There is goodness within you, never forget it. (free Fruits of the Spirit printable)
Today, enjoy this gift from me to you. A simple + free printable of the fruits of the spirit. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 I don’t know about you, but I need a constant reminder of the goodness that is permanently planted within me. I need this visual to help me step up when darkness tries to take over my days, my attitude, my behaviors, my motherhood and sometimes even my marriage. Because darkness can creep in anywhere if we let it. “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear…
Ten Completely Free and Simple Ways to Self Care
Self care is all the rage for today’s mama. And I get it. Less martyr. More intention. Being a good mom doesn’t mean you sacrifice every moment of every day. But now we’ve created a cross culture, where if you aren’t getting these luxurious self care moments, you aren’t momming right either. And this can leave us feeling even more depleted. A few years in to parenting I felt so frustrated. We are told because we are moms, we deserve all this luxurious me time. Elaborate (and expensive) pampering sessions, endless beauty products, time away from my kids. So why wasn’t it happening? And when I did take that time,…

10 Gifts For The Minimalist, The Person Who Has Everything, Or The Person Who Hates Everything
So you’ve found yourself here because of one too many gift giving incidents have gone bad. Don’t worry, I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there. If you were at my wedding, and you heard my brothers’ speeches, you know that I am the queen of a sour poker face when it comes to receiving gifts. I consider it as a compliment. It means I’m a horrible liar. 😉 Maybe you’re here because you have someone who simply already has All. The. Things. And finding a gift that’s new and will be loved is an impossible task. Ooooor, maybe you’re here because a loved one is a new found minimalist. So…
Do not forget your man
Ladies. Do not forget your man. Do not forget who he is. Do not forget who he was. When you met him. When you fell in love with him. When you married him. Do not forget him. I was on the edge. I was there. We were mucking through our daily life. Trying to just survive every day. Every counter that needed wiping. Every butt that needed wiping. So much wiping. It all started when we fell in love. We got married. We travelled. But then we had kids. And more kids. And even more kids. Then we moved to a new city. Bought a new house. Got a new…
Simplicity Parenting: a mama’s must read!
My recent delve down the rabbit hole that is known as minimalism has drawn me to a new branch of parenting. Minimalistic Parenting. Not because I love self help books. Because I prefer a good romance novel any day over the self help section. But as I’ve minimized our life and home bit by bit (and when I say bit by bit, I’m talking van and truck loads of stuff removed from our home), I’ve slowly seen the simple rewards creep in. A quieter home, happier children, better communication with my husband, a lighter heart, a stronger spiritual connection with God. It really has placed a simplicity and zen into our…
