Trusting God’s Plans for My Children

  This is my daughter’s third year studying classical ballet, and she loves it. After her first year, her teacher decided to keep her in level one. I agreed that if she hadn’t mastered the basics, it made sense for her to remain there until she was ready to move on. After all, as a

Hey Mama Monday: If Your To-Do List Is Overflowing, It Doesn’t Mean You’re Failing.

  Hey Mama, Was your week perfect? Did you fail at all? Even once? Were there any meltdowns (from you and/or the kids)? How about grief or pain… any of that? Some of the kids run away or starve? Did the house burn down? Another week in the life of a Mama. A family who

Re-Inventing Family Night

  When our first two sons were seven and two, friends of ours declined a movie invitation saying they had a commitment with their kids that night. We were intrigued and asked what they were up to. They shared that Friday nights were family night and that they simply played games and invented stuff together.

How to Avoid Distractions During Prayer Time

  As a middle-aged homeschool mom, I can tell you some things are now easier for me. My routine is automatic and the house is in pretty good order after years of decluttering. My children are older and almost independent with their schoolwork and chores. Yet, my latest struggle is finding ways to develop a

Begin the Year with Music in Your Child’s Heart

  Have you ever thought about why music exists in the world? There are plenty of sounds in nature. We are given ears to hear the words of others—but why does music soothe our souls? I have spent countless hours thinking about music. What is it about certain musical keys and intervals that vibrate those

A Redo

When I think of a new year, I think of a new beginning. I find hope in a new start or a redo from the previous year. Before I can envision what I hope my new year will look like, my mind goes back in time. I’m not talking about going back to childhood or
