Do you struggle with your mornings? What is it about getting up and moving that is so difficult? It's like the bed sucks you in and won't let you go. Then, once you do manage to escape their warm embrace grasp, it's like moving through mud all morning. Before you know it, half the day is gone and you are scrambling to get anything done. These are definitely what my mornings always looked like. I always had good intentions of getting up at 6am, reading my Bible, and doing some work before my … [Read more...]
Taking a Day of Rest – A Mom’s Best Defense
Alright, mamas. Raise your hand if you are exhausted. I'm pretty sure I just saw all but a couple of you raise your hands. Those few that didn't...well, I think they may have been asleep. There is just something about "mom" that seems to be synonymous with "exhausted." And not just "I need to go to bed' exhausted but that bone weary, brain fried exhausted. Now I have another question for you. When was the last time you took a day off? Mmm...that's what I thought. It's been awhile, … [Read more...]
Organizing Kindle Books- Taming the Digital Clutter
I love to read. I love to read an actual, print book but I also really love reading on my Kindle. When Abby was a baby, my Kindle was the easiest way for me to read because I could read while nursing. One of the great things about the Kindle is all the free books you can get. Sometimes they aren't so great but a lot of times really great books are offered for free as a promotional offer. I've read some amazing series for free. I loved the Gone to Green series. I also started the Maya … [Read more...]

Why Turning 29 Seems Harder Than Turning 30
I'm turning 29 this month. On the 27th to be exact. I've always been a birthday lover. I love to celebrate. I love all the free coffee coupons I get in the mail. ;) I love to have an excuse to do whatever I want to do (well, to a certain extent, of course). I make a big deal about my daughter's birthday too. But this year I'm just not feeling it. Instead of looking forward to my birthday this year, I'm dreading it a bit. I don't feel like I am where I wanted to be by this point in my life. I … [Read more...]
Frugal Cleaning with e-cloth
(I received a complimentary e-cloth to review for you! All opinions are my own.) About a month and a half ago I was approached by e-cloth to review one of their cleaning cloths, the Kitchen Cloth (and I get to offer one to one of you wonderful readers!). I was seriously excited! The e-cloth claims that you can clean with just water. This is because of a special combination of polyester and polyamide. The fibers are supposedly so strong and close together they can pick up more dirt and grime … [Read more...]
