Make lots of opportunities for rest & reset throughout your day, Mama. Because keeping the tiny humans alive is sometimes exhausting. Even God knew when to rest 🙂 Notice I said MAKE, because some days it must be intentional or it just won’t happen. When we push ourselves to keep going, keep cleaning, keep working when we [...]

Happy Wife, Happy Life…Really?
I'm sure you've heard these common phrases, "HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE" & "If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy." But I've been thinking about why such phrases irk me a bit and really seem like a myth. And in all honesty, downright selfish. I'm as guilty as the next wife/mama in times past making everyone in [...]

Let’s Chat!
Are you a mom of littles who is so passionate about mothering them well but also afraid to admit you feel burnt out? I CAN HELP! Are you an empty-nester (or almost) and feel stuck in the thought loop of "what's next" because you haven't allowed yourself to keep dreaming about all that God has [...]
Calling All Mamas!
As a former stay-at-home and veteran homeschool mama, I know full well that as mamas, WE set the tone for our homes and even our kids attitudes. When we are excited about something it stirs their excitement! Living in the northeast, where nice weather is fleeting, summertime with my kiddos was always so fun, as [...]
Back To School Prayer For Your Children
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure as your children are ready to go back to school? Homeschool, public, private, online, or hybrid? Supplies, uniforms, lunch boxes, sanitizer? The lists of supplies needed can seem as endless as the concerns you may have. But what a wonderful privilege we have as parents that we can pray for our [...]
Training Up a Child Means Being Their Example
Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he's old he will not depart from it." Many parents love to quote this promise from God's word, but if we are not actively keeping the command of training, then we cannot expect to claim the second part of the [...]
Be You!
Sometimes we see others doing the exact thing we ourselves are called to do. It's so tempting to compare ourselves to others and feel like we don't measure up. Remember that what you may see in them today is what has taken them years to grow in and gain skill. It's great to have wonderful [...]
Homeschooling is Teaching How to Learn, Not What
The homeschooling of my children has been the most rewarding journey of my calling as a teacher. It has allowed us to enjoy so much more family time, which I will never regret one bit. We have truly all learned and grown up together. For they have taught me some of the most valuable things [...]
A Mother’s Influence
When I read Proverbs 31, I don't often read the very first verse that says that these words recorded by King Lemuel were actually the things that his own mother taught him. The wisdom of searching and waiting for an exceptional woman to become his bride and mother of his future children. Just how many [...]
