At the beginning of my motherhood journey I relied on my own words and wisdom each and every day. And we know what Proverbs says about that. I was struggling to say the least. And each year as our boys go older I knew something had to change in the way we were parenting. It’s so easy to look at all the parenting advice out there. Hundreds of Instagram accounts have the answers. You can read parenting book after parenting book. And even the advice packaged as “Christian parenting” all looks different. So what’s right? That’s one of my favorite…

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…

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…

There is such a need for women to get theirselves and their homes in order for the Lord. And if you are a mother that includes getting your mothering in order. You are raising children for the kingdom of God. The Lord did not just bless you with your children to raise to a certain age just so they can leave and live their own lives. He blessed you with them to raise as disciples for His work. Mothering in such a difficult job but it is so needed. And it’s time that we start getting it in order for…

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…
