To the Mom Who is Struggling and Feels Forgotten

January 27, 2016 By Thaleia 33 Comments

Dear Mama,

You are not alone in your struggles or feelings. I am right there with you. Motherhood is tough. Raising multiple children with varying personalities is tough. Homeschooling children who don’t want to learn or who fight you to do their work is tough. Struggling to be a good mother while not forgetting your hubby can be challenging. Having older independent children, a preschooler, and a nursling all at the same time can be exhausting.

Rest assured mom, you are not alone!

The Plans I Have Made for You Devotional and Journal

January 20, 2016 By Thaleia 5 Comments

It’s a new year and even your children and preteens need a fresh start with their goals and their relationship with Jesus. Have you thought about getting a new devotional and journal for them? We recently were given The Plans I Have Made for You Devotional and Journal for review! Princess will most likely be the one to use this item but I also asked for Eldest’s opinion as well.

Princess says: “I like how colorful and bright the pictures are in the devotion book. The journal looks like it would be fun to us. These books would make a nice present for someone aged 10-12.”

Eldest says: “I liked the artwork it was very different. It was eye-catching and fun. I think the contents of the devotionals would be uplifting.”

Since we homeschool it is usually assumed that we must sit around the table all day and do schoolwork which is not true for our family. We do use the kitchen table as our main hub for all sorts of kid friendly kitchen table activities.

Cooking and Meal Preparation:

Everyone has to eat so you might as well learn how to cook at a young age. Even our toddler has found fun things to do to help in the kitchen. You can read all about how a toddler can be a sous chef and be very helpful in the kitchen!
