My son will be a teen before I know it! These are the things I'm aiming to teach him about God, himself, and life before that time comes.

The words cut me like a dagger. “Charity suffereth long, and is kind.” “Charity suffereth long, and is kind.” “Charity suffereth long, and is kind.” (Isn't that what God's word is supposed to do? It's sharper than any two-edged sword. Amazing that it does what God said it would do.) As I read those […]

The Lord has impressed upon me the need to be pouring Scripture into my children while they are young. One tool that I have used to accomplish this is a daily Bible Time. I struggled at first to know what to do with my young children since they don’t understand a lot of Bible […]

Did you know there are certain things you should be wearing as a homemaker? Yes! I'm going to be so bold as to give you a homemaking dress code!

Do you want more joy and contentment in your role as a homemaker? Finding it is really more simple than you might think!

Clutter. It steals so much from us. The more things we have, the more time it takes to maintain them. The more things we have to maintain and clean up, the less time we have for truly important things – our relationships with God and with others. Over the past couple months we've been laser-focused […]

Maybe you are actually really good about writing down all those prayer requests, but now your prayer list is a mile long and terribly overwhelming. That's why I developed My […]

"Mom, my legs hurt. Can you rub them?" "Ugh," I thought to myself. "I don't want to! He's gotta be faking anyway. He just wants to stay up. I'm sooo tired and I'm already half asleep. He just needs to go back to bed." ​But I heard a whisper in my soul. "What is love?"Is love serving […]

As a mom of small children, it is sometimes tempting to look forward to the days when my life is not so exhausting. Taking care of the needs of children is a 24/7 job, and I'll admit that while I don't want to “wish the years away”, I do sometimes look forward to the day […]

Pitfalls of Bible Journaling I've noticed a trend lately when it comes to Bible journaling. People are drawing and coloring in their Bible and purchasing fancy Bible coloring books in order to study the Bible. I'm not saying these things are wrong by any means; my caution is to be careful that you do not […]

In one of my recent emails, I asked my readers about their biggest hindrance to being a productive homemaker. This question really hit a nerve! The responses poured into my inbox, and it was obvious that being more productive is something we all care deeply about. As I collected all the responses, I placed them […]

So you're overwhelmed, eh? Join the club. Life is so crazy and I'm trying hard to slow it down, but honestly there's not a whole lot I can eliminate. Homeschooling just takes a LOT of time and there's nothing I can do about that. Trying to stay on top of housework besides is about all […]

Dreams are a beautiful thing. Without them life would be a bit stagnant, don't you think? It's important to challenge ourselves to work toward something – a financial goal, a fitness goal, a household project – and then to dream about how reaching that goal will make our life better. But what if your […]

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, 5 Self-Control Strategies for the Christian Parent, you must speak truth to yourself. You must renew your mind with the Word of God. The Bible clearly tells us that we can be transformed by the renewing of our mind. (Romans 12:2) So if you struggle with anger or speaking […]

Homemaking places many demands on you, not just physically, but also mentally. Is there hope of finding peace when you can't even go to the bathroom alone?

As our family continues to be blessed with more children, the amount of time I have to myself decreases. Thankfully, my children sleep really well most of the time, and I can usually get up early and have a few minutes to spend time alone with the Lord while things are still quiet. But there […]

Philippians 4:8 keeps our thoughts focused on the right things. This printable artwork keeps it in the forefront of our minds.

One of the things I love about homeschooling is that our mornings feel so free and relaxed. We don't have to race to get everyone packed up and out the door for school. We can wake up slowly and enjoy our mornings together. But before I had a good morning routine for the kids, our slow […]
