Faith > Fear during a Pandemic
Right now I am sitting on my bed listening to three of our littles play with trains and blocks, sweet giggles and shouts of joy as they accomplish what they are wanting to build. My fourth (Bubby, our 7 year old) moved to a bedroom downstairs this weekend and is probably looking at a book or playing with his action figures until bedtime. And I am so thankful for their innocence, their absolute naiveté of everything going on in the world they live in. All they know is that we have to stay home, that there’s an illness going around that we don’t want to catch or share with our…

How to Manage Mountains of Laundry
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #TryMembersMark #CollectiveBias As a growing family of five we always strive to find the most affordable and reliable products to use for our family. Whether it’s paper products, meats, diapers, or laundry detergent. Laundry detergent is a big one, it can get super costly to keep our house stocked with a good quality detergent to clean the many clothing items, linens, and more that we dirty up. I probably do 10 loads of laundry a week, that’s including diapers most of the time. But usually it’s more than that. My kids know…

On the other hand, kids are often reluctant to give the adults a hand with the household chores which is the cause for a lot of conflicts between them and their parents. Of course, you cannot expect from your 5-year-old kid to maintain the home perfectly clean and…

Shaking Off These Heavy Chains
Since I was a teenager God has ALWAYS always spoken to me through music. Whether it be a song on the radio, a song at a concert, at church… or even a song I wrote myself. I don’t sing or write or play music as often as I did before, or as often as I would like… but He still reaches out to me and speaks to me through song. On my worst days I can rely on Him to bring me back to the surface with an uplifting song. Today was no different. I haven’t written anything personal in a while, and for good reason. On March 18, J…

He Calmed the Storm
He is SO good. I posted before about how rough things were around here. The stresses of what we were experiencing in regards to J’s job and being stuck at home without a vehicle with both kids AND pregnant were triggering situational anxiety and panic attacks for me. We were overwhelmed with everything, worried about our future… we cried out to Jesus over and over and over. And honestly… it felt like we were being ignored. How foolish of us. But we’ve all been there, haven’t we? God calmed our storm… He stopped the downpour and He did so just a short few weeks before our sweet Baby Bird is due…
