Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Welcome back to Get Motivated Mondays! I hope you’re enjoying this series where I share ways to stay motivated to be healthier. Today I’m sharing about an easy lunch that I enjoy: This is one of THE EASIEST healthy lunches that I make for myself when I’m trying to up my vegetable consumption. Chop up some Romaine lettuce. (try not to use iceberg because it’s not worth much nutritionally) Top
Today I’m at the Midwest Parent Educator’s Homeschool Conference in Kansas City, MO, so I’ve got Diane Hurst from Gentle Shepherd posting a little about a hobby she has. Please take a moment to make Diane feel welcome! My name is Diane Hurst. Thanks to Sarah, I’m here today, telling you about a favorite hobby I have—hand-sewing with felt. I’d like to tell you why I like it, and share
I’m going to the Midwest Parent Educators Homeschool Conference in Kansas City, MO this weekend. Will you be there? I’m excited because I get to go and hang out with one of my closest friends in the whole wide world. It’ll be a great weekend. As I get ready for the weekend trip, I keep thinking of the childhood car game where you start with the first letter of the
A super moist & absolutely delicious cake recipe! I told you about this cake when I was sharing our Easter festivities with you. After a few requests for the recipe, I aimed to provide you the recipe sooner, rather than later. This cake is my husband’s absolute favorite. We make it for holidays and birthdays. I had hoped to get a picture of it when it wasn’t quite so decked out in Easter decor,
Today is Monday and I normally share an idea or a tip for getting healthy here on Get Motivated Mondays. Instead, I think, I’ll share what not to do….because I keep messing up. Do you ever have those weeks? You just don’t want to do it. Yes, I had one, too! So here goes: My life, in raw honesty. Don’t skip your exercise videos or classes every day this week!
Remember last week when I shared about our bad picture experience? Well, Easter rolled around and we were all dressed up and ready to go to church, so of course we had to get some pictures. We got some good ones and some not so good ones. We were in a hurry to get to my sister’s house nearly 2 hours away, so we were just trying to hurry
Have you ever been over to We Are That Family and submitted a tip or read all the tips on her link up, Works for Me Wednesdays? I have submitted my posts to her link up as often as I remember to do it and I always enjoy seeing what other people are posting. There are sooo many ideas out there! Well, Kristen and Jennifer had a brilliant idea. They decided
Welcome back to Get Motivated Mondays. Each week, we talk about ways to get a little healthier. Sometimes, it’s about eating well, others it’s about exercising. I’m starting to run low on topics regarding getting healthy, so I may change things up in the near future. In the mean time, if you have anything you’d like to read about, leave me a comment, or if you’d like to submit a
Do you get your family picture taken professionally every year? We don’t. We tend to go to churches that have a church directory. We’ll get it every couple of years, when we go for that. Other than that, we tend to do it at Easter, when we’re all dressed up nicely. Last year we had a fun photo shoot with our new camera, however, we didn’t get any with all
Make Foam out of Ivory Soap Here’s a fun little science experiment for your kids. And of course, it’s simple as can be. What happens when you put a bar of Ivory soap in the microwave? It expands and grows and turns this: into this: Here’s what to do: Get a bar of Ivory soap, yes it has to be Ivory (other brands will just melt as they don’t have

It is called The Money Saving Mom’s Budget. Do you want to know what it is she addresses before she even talks about budgeting? (and my favorite part of the book so far…..) Tackling Clutter! I have never thought about how having too
Do your kids feel like this often? (This post contains affiliate links) We have been having a very difficult time with bad attitudes among the children in our home. They have been arguing, tattling and just plain selfish. They really do like each other and most of the time you know this, but when they both want the same thing, they’re having a hard time letting go and being selfless.
