If you read my blog, you are most likely a mom with at least a few children. That means…unless you live under a rock…you have heard of the newest movie in the Toy Story series… TOY STORY 4! My girls have been eagerly awaiting the release of the fourth installment in Pixar’s Toy Story series, and when it arrived on our doorstep, you could heard their squeals for miles!

Since I shared about how I am creating Legacy Bibles for each of my children, I have received so many messages from moms asking a host of questions. I am so happy to see so many of you starting Legacy Bibles for your children! What a blessing they will be! I did promise that I would continue to share a little bit about my process with these Legacy Bibles, so make sure to come back over the next couple…
Since becoming a mother many years ago, it has been important to me that I leave some sort of legacy to my children. For a long time, I wasn’t sure what that meant to me. I had to grow in my role as a mother and even more in my relationship with God to understand what I wanted my legacy to be. While leaving a legacy is a multi-faceted concept, one thing I have loved doing is creating a…
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a mom and a homemaker. I just wasn’t quite sure what my view of homemaking was. Growing up, we had multiple housekeepers to “keep” our home clean, so we only had some basic chores we were responsible for. I learned how to do the dishes and clean a bathroom, and how to do my own laundry. As you can imagine, my view of being a homemaker was a bit unrealistic! This…
If your family takes any prescription medicine at all, then you know prescriptions can get expensive. If you have a large family, like I do, and everyone gets sick at the same time – you may need an oxygen mask when you go to pick up all your prescriptions! Granted, we do our best to stay healthy and boost our immune systems, so we rarely need prescription medicine, but there are times when it is the best choice for what…

Add homeschooling into that mix and chaos can easily reign over the day, if you let it. Over the years I have learned how important it is to have a solid morning routine that sets up your day for success. Of course, this doesn’t always go as planned, because I am a mom…
This post is sponsored by Happy Family Brands but the content and all opinions expressed are my own. I firmly believe that every mom needs community. That may come in different forms, but the intent is still the same. Motherhood is tough, whether you have one child or ten children. It doesn’t get easier with each child, trust me. Some things do, yes. But not all the things. Even after seven kids, I still find myself with questions. Each…

The ones where the kids are bouncing off the walls, you are exhausted, and everything seems to be going wrong? With seven kids, I have had more than my fair share of those nights. Halloween Night Chaos Without fail, one of those chaotic nights is Halloween night. While we don’t practice Halloween in the typical fashion, we do…
This post is sponsored by Evivo but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. The majority of American babies appear healthy at birth. They are growing, gaining weight and hitting their developmental milestones, which lead us to believe they’ll grow into healthy kids. So why do so many babies who appear healthy on the outside end up with metabolic and autoimmune issues later in life? There are at least two children with food allergies in almost every…
