Everyone Can Help at Home: Kids, Dads + Tips for Balance

Our household felt out of balance during my first year homeschooling. Dishes, cleaning, floors, bathrooms, the clutter piled up and stressed me out. I had to shift my thinking to realize just how everyone can help at home-this includes chores for the kids, ideas for dads to spend time with the kids and a focus on the tasks that were most important to complete. I did not … [Read more...]

We Are Girls

The next generation of female empowerment starts now. Mom Motivation Mondays.

Make Dads Feel Special

Dads deserve to be appreciated every day. These Father's Day gift ideas are frugal and do not take a lot of time to put together to make dads feel special and loved every day. #sponsored

I do not know any dad who is interested in doing complicated Pinterest-projects with their kids, but I do know a lot of dads who want to be present and important in their child’s life. Since my husband is a military guy, we … [Read more...]

The Compass of Values

A child's compass of values are his or her parents. Are we leading our children on the right path?

Since you spend every day-or close to it-with your child, I would guess you value family to a great degree. Whether you know it or not, you teach that family is important and you probably hope your child will grow to value 'family' as well. Every day your mission is caring for your family.  Family is our first connection to faith. Family is our compass of values. God … [Read more...]

The “Other Half” of a Stay-at-Home Mom: The Working Dad

The working dad-an essential part of being a stay-at-home mom.

I would be terribly forgetful if I did not mention one phenomenal half of the whole picture on being a stay-at-home mom: the working husband!  How in the world could we do what we do without their sacrifice? I sometimes envy my husband leaving for work every day, although not the hour that he wakes up, or the drive from here to there and back. He has so much on his shoulders. I … [Read more...]
