Since I created my last Day In the Life post, a lot has changed. Another little princess was added into our family. We moved locations a year and a half ago. Our children are older and have more responsibility in the home. Plus, homeschooling has become more consistent. In general, we still follow the same routine, however, the dynamics are different and the days are filled Continue Reading
Why I Love Having All These Children
Every day is different with a house full of kids. Some days are easy where everyone is content and happy. Some days are hard where none of the children seem to be getting along which involves a lot of screaming and crying. The good weeks are when we all can have our emotions under control several days in a row. Those moments define glamorous motherhood. They will cause you Continue Reading
Is It Selfish To Not Receive?
The other day I was at Sheetz with my aunt, and while I was walking up to the checkout line, she handed me $3 to pay for my milkshake. My immediate reaction to her was, "NO, NO!"

She will be turning four in a few months, and it amazes me the maturity I've been seeing in her lately. At one point she mocked EVERYTHING I did and said. Now, if it's not me she is mocking, it's her older brothers, her father, or other adults who influence her Continue Reading

A day in the life with 4 little children
What does your average every day look like? For each of us mothers it can look different. Some of us work during the day (or during the night), some of us send our children off to school, some of us homeschool, some of us have teenagers, some of us have toddlers and babies, and so on. I know for myself, my every day is never the same. I do have a basic routine though for the Continue Reading
