Well, the time is here where all of my planning to plan is in the past. I must actually really plan what I will have in place for my little man's arrival in what appears to be just over 4 weeks. I had planned on filling my freezer with meals, having all clothes sorted and cleaned (for baby), and I wanted to organize every single square inch of my house so it was orderly when we added a new … [Read more...]
I just had such a great quiet time this morning (amongst the playing toddlers!). I was working on a Bible study and was filling out a little "question/survey" form put together by Priscilla Shirer. It just made me think. I think it would be a good exercise for each and every one of you. Do you feel like it is all in vain? Do you feel like you go through the motion of serving God? You go to … [Read more...]
The Spring cleaning bug is in the air. Has it bit you yet? It has sure bit Leigh Ann and I. Our houses have never been cleaner. Are we done yet? No. Spring cleaning isn't just a one-time thing. Well, for most of us, it is. But it really shouldn't be. Yes, there are certain things we only need to clean once a year, but keeping a clean, organized, simplified life? That should be a year-round-thing. … [Read more...]
We are entering into month 3 of our challenge. If you are new to the challenge, hop on board! No worries. You can pick up here or start back at February's for a check list. But either way, just get in the Word with us and seek God's wisdom! I have always held Proverbs close to my heart. When I don't know where to go in the Word, I start there. I have also loved Psalms but find myself … [Read more...]

My family has used several different materials when implementing a family devotions into our daily routine. Nothing has really "stuck" and I at times feel as though it is not really "working." By that I mean, when your kids are distracted, not focused on what you are reading, and perhaps even ignoring you, how do you know they are receiving truth? Well, you don't. (Sorry!) But I can tell you … [Read more...]
I don't know about you, but since it is a new year, I freshen up my Bible reading. I also use the start of the year as a chance to revive my accountability. It is so much easier to read and stay motivated when you have other people encouraging you! I am currently in a very hectic stage of life. I am pregnant with my third child and I have two toddlers. As a result I am really struggling with … [Read more...]

In my world, no two days look a like. I have my "ideal schedule" but can safely say we have never completed it. With a 3 year old and an almost 2 year old in tow, this pregnant mama is just enjoying each moment and making the most of this busy routine. Today (the day I am sharing with you) was one of our special "get out of the house" days. We live in the country and we go into town (only 20 miles … [Read more...]
This post is part of our motherhood series. See all the posts here. I am laying in the hospital bed. I am emailing my husband, who is on a ship somewhere in the Persian Gulf. He is encouraging me and comforting me as best he can while I am without him, in the hospital. Did I mention I was in the hospital? My husband was not there? Ok. So I was there and my 16 month old was at my mother's house. … [Read more...]
