Hey Reader, Based on last week’s email, I got a couple of emails asking me about what wall calendar I use. I was surprised because I normally don’t get asked what I use behind the scenes. It got me thinking about maybe this is something you might like to know as well. My favorite wall planner- Etsy Quarterly Wall Calender at PlanTheThingsCo I spent 2-3 hours checking out Etsy and landed on this calendar. My reasoning for getting this is that it is aesthetically pleasing to look at, the boxes...

Hey Reader! Just because, today I thought it’d be fun to share with you three things that have been on my mind lately.

I understand that speaking about pain points is understanding and relating...

Proverbs 31 has been used to demonstrate the standard of what a married wife should be: pure; godly; devoted wife and mother; perfect...

Hi Reader, Recently someone asked me a question that I commonly get: I am constantly trying to do everything and get pulled in so many directions. I feel wiped at the end of the day. Do I have a time management problem? My reply… You don’t have a time management problem. You have a context switching problem. Hear me out… Our time is stretched as a mom, wife, business owner, and even as a Christian. You can only do so much in the time that you have, and it is even less than you thought given...

Struggle with finding the right balance with time spent with your kiddos along with time needed for the business. Trying to control the situations that is happening around them. But what I recommend is that you actually…. Work through the difficult thoughts and emotions which are causing you to feel out of...

I woke up that Sunday with every intention of going to church. My 18-month old son had other plans. We had 20 minutes to get Logan fed and out the door. He downed the milk, no problem. When it came to eating his egg, the struggle began. It landed on his hair, floor, pretty much anywhere except the act of eating it.. The clock was ticking and we had a choice to make if we/one of us would make it on time. After discussing it with hubby, he ended up going to church and I stayed home and fed...
