Hey Mama Monday: You Are Beautiful, Mama

Hey Mama, How come you keep muttering under your breath again? What’s “Epic Mama Fail” you have been whispering? Perish the thought. Get rid of it. Yeah, we all blow it. There are days we act really dumb, and times we wish we could rewind the clock backwards (20 years?). Kicking ourselves when we’re already

Hey Mama Monday: Have a Blessed New Year, Mama

  Hey Mama, So much to be thankful for. Look at this time last year. You have grown. There have been trials, tribulations, problems, hurtful seasons, and pain. There has also been joy, new life, friends who have stayed closer than a brother, and blessings from the Lord’s hand so direct that you know it

Hey Mama Monday: Do Christian Kids Belong in Public School?

  It may seem tempting some days. Why not send the kids on the public school bus and have the whole day (and the house!) to yourself? Or head off to a job where you can earn some respect and increase the family budget. Wouldn’t that be nice? But . . . wait a minute.

Hey Mama Monday: 10 Reasons Today Went Better than You Thought

  Hey Mama, Today went better than you thought. Let’s see why: Your kids laughed their silly heads off today at least once. They were fed, and they are just FINE. Your house is a disaster, like 99% of other homeschool mommies’ houses are. But all barf and other icky stuff is cleaned up and

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, His Mercies Are New Every Day

  Hey Mama, I don’t know about you, but I can always use friends who help me bear the weight of homeschooling and mothering, and sometimes those friends are all that are keeping me in an upright position. (Grin) Just stopping by to remind you to pray tonight. Not that I’d expect you to forget;

Hey Mama Monday: Are You Counting Days, Mama?

  Hey Mama, Count the days. Right? You have Monday through the weekend with your kids, and then your week is over. Finito. Done. This particular week will be forever gone. Any opportunities we choose not to seize, any moments we decide not to give that hug and kiss, any choices we make to scowl

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Are You Thankful?

  Hey, Mama! Let’s talk about God’s provision a little more. It’s a major issue with many homeschooling Mamas, and I want to make sure we have the right perspective on the Lord and His will for our lives. It’s a reality that we need things. Look around your home; we have drawers and closets

Hey Mama Monday: Are You Patient, Mama?

  Hey, Mama! You gotta know this: they will utterly fail sometimes. Your children are a work in progress, so resist the temptation to think they have arrived. You are setting yourself up for disappointment or even anger if you do. Think about your own walk with the Lord. He is the perfect Parent. There

Hey Mama Monday: Stay Soft, Mama!

  Hey, Mama! God’s Word promises us trials. Some of us know a little too well what those are (or so we think). They are tests, spiritual ones, that God uses to grow us into Christ’s likeness… provided we don’t resist the lesson and avoid what He’s attempting to show us. If we do, we

Hey Mama Monday: Has God Provided for You, Mama?

  Hey, Mama! What do you think about God’s provision? When comparing it to the way you and your husband provide for your own children, does it measure up? It is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking “Where is God? Why won’t He provide?” when in actuality, you may be asking for

Hey Mama Monday: Mama, Should You Be a Referee or a Trainer?

  Do your kids squabble? Does it drive you bananas when they fight, non-stop? When they were babies, I just couldn’t wait for them to be big enough to interact and play with their older siblings. It would be so cute! They’d be best friends, and love each other, get along famously, and the older
