We have co-slept with all of our babies and I love it!!! We started co-sleeping because as a nursing mom that’s the only way I could get sleep! I would just roll over and nurse them back to sleep and that way I would never have to get up. There’s actually a lot of studies showing that this is better for the baby and...2023-06-2211 minLifegiving MotherhoodTuesday Devotional | Meditating on God's Word June 20, 2023Today's devotional is about meditating in God's word. Sometimes we hit spiritually dry spells and this can be when we're feeling disconnected from the Lord, or haven't spent time with our Bible, and we've just been listening to worship music not really hearing it and listening to the what the lyrics actually mean.
Sit down with me today as I chat with you about filling your spiritual cup. We uncover Psalm 1: 2-3 and learn ways we can soak in God's word and feel refreshed by it.

Today I'm talking about technology and discipline. Not allowing bad behavior slide. Knowing that it's okay to discipline your kids even if they don't like it! It's okay to teach our kids boundaries - in fact that's our job! It's important we're teaching our kids that they cannot act out when they do so. And knowing that when they do have bad behavior they will be getting in trouble for it! I am talking about the excuses we make as parents for why our kids...2023-06-1218 minLifegiving MotherhoodChasing Your Dreams Unapologetically"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don't. And believe that everything happens for a reason if you get a chance - take it; if it changes your life - let it. Nobody said that it would be easy... they just promised it would be worth it!"

Even if it's people you disconnect from. There is nothing in the Bible that says you have to remain friends with someone who has hurt you, or has done you wrong. Matthew 5: 43-48 says; "You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven."

I took some time to put together a summer schedule for him and I think it will be really helpful for him to know what to expect ahead of time. I've learned as a mom for over 6 years now, that when the kids know what to expect they do better. Not surprising though because as an adult, I feel the same way!
