Yesterday I gave you a picture of my week in the form of what I do with the 168 hours that I have been given. I disclosed how many hours a week that I spend on work, cleaning, kiddos, husband, etc. The calculation revealed some areas of change that need to occur so that my schedule truly reflects what and whom I value. In today's post, ...
Scheduling Success: Does Your Schedule Match Your Priorities
What is most important in my life? It's a question that must first be tackled before a schedule can be made. I shared the "Christian" answer last week in a post. God My husband My children My friends My job I would like to say that my life looks very close to this list. But it was a discussion in my Bible study that opened my ...
Encouraging Verses for Women
On Wednesday, I shared encouragement from the Scriptures. In return, you shared your go-to verses with me. I wanted to compile some of the verses that you gave me (thank you!) so that we can all easily find, memorize, or share these verses with other women in our lives. You may even want to pin (button above) or share (buttons ...
Homework Assignment for You – Do You Dare?
I know what you are thinking. I am way to busy to do some little homework assignment for Heidi. She must be crazy if she thinks that I can sit down for five minutes to do something that isn't required! But what if I tell you that this little homework assignment will change your life? Are you interested now? As you ...
Scheduling Your Day
When I say that I am Type A, I might as well just hand over my schedule because you know behind every Type A personality is a detailed plan. But let's face it; our house runs much smoother when I have a plan and follow it. In the What Do YOU Want? post several of you have asked for ideas to help you plan your day. ...
I Have Not Stopped Praying For You
I love praying the scriptures. There is power in praying God's Holy Word. The scripture and prayer below comes from a message spoken at our church this summer. This morning, I have prayed this for each one of you! Colossians 1:9-14 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. ...
Thank God for Unanswered Prayers
It was a popular country song when I was in high school. To tell the truth, I still like the song by Garth. The lyrics have caused me to think back to some of my own prayers and the answers I have received. But it was an Adventures in Odyssey episode that gave me a new perspective on the thanksgiving for "Unanswered Prayers." The storyline ...
Flick Him Off
Two weeks ago, we were thrown a curveball. It began with the words, "severe delay." Once again, we heard that Bubs was months behind in development. A fact that takes the breath out of this momma. In January, I began to see some red flags concerning Bubs' reading and spelling. After talking to his teacher, we buckled down at home ...
Review: Raising Financially Confident Kids
"In other areas of life, we were diligently teaching our children important values of responsibility, honesty, self-discipline, and faith. But failing so miserably in this matter." Any guessing on what "this" matter may be? After looking at the book image above, you probably guessed it. Financial responsibility. Looking back, Mary ...
Making a Toddler Talk
Can you make a toddler talk? Well it depends who you ask. But in the case of our little Peanut, I believe you can. Bubs was a slow talker. He ended up in speech because of it. Sweet Pea talked very early. Little Man was having conversations before some kiddos can walk. (Okay this is an exaggeration but not much of one!) Now Peanut enters the ...
