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…

Your alarm clock is the crying baby wanting to be fed. Before you can stumble out of bed to take care of the cries your toddler comes through your bedroom door wanting snuggles or begging for breakfast (it depends on the day.) No matter what you do you can’t seem to get ahead and have a pleasant morning time with your little children. You want peace. And you crave structure. But what do you do? This was me a few months ago. I would wake up to my children already under my feet, and the rest of the morning I…

* Disclaimer: this post may contain affiliate links. We are about to add a third little one to our family. But a question I get asked often is “what tips do I have when it comes to transitioning from one to two kids?” It was a little over two years ago now that our family made the transition to having two kids (two and under by the way.) And I will say right now that I don’t know everything and everything I did in our transition to two kids worked. But a lot of what I did and what I…

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…

*This post contains affiliate links. Thank you so much for shopping with my links! If you are currently in the season of mothering young ones you are probably up all night. Your time to yourself is very short if you can find any at all. And your quiet time with Lord may be falling to the back burner. I get it! Right now I am currently in the season of motherhood where I am constantly surrounded by little ones all day long (and even throughout the night.) Reading my Bible was not a priority of my for many years. And…

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…
