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…

I Am a Work-in-Progress

Sometimes when I write my Wednesday Work-in-Progress posts, I'm afraid I'm boring all of you to tears. 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…
