Happy Monday readers! I’ve been meaning to write a post about one of the ways I make money blogging and today is as good a day as any! I’ve been blogging for a few years off and on, but this year has been the one that I finally found my niche with the SAHM community.Read More →
Every day, at some point, I do my best to break from my motherly duties and sit down to read a few verses from the Bible. I used to have time for a chapter or more a day, but these days I tend to read about 5 verses at a time, doing my best to keep up with the continuing narrative and internalizing its significance. Right now I’m slowly chipping away from Genesis to Revelation as an alternative to reading a devotion or a topical study.Read More →
We all have days when our motivation is shot. Days when it seems like the only things we want to do are watch Netflix and veg. Days like that can be good for our mental health, but sometimes I find that the day after a lazy day can send me into either panic mode trying to catch up or a perpetual state of laziness as I continue to put off getting back to the grind!Read More →
As often as I’m able to get up before the sun, I’ve been practicing the Miracle Morning–but with a twist. If you aren’t familiar with The Miracle Morning, you can visit my post here where I briefly talk about it. I initially tried The Miracle Morning the way Hal Elrod prescribed it–Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, Scribing.Read More →
How many mornings have you found yourself scrambling around, doing ten things at one time, just trying to make it out the door? Me too. I’m sure it’s not as difficult for me as it is for some with multiple children or slightly older children–teeth to brush, breakfasts to make, bags to pack–but even with one it can be a struggle.Read More →
I remember, a little over a year ago, praying to God: “Lord, do whatEVER it takes to conform me to your image.” I was just ready to quit fooling around and get serious about my sanctification process and let me tell you–be careful what you ask for because God might make you a stay-at-home mom.

One of my very favorite books as a SAHM was one that I discovered before I ever had a home of my own. I remember being in middle school seeing my Mom reading the bright pink edition of Marla Ciley’s homekeeping handbook Sink Reflections and being reverently inspired to get organized, even at a young age. One day I found her standing over a glistening kitchen sink and decided I wanted to read the book for myself.Read More →
First things first on a Monday: beat the Monday blues by sorting out a new week in my bullet journal. At first I found it difficult to replicate what I was seeing others do in their journals. After a couple of months I realized all I needed was the right tools.Read More →
Happy June everyone! May seems like it flew by, but that may be due to all the company we’ve been having. Today has finally been a moment to rest.Read More →
In a matter of one day I read The Miracle Morning and, even though the ideas Hal had written about were hardly original, I was so excited to immediately start putting into practice his collective ideas on personal development and the ever important morning routine. I would love to say I’ve done it for seven days without missing a day like I’ve been reading about on every other Miracle Morning-er’s blog, but motherhood calls. It seems like since I put my mind to doing this the kiddo has decided to start waking up an hour or two before my pre-determined wake up time. Next thing I know,Read More →
