I’ve been doing a lot of work with one of my children on listening. Not listen as in listen and obey…but really hearing what people are saying. Maybe even hearing more than what people are actually saying. The thing behind the thing. I’m encouraging all my kids in this, mainly because I see the power it […]
31 Days of Doing the Hard Thing: Say No
This will be my first, and only weekend post of the Write 31 Days challenge. While I’ve got quite the rebellious spirit (telling me to NOT do something only makes me want to do it/try it), I’ve also got quite the people pleasing streak in me. Plus whatever I’m doing, I only know how to […]
31 days of Doing the Hard Thing: Gathering and Being
I’m in a small group of women that have been meeting together once a month for about 5 years. Actually, they’ve been meeting together longer, but I somehow weaseled my way in about 5 years ago. We’ve done bible studies, IF gatherings, book studies…we’ve washed feet and served at the Operation Christmas Child processing plant […]
31 days of Doing the Hard Thing: Keep Going
I’m finally getting myself back to a running schedule now that all the kiddos are in some sort of school (I think that alone qualifies as Doing the Hard Thing). I missed having regularity in it. I love how invigorating moving your body is…I always feel like I have more energy afterwards. I run outside […]
31 Days of Doing the Hard Thing: Just Do It.
I’m in the middle of a sewing project and I am procrastinating and distracting myself with anything I can to not finish it. I’ve been sucked into social media, dawdling in the kitchen, picking up stray pieces of fabric clouding my living room…anything to not have to finish this stupid poofed sleeve for a costume. […]
31 Days of Doing the Hard Thing
It’s been quiet around here with me out on vacation…which you are probably tired of seeing pics of if you follow me on Instagram. With the combination of vacation, and a personal goal I knew I would be undertaking, I thought quiet would do me some good. Of course my head wasn’t quiet, so I’ve […]
Mommy Wars (or You’re Not a Failure Part II, Mommy Edition)
You’re Not a Failure Part I While talking with a friend, who is a new mom who works out of the home, she was sharing how she wants to give more to her child. She feels a pull, that if she could just stay home that the longing she has to be a better mother […]
Italian Beef/Shredded Beef…and Several Dinner Ideas
Dinner has been rather uninteresting as of late, mainly due to practicality. With the fall schedule back in full swing, we have something going on every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday evening and some Mondays. Which means if I want a chance at gathering my family around the table, even for a few minutes it needs to […]
Hey You…You Are Not a Failure!
For generations women have felt like they can’t quite measure up. Like in some way they are always failing at something. Call it insecurity, high expectations, or our desire to do it all. Whatever you want to name it, we always feel like in some way we are lacking, and not quite enough. We see […]
Adding Length to Jeans for Girls
Fall is slowly creeping in here. Not quite at the pace that I’d like it, but slowly. My crazy daughter loves wearing skinny jeans. Even in July, most of the time she requests a dress, or jeans. She has shot up over the summer (her new height average is crushing my dreams of wearing the […]
