Why Basic Chores Are Beneficial for Young Children

Our kids have been doing chores since they were old enough to walk. Of course, they are developmentally appropriate and we choose our chore times wisely (pro-tip: don’t assign a chore when your kids other needs have to be met first like being hungry, tired, etc.). You want to make implementing chores into your daily…

I Used To Avoid Cooking, But Then…

Every single day is a new chance for me to honour God by serving my family. One of the ways I can do this is through the healthy and delicious meals that I can make for them and that has really motivated me to work harder, challenge myself and learn new cooking techniques.

Get Real

Have you ever logged into one of your social media accounts and, as you scroll through the endless posts, you slowly start to feel drained? You look at the mom who shared a photo of everything they bought for their children for a certain holiday, and suddenly, you feel bad about the amount of gifts…

My Content Heart

As I grow in my walk with the Lord everyday, new things are revealed to me continually. One thing that I’ve been spending a lot of time digging deeper into lately is having a servant heart like the Proverbs 31 wife & mother. I’ve always desired to live that way but lately I’ve been really…

Nothing Feels Better Than This

I’ve seen a trend all over the internet lately where people, especially women, are creating videos with the tagline "Nothing feels better than putting yourself first". I decided to share my own version of that video by creating one with the tagline "Nothing feels better than serving your family". I wanted to share a couple…

Freebie Printable Letter To Send To Missionaries

Encourage Your Missionaries! I lead the MidWeek Ministry at my church and this week's lesson is about Paul encouraging the church through his letters and continually pointing them back to Jesus. Paul was a great missionary who helped found the early church. God called him to spread the Gospel as far as he could go…

Give Me All The Fall Treats

Baking in the fall is like making snow angels in the winter… is it even fall if you don’t?! Are you kidding me? How have I walked 33 years (it’s 33 still right? I somehow have to think hard on my age😂) and NOT HAD THESE MUFFINS?! I’m serious. Guys, these are the freaking best…

Check Your Heart When You Check Your Social Media

Last year, I decided it was time to unplug from social media for a time. There were several key factors in making this decision, but it was a notification I got on my phone one afternoon that really got the ball rolling - my weekly screen time report. Now, it wasn't the first time I…

PPD Doesn’t Know Your Face

Postpartum Depression. You read about it in the news. You hear about how it happened to a friend of a friend. You think “That’s not me. That’s not my story. I’m just cranky. I’m tired. I’m stressed. I’m irrational, at times, but it is normal – I’m a young mom. It’ll get better with time……

The Teachable Twos

A couple of months ago, I was telling my sister that I don’t like referring to this challenging, yet adorable, developmental stage that my daughter has entered as the “Terrible Twos”. I told her that maybe I would just refer to them as the “Terrific Twos” but that felt like a bit of a lie…
