There is a bond that begins to form between a mother and her child from the moment she finds out that she is pregnant. For some, this bond grows and despite all the fears and nerves, it forms from the beginning. For some, it takes time to form and grow.

Why I need a clean house
Well, cleanish anyways. There are messes here and there, dusting hasn\’t been done very often and if it weren\’t for my oldest loving to mop, it would fall into the wayside as well. I came to the conclusion, more recently, that I need to have my house somewhat clean. Why? Because it causes less stress. Continue reading “Why I need a clean house”
Going From One Kid to Two
I don\’t think anything can truly prepare a person for the role of parenting. Parenting is a delicate balance of learning how to be a parent, figuring out and working with your child\’s personality, transitioning between the stages, letting your child be the person that God designed them to be, and acceptance. It took aContinue reading “Going From One Kid to Two”
Beyond the Number on the Scale
This time around, I knew that I wanted to get to a healthier weight. Fortunately, after my third pregnancy, I was starting out at a number that was one of the lowest it had been in nearly 10 years.

"Have a Beauiful Day!"
Have a beautiful day, four simple words that can make a big impact. Today, I swung through the drive thru to pick up a \”coffee\” (can\’t have caffeine, so it\’s a mocha frappe, but I pretend it\’s coffee) and a little breakfast (fed the kids, got everything ready, and realized once we were onContinue reading “"Have a Beauiful Day!"”

Fourth of July
We recently celebrated the Fourth of July. Usually we\’ve haven\’t done much of anything, other than maybe catch the fireworks. Some years we\’ve gone camping or gone to the lake to spend time with family.

Being Depleated and Needing a Break
It is said that in a person\’s life they go through many seasons. In any given day, week, month, or year a person slides from one season to the next. In away, we all have our Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Granted, sometimes it falls into the same order as the Earth\’s seasons, but usually,Continue reading “Being Depleated and Needing a Break”
The Art of Listening, or Better Yet, The Art of Follow Through
Not sure what is in the air today, but from the get go, we had issues with listening and following directions on and off throughout the morning. By 8 this morning, we had already face a handful of melt downs, maybe a fit or two, and not following directions. My oldest hadn\’t even been upContinue reading “The Art of Listening, or Better Yet, The Art of Follow Through”
