    I stood at the kitchen sink last night washing dishes and realized that I could not remember the last time I had done dishes. For the past 3 or more months my husband has taken care of that. I might wash a dish or two here or there  and I was okay with loading the…

      As 2017 comes to a close I figured I should finish it out with one of my biggest accomplishments this year, which was starting this blog. As you know I am still pregnant with twins, but I am on the final countdown. One of the questions that I get the most is how is this…

    I am now three weeks into the new school year and 15 weeks pregnant with twins. To say September has been interesting would be an understatement to say the least. I have been planning this post now for several days/weeks. I am finally forcing myself to sit down and write it. I find it funny…

    I know I have done an awful job writing this summer. I thought since I have more time that I would get more writing done and not less. It’s actually the opposite. I work well with structure. My summer was completely unstructured so it was hard to make myself sit down and write. Also, being…

    Yesterday was my daughter’s first birthday. Since I started this blog back in April, I have had the mental battle of trying to decide if I would eve write about her birth story. This week especially I have gone back and forth with myself. At this time I am not going to write it, mainly…

    I want to start this post by saying that this is obviously an opinion post. I know that being a  stay-at-home versus working mama is a fairly controversial topic. Mamas on both sides are very opinionated and passionate about their feelings,  and I just wanted to share mine. My husband says I am very opinionated…

    We have been doing a lot of work in our house lately. I commented the other day that I felt like I have worked harder since being out of school for the summer than I did teaching. As I was working the other day the verse from Ecclesiastes 9:10  about might came to my mind.…

    There are a lot of things that happen to your body when you are pregnant. Mainly, your hormones increase which cause a lot of other things to go out of whack. One of the things is that your hair changes. This was one of those things that I read about either before or while I…

    I was recently in a conversation with someone who was telling me about a babysitting experience. She was watching a 5 month old and when she attempted to put the baby to sleep for the night it was unsuccessful. The baby would wake up every 45 minutes or so. Worried, she contacted the parents and…

    As my tagline states, this blog is dedicated to encouraging mothers, teachers, wives, and those in the ministry. This will probably be one of the few posts that covers all four of those areas in one. It is also something that I have both struggled with and benefited from over the years. Teachers I am…
