Why I Admire Working Moms

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel I've been a mom long enough to say that there is a small rift between mothers. The working kind. The kind that says, "You're a stay at home mom, so you don't do anything all day," or the kind that says, "You willingly leave your children all day to go to work." I know this rift isn't there for all women, but I know that it's there in some places. That's why I'm here to say today that, as a stay-at-home mom, I admire you. The working moms. Here's why: Sometimes you…

Where’s Your Helmet?

These days it seems you have to have a helmet for everything: hitting a baseball, bicycling, driving a motorcycle, working on a construction site, playing football, fighting a fire...you get the point. Not only this, quite often safety head lamps are needed too, especially when working on construction sites or for cycling in the dark. Being able to see what you're doing limits the amount of injury you can do to yourself... I would hope anyway. It's because of past mistakes and the latest up-to-date safety precautions that we are required to (or at least strongly requested to) wear helmets.…

Goal Setting: Week of September 27, 2015

I'm so happy to report that this week was fairly smooth sailing!  For once, all kids were in school all week, and my schedule was fairly normal.  The only day that didn't quite go as planned was Thursday, when my allergies were really bothering me so I decided not to go for a walk and picked up some allergy medicine from the store instead (among other things).

Same Grace: An Imperfect Mom Confessional

Hey everyone!  I am so EXCITED today, because I'm over at Busy Being Blessed sharing my ultimate WORST.  Mommy Fail.  EVER. (Excited for the post, mind you.  Not the mommy fail part.) So without further ado (because I know time is precious!), here is a little excerpt: If I ever had a Mommy Fail moment, this was it.  I felt like such a failure as a mother—like I had not cared for the gifts God had given me.  Still when I think of this, I feel disappointment with myself. But what I have to remind myself every time is this:…
