I Get You

Mommas deal with so many differnt kinds of things: Every.Single.Day. Trying to make ends meet financially, feeling frustration about not staying on top of everything, weariness from repetitive chores, sleep deprivation, struggling to find time for self-care…Being a momma is not exactly what most people would call a glamorous job. For most of us, we can get lost in the weeds of everyday maintenance. However, there is possibly no more important job in the world! There is good reason behind that old adage, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”.*

I believe I know first-hand some of your pain points! Having raised my own five children as a SAHM while volunteering partime in my local Church’s private school, building upkeep, freehand graphic design for events, and generally helping wherever and whenever opportunity presented itself, I have personal experience in some of what you may experience raising your family in this rather wild and wooly world we live in. My goal: I want to offer you my “outside-insider’s” perspective to enahnce the abundant life you’re living, or transition you into it!

What’s offered here is based on biblical principles that Just Work, whether you’re looking for inexpensive ways to have family fun, inspiring home-décor ideas, exciting recipes to try, or whatever else you may be interested in that’s related to traditional Christian Family homelife.
