Faith Focused Friday
Anybody feel like the day to day can just become too much? I do! I have to consciously plan rest time so that I can rest. Seems so silly but if I don’t plan it out, it doesn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen I struggle. Hard. The Lord calls us to him when we are weary and burdened, He wants to give us rest. He does not want us to be overwhelmed with life. He wants us to know His goodness, His peace, His glory and His will. When you have reached your wits end, pray, and pray some more. He is with you always and will give you…

Easter/Spring Coordinating Outfits
I love piecing together matching outfits that are not exactly the same but look great together! With three girls, it has been a dream come true! I am not sure about where you live, but the weather is so unpredictable for us here so I love to do dresses or jumpsuits because it is so easy to layer up! I linked the very best denim jackets and some sweet neutral sandals that would match any and all of these outfits! The best part about all of the outfit choices I am listing below is that you can have the hubby or your sweet baby boy wear a white or blue…

Faith Focused Friday
I have not personally struggled with anxiety but have obviously been anxious throughout my life and the experiences it has brought me. Yes two totally different things. I am very aware. Either way the word of God tells us to never be anxious, to always pray with thanksgiving your requests to God and you will be given peace. Sometimes we think we are living the path God has laid out for us, but find that somewhere we took a wrong turn. To me, anxiousness, stress, a life of worry, is a sign that we have missed a step, a turn something in our path because God wants non of those…

FWTFL – Faster Way to Fat Loss
This program has made it so easy for me to lose and/or maintain my weight depending on how I am feeling! The main idea of the program is to teach your body to be a fat burner – it involves three main components: Carb Cycling – tracking your carbs, fats and proteins (2 low carb/high fat days a week) Intermittent Fasting – choosing 8 hours a day that you will eat (mine is 11-7) Workout – I am terrible at this!

Faith Focused Friday
I feel like our world is so brave on social media and honestly just in general. It is so ready to make people live in fear, act out on anger and fight back when there is no fight to be had. WHY? So willing to post/do whatever they want because they don’t have to face the consequences head on. Here is what I think… we all have to face the consequences of our actions in one way or another. Why risk it? Do good. Be good. Be kind. Play nice. Be peaceful and understanding. Follow the rules! The verse this week is Romans 12:18. It tells us to live at…

Faith Focused Friday
Hello sweet friends! I could not pick one verse out of this portion of the Bible. It is one of my very favorite parts. It gives me strength and hope that I am going to be okay. Ephesians 6:10-18 explains that we can use the incredible tools our Lord gave us to protect ourselves and that we need nothing more. I get choked up every time I talk about this. And after all of the pieces of armor are listed the Bible tells us to pray. We have got to be the luckiest people who walk this earth. We are given everything we need to be safe, all we have…

Baby Routine
We thrive with routine and consistency at our house. Our girls sleep through the night, they are healthy and for the most part and know what to expect on a day to day basis! I’d like to preface this with stating that I am definitely not the perfect parent. I am also aware that what may work in our house for our girls may not work in all households and that is okay! The bigger picture is that us mommas stick together, encourage each other, respect each other and help each other in whatever way possible. Other mommas who have shared their tips and tricks has been so helpful to…

Bedtime Routine
We are the parents that get our kids to bed, most would say, pretty darn early. All three of our kiddos are in bed and asleep by 7:30pm. The reason we have made this such a large priority is so that my husband and I can make time, each night, for each other. Our days are so busy, between three kids, distance learning, my husband working a full time job and, an infant, we really don’t have a lot of time to actually connect durning the day, especially without interruption. After the kiddos are in bed we grab a drink and snack, talk through our day, and then binge watch…

Rest Time
Routines In General – If you don’t know by now, I personally function best with routines and predicability. I learned while taking child development courses, that kids function best with consistency. So during the week in our home, our days are very consistent. For our two older girls we have morning and bedtime routines and a tentative schedule that helps us get through our day while accomplishing school, chores and of course time for fun stuff! This is helpful for me, they know when they can have a snack and where to get it from, they know they will have a quiet time during the day and that they get…
