Ramblings of a Christian Mom
Usually I keep outings and errands to a minimum on any given day. I get stressed easily, and it tends to happen quickly when I'm by myself in small stores with 4 children 5 and under. If we go out in a day, it's usually just once. So yesterday I was a bit apprehensive. I had to get the kids all out the door early (for us) to walk over to our [More...]
At the end of 2011 I asked the kids several questions to try to see how they perceive things. I loved the answers! I forgot to ask them the same questions at the end of 2012, but here they are now! Annie was in a bit of a sour mood because she had just gotten out of time out, so some of them she didn't want to answer. 1. What is [More...]
When you have a lot of littles (I have 4 kids; my eldest turned 5 in December, my youngest is 7 weeks old), it's important to nurture every bit of independence in them as you can.

I haven't written too much lately. Sorry! Here are some snapshots of what we've been up to lately. A few weeks ago I bought a L-O-N-G piece of fabric to make a baby wearing wrap with. Since the fabric was pretty plain, I decided to try snow-dyeing it to pretty it up a bit. I'll be sharing a tutorial soon! I've also been [More...]
I wish I had a better report, but I've been doing a bad job at this. Not so much right at the kids, though there have been times when I definitely could have chosen better words, but more what I mutter under my breath when I'm frustrated and my thoughts. Not too wholesome. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may [More...]
It's hard to believe that as of yesterday, Gabriel is one month old! He's growing so fast and his features are becoming more "baby" instead of "newborn" looking. I'll find out his exact weight next week, but I'm guessing he's just over 11 lbs by now. I have to be honest, he isn't my easiest baby. He eats all the time. Hungry boy. If he [More...]
Even for a mama who has had a few children, surviving the newborn phase can be hard at first. Here are some areas of Mommy-survival that I've been focusing on over the last week and a half since Gabriel was born. Sleep I love my sleep. Unfortunately, my babies tend not to be too considerate in this area. Even though it's only been about 6 [More...]
