Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
This post is sponsored by Midwest Parent Educators in Kansas City. Me, 20 years ago! Once upon a time, there was a 14 year old girl who was going down the wrong path. She was interested in friends, boys, and having fun. She wasn’t really caring too much about what the Lord’s plans were for her life. She was just worried about being accepted by her peers. Then, one
Have you met Amy Bayliss yet? I first “met” her when I became a writer for Homemakers Challenge. She is an amazingly talented woman! I love all that she offers to the blogging world and have learned so much from her through Homemakers Challenge and DIY Ministry. I’m currently reading through her new e-book called In Pursuit of Proverbs 31 and so far, I’m loving what I’m reading. She talks

Is your microwave dirty? Cleaning a microwave is one of those things that I always put off. I think mostly because it’s out of sight and out of mind until, of course, I have to use it. Then I realize how dirty it is. But right then, I’m kind of in the middle of needing to microwave something. I’m not going to take the time to wash my microwave out
A Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt + Free Printable Don’t you just love days when you don’t HAVE to do anything? That’s how our Sunday was. We got up, went to church, came home to a nice lunch and then decided we wanted to go on a hike at the lake. We live a couple miles from our local reservoir where we can utilize the hiking trails. The temperature was in the upper 60’s, so
An Easy Craft for Toddlers, Preschoolers and Elementary aged children! Being at the beginning of March, we tend to get excited that spring is coming. It was actually unseasonably warm all winter (at least here in the Midwest), but now it’s getting to the warmer, wanna-be-outside-all-the-time temps. It reached the middle 70’s today and my kids kept asking if they could get the hose out to make a waterslide or if
I have been needing to buy some hair detangler for my girls for quite some time. It’s one of those things that I kept forgetting to do when I was at the store. Since I kept forgetting, when it was bath time, I just made sure that I conditioned their ratty hair thoroughly in order to get through all those tangles when it was time to brush it. It helped,
Today, my son was doing a science experiment. You know the one. Put a piece of celery in a glass of colored water and watch as the color moves up to the top through the veins of the celery. Well, what I was amazed about was the fact that if it’s wilted, it regains it’s crunch. Keep in mind, I don’t really like celery, so I tend to think you
A Weekly Printable Checklist for Motivated Moms I have the hardest time with staying motivated, let alone remembering what it is I’m supposed to be motivated to do! Really! I forget a lot of what I’m supposed to be doing each day. I mean, I do remember plenty of things that I’m supposed to be doing, but I’ll forget portions of it, or think I don’t have time because
On Wednesday, my 9 year old daughter and I took the 2 hour trip to our pediatric neurologist. It was a regular appointment that came about a little sooner than it normally does, because she has been having increased seizure activity. Yes, my daughter has epilepsy. Sounds scary doesn’t it? It actually isn’t (anymore!). On her 6th Birthday, about 6 months after she was diagnosed. I remember one time, as

I am so intrigued with building my own furniture. Ever since I ran across Ana White’s site, I have been totally excited about it. Unfortunately though, I have only taken the time to build one piece. Yes, one measly old piece, but it is my favorite piece in our house. Our dining room table. We totally love it! We can fit a large amount of people around it and serve
