this week i am attempting to tackle 2 big things and it all revolves the bathroom…and me spending less time in it! teaching mason to wipe. we decided in our family when you turn 5 you “get to” wipe yourself. so mason is in the process of learning that and doing quite nicely. teaching the […]
all day long I have choices. from the moment I get up until I lay my head down at night. will i start my day in the Word or sleep till little hands are poking me to get up? how to discipline this certain child in this certain situation? work out today or no? what’s […]
One of the things I like best about being a mom is getting to be a kid all over again. Who doesn’t love a shaving cream fight? I’ve always been young at heart, it’s not like I need my kids for an excuse to be silly. That just comes naturally. But they do give me […]
