TagMonotony & Drudgery
Day in day out, same old same old. Cleaning, folding, teaching, shopping, another Monday came and went, when will the monotony end? When will the drudgery of life as a mom and older sister end? We do the same things every week every day all year! What does it matter if we do it happily or sorrowfully?

Mud All Over Me…
I had mud all over me. I was laughing hysterically. In the middle of the mud fight in our creek I looked over my shoulder. I saw my handsome 7 yr old brother and my other 2 little sisters. They were jumping up and down in the creek throwing mud and laughing at each other. In that moment I paused and thought to myself: I have everything I could ever need or want right here at my home. What could..

It cultivates lady like qualities in both of you and builds..

It’s Worth the Time & Tears
Sometimes life at home can be hard. Sometimes it can be very hard! And every-time I write a post on this page I think about that. No one can accomplish everything perfectly. During the day, stuck in the moment, it’s hard to remember and even ACT on what you read in your devotionals and encouraging articles. But let me assure you, whatever you do in your home, for your children, for your..
Cookies at 10 O’clock at Night?!
Baking sweet things for your family can just brighten your whole day! The other night, the boys wanted me to make them cookies. It was about 9:00 at night and I was already very tired from the long day. I said no at first but who can refuse 4 begging boys? 😉 So Hannah and I mustered up some strength and made a special cookie recipe just to surprise them! Cake Batter Cookies with white choc...
Guarding Your Heart
