Did you know... 75% of all kids own or have access to mobile devices at home? 8-18 year-olds spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day on screens, which totals more than 53 hours a week. If you include "media multitasking" (like texting while watching TV), they truly accumulate a total of 10 hours and…

A Day in the Life of a Stay at Home Mom

So before I jump right into the workings of my life, I wanted to say first and foremost that I don't really consider myself a stay at home mom. I am actually more of like a work at home mom, but for those that work outside the home and/or don't really know the difference: I stay at home, yes, but I work from home as well--as a blogger and an author. As there were a number of stay at home jobs that I had the possibility of taking up, I picked up side jobs like babysitting and helping my dad…

Goal Setting: Week of September 20, 2015

Sometimes when I post--anything, really--I wonder if I'm just talking to myself.  Is anybody listening? I know we're only three quarters of the way through the year, but I feel like my entire life has been a work in progress this year.  It's a constant battle between God's will and temptation, pressing on or giving up. On weeks like this week (or even the past two weeks) I wonder if I should just throw in the towel.  Kids seem to be sick all the time.  If…

Hope for Tomorrow. Live for Today.

I wish I could have written this weekend, but I take the weekends off (though truly I wouldn't mind working on the weekends, because I love this job). Something happened this weekend, and I'm not sure what it was that turned around, but it's like a switch went off in my brain that immediately allowed creative energy to surge through me.  Something I lost a long time ago returned.  I'm afraid that maybe it's just a flicker but long for it to remain. Hope. Hope has been elusive for a long time. Now that I've seen it again I want…
