    How to Actually Have a Restful Sabbath with Toddlers

    August 26, 2024

    So right now in my season of life I am constantly doing something. Whether that is changing diapers, cleaning messes, or feeding littles mouths, the responsibilities I have don’t ever stop. Even on my sabbaths. When I entered this busy season of motherhood with babies and now toddlers my sabbaths began to feel unmanageable and just not restful. I was so stressed that I wasn’t resting “like God intended” and that my sabbaths were not pleasing to Him. But that’s just so not true. Matthew 11:28-30 tells us, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give…

But sometimes I just want to rest.  A while ago I just wanted to find the answer on how to find true rest in this tiring season of life.

    How I Prepare My Home for the Weekend

    January 5, 2023

    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…

    Why You Should Take Time to Rest

    April 19, 2021

    We live in a world that is full of go, go, go. There is no room to stop and take time to ourselves. We have to keep up with everyone else, go to all the social events, make your way in the world, and educate yourself so that you can get ahead of your peers.
