The Art of Letting Go

So I recently decided to actually let go of something and so as I went through that process and did my daily journaling, I’ve decided to share that experience with you all.

Like many of you, I’ve never truly understood the term “let it go”. I thought I understood and I often thought I did let things go and some things I have. I’ve never really been the type to hold grudges or be angry and bitter…

What God May Be Trying to Teach You

My husband and I have been married for 8 years since this past January and I have been struggling to understand why it seems that we continue to go in a circle. I’ve prayed and asked God, “what is the deal?” (Yes, sometimes just like that cause I be having to keep it real with Him), “why are we going in circles?”. Asking this question a couple of things came to mind that He reminded me.

1. What…

5 Non-Messy, Independent Toys to Occupy Your Toddlers While You Work

Hey guys, today I wanted to share some of my favorite go to toys to keep my toddlers occupied.

Confessions of a Stay at Home Mom

I decided to write this post in the midst of my frustration and as an attempt 

to be transparentt. But why is it a need for moms to feel perfect?

At least, thats my pressure. I have this inner naging need to have it all together. House clean, meals planned and cooked, kids routines down, animals routines down, husband’s routine down, home school on point, children put together and the list goes…

Welcome to Money “Matters”

Hi! Welcome to yet another new section on my blog called “Money Matters“, I just love that name because it’s a play on words… money matters because our financial state does play a part in how we’re honoring God; and money “matters” like different subjects and topics of money. It just came to me one day in conversation with my husband and I just love it! :)

Anywhoooo… as I said in my goals post,…

4 Tips for Communicating In A Relationship

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,” James 1:19 (NIV)

Marriage is hard. I’ve heard, the first year is the hardest but I beg to differ. My husband and I have been married for 8 years (since Jan 09) and I would say the first coupleof years is probably the hardest. Of course I would also say that the saying…

I have wanted to homeschool since before I had children, got married, or even knew who I was going to marry. BUT, I…

Continuously Praise His Name In ALL Circumstances

All throughout the Bible, it is written of our Father’s unconditional love for us. This song reminds me of His amazing, unfailing love for me that I will never understand, but is learning to except.

“but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”–Romans 5:8

This song reminds me of why I will ALWAYS praise God regardless of my circumstances.

I hope that you…

Our Word() for 2017

Hello beautiful people, I wanted to come and share our family’s word or words for this year, 2017. 

So my husband and I sat down with our individual lists with our possible word for the year. As we took turns reading and discussing our Word from our top 10 list, we were able to better define and clarify what this year was/is going to be about. 

So at the end, we were left with 2 words that we…

8 Habits to Break to Build a Stronger Family Unit

I came up with these habits to break by reflecting on my own family and prayfully searching for ways to make our family better. When building our families or life in general, I don’t think we ever “arrive”. You may not see how these things stagnant your family but as a whole, they can be very damaging to the life of our family unit.

Skipping Church- I look at church like weekly therapy sessions…

New Goals for 2017

I know I’m not the only one who enjoys reading goal posts. I think they are so motivating, encouraging, and uplifting; so today I decided to share my 2017 goals. I don’t have details such as amounts for privacy but just know, these goals are more broken down in reality. Also, I’m actually still breaking them down.

I have my goals broken down by categories but not really in order of importance.

 This is one of my favorite worship songs. It is so powerful and true. What a reminder about what Jesus has done for us. 

“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” –Mt 26:28 NIV

So enjoy and worship God with me. 

Where’s Your Resting Place?

Today was a busy day. The kids woke up early early (atleast for us anyway ) and my husband and I did not hear them wake up on the monitor. So instead of coming in the room to get us they decided to head downstairs… (so many horrid thoughts, I know).

That was a rude awakening. I hate rude awakenings because mornings are hard enough for me without them.

But alas.. we had a problem and I had to…
