Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you! I hope you’ve enjoyed the e-book that I was able to put together for Valentine’s day ideas. There were some adorable ideas in it from several different blogs! Today, I’m sharing a tutorial! The other day when we went to our Bright Lights girls club, my friend Holly was there to help the girls make their names out of wire. Thankfully, my friends are getting

Because of this, we have not gotten very sick this year! We had our first “bug” last week and thankfully, it was relatively easy, considering how hard some winter time illnesses can be. However, I keep hearing

What you need: Crescent Rolls (refrigerated kind or your favorite recipe) Peanut Butter cups, cut in quarters Powdered sugar Directions Cut your peanut butter cups into quarters.

I’m always on the lookout for new ways to keep my soon-to-be 3-year-old busy while the rest of us are doing school. Otherwise, her many needs turn into interruptions and make it hard for us to get done all that we need to do in school. I don’t want her growing up thinking she’s just a “need” to be met. I want her to feel important, too. I’ve decided to
(This post contains affiliate links) As many of you know, we homeschool our children. One of the many reasons we choose to go this route in their formal education is so that we can direct their spiritual learning and disciplines. We want them to be able to learn about Christ, all throughout their school day and we want Him intertwined in the different school subjects that they’re learning about. One
This is a really simple Valentine card that we made several years ago. My 12 year old daughter decided she didn’t want to give store bought Valentine’s away this year, so she made these up for her friends again. It’s been several years since we made them, so I’m sure they don’t even remember them! Here’s what you need: Construction paper hearts, folded in half Construction paper cut as mouse
It’s Monday again. Yes….Monday, the day we talk about motivation to get healthier! I have decided to discontinue the linky part of Get Motivated Mondays, but I’ll probably continue to write about getting healthy, so long as I can think up new things to write about! Even though I’m not providing the linky party, feel free to share anything you want to in the comments below. I’m all in for
I was guest posting at Raising Arrows yesterday and didn’t get a chance to tell you about it! I was sharing about spending quality time with your children! You can read that post here.
We moved into this house a little over 3 1/2 years ago. When we got here, there was so much to be done. The previous owners had smoked in it for a L.O.N.G. time! The amount of tar on the walls and fixtures was ridiculous! Still sometimes, I will smell a faint hint of smoke in one of the closets. We tend to be project starters, but sometimes our follow

Exercise. Sometimes, I hate it. Sometimes, I love it. I always need it! Our family has been trying to get a bit creative in finding time to exercise, but it can be tricky when we have 8 people living here. It seems like there’s always something to do and always mouths to feed, but I do believe we’re getting better at it. Here are some of the ways that we
Have you ever seen a tree that was struck by lightning but it didn’t fall down? We were at my in-laws house in December and noticed that the bark was stripped from a tree from the bottom of it, all the way to the top and wrapping all around. It was the strangest thing. It had happened in a lightning storm in the early part of December. Here are some
