Humbled Hospitality

If you have never had the chance to provide true hospitality to a friend in need, I pray that one day you do.  Not the type of hospitality you've had even a few minutes to prepare for, but the type that is sprung on you in a moments notice, a game time decision. A...

Christmas Eve – Traditions

So it's Christmas Eve which means that tomorrow is the "big" day!  I *honestly* cannot believe how fast December has flown by, which is a LOT to say as I count down the literal hours before my husband is off in hopes that labour will ensue (356 hours and 10 minutes if...

If I Start Today …

Oh man, the number of times during this pregnancy I have thought, on a Monday ... because that's when the thinking happens ... if I start today I can ... I can get through two full rounds of this 8 week program before I am ready to have bonus baby #5. I can get...

Tidying, Organizing, Minimalizing … Doing it all?

Is it just me or did everything all of a sudden launch into tidying up?  Now, I know that I live in a bit of a hobbit hole being a stay at home mom, with no access to a car, and living in the "country", and I HAVE seen on the Facebook that there is a new Netflix...

Oh the TOYS!

Oh the toys, everywhere. They are literally overflowing from every nook and cranny of our home, our NEW home. The one that I've spent countless hours over the last two months, dreaming of how super organized and Pinterest worthy it would be. And yet, despite the fact...

Addicted to my … PHONE

I am throwing it out there, to the judgy interwebs and all the trolls that may be perusing mom blogs like this one.  I am admitting it because I know that I am not the only mom who feels as though she is floundering without direction. Surrounded in loads of unfolded...

Motivation, I NEED More Motivation

Seriously though, we are just starting the new year and I can almost guarantee that you've already come across about a million and one posts, live videos and e-mails talking to you about your goal setting, your resolutions and how you are going to make THIS year your...

Holy Moly Meal Plans

Alright, alright, alright ...  It's a new year which means everyone and their mother has been thinking about how THIS year they will get healthy, they will get out of debt, they will do all the amazing things that they have yet to achieve *I am no stranger to this...

Once Upon A Time …

I am having one of the Martin Luther King Jr. moments as I write this, I have a dream ... or I had a dream.  A dream that I could put together 80,000 words in a manner that would speak to the hearts of women, of that mom who feels like she is struggling to get by,...

Time to DREAM

Oh momma!  The new year is *literally* on our doorstep and it is time to start thinking about all the things we can (and WILL) accomplish this year.  ... ok, it may have been time to start thinking about these things a while ago, especially since this is coming at you...

Train Up Your Child

To say that I have a particularly hard to love child would feel like an understatement, would feel like I am selling the stress of parenting, consistently correcting, or even just doting on one of my sons ... short.  One of my boys, Lord bless his heart, seems to...

If I Start Today …

Oh man, the number of times during this pregnancy I have thought, on a Monday ... because that's when the thinking happens ... if I start today I can ... I can get through two full rounds of this 8 week program before I am ready to have bonus baby #5. I can get...
