight to the screaming and tantrums. It’s all that their little minds understand. But praise the Lord that He has placed us here to teach them. Self-control is so important to teach your kids. The earlier the better. And I promise, no matter how you may feel currently, it is not impossible. Before…
Fasting is mentioned so many times in the Bible. And we are told of the importance of fasting and prayer over and over again. But how do we set apart that time to fast while we are in the busy seasons of motherhood. We are chasing littles from dawn until dusk. Often times we forget to eat but that doesn’t count as fasting. And when you are pregnant or nursing you can’t really go a day without eating. That’s what I always thought fasting was, just not eating. In Scriptures that is pretty much all we see. But fasting is…
In my last post I mentioned how disciplining your kids with God’s Word can make your mothering so much easier. And apparently that peaked so many mothers’ interests. I have had so many questions since then about how I do this and if I can share examples. So that’s what this post is going to be. God gives us His Word “for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (1 Tim. 3:16b-17) And I believe that includes training, correcting, and disciplining our kids. Like…
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…
When you become a wife your prioritizes should change from what they once were. And when you become a mom they change again. Then when you have another child and another child and so on, again your prioritizes will need to change so that you can get everything in order. That is life. You must continually be reworking things and reorganizing your time so that you can be the best version of yourself and get your responsibilities done in a smooth manner. I have been a wife for over four years now. It took me a while to figure out…
Anointing your home is not a normal thing. It’s honestly rarely heard of among families, believers or not. So is it actually biblical to anoint your home? There is no commandment in the Bible that says “thou shalt anoint the doorpost of your dwelling place.” Yet there are many things that we have to figure out on our own, being led by the Holy Spirit, in this day and age. So is it biblical to anoint your home? Let’s dive into this question by starting with a different question. What is anointing? Whenever we see someone anointing something or someone…
