Some excellent, much needed (by me at least!) reminders from Bambi at In the Nursery of the Nation: Even as busy moms who have crumbs that seem to permanently reside in the kitchen chairs, we can still have lovely homes if our hearts are willing. Fresh paint, colorful adornments to the walls or fancy furniture will [...]

Words of wisdom from Kelly Crawford over at Generation Cedar: When Christians stop being “Kingdom-minded”, they stop making Kingdom choices. Choices like devoting a life to raising the next generation to love God, to honor authority and to live wisely. The very church of Christ has so degraded the blessing of children (and thus minimized a [...]

“O dear mothers, you have a very sacred trust reposed in you by God! He hath in effect said to you, “Take this child and nurse it for Me, and I will give thee thy wages.” You are called to equip the future man of God, that he may be thoroughly furnished unto every good [...]

A convicting read over at Raising Homemakers: What is my own attitude telling them that I really believe at this moment?

From Lea Ann Garfias over at LAF: I have not always felt “quiet confidence” in rearing little dynamos. To the contrary, I was fairly certain my first toddler was destined for juvie. He began several mornings in a row by shaking his little fist in my face, declaring, “I will not obey you today, Mommy!” [...]

Important reminders from my sister Clara: It’s so easy to rush through them in an effort to get to “the things that matter”. We hurry the kids through breakfast so we can “get on with the day”; we count down the minutes til naptime so we can “get something done” while they sleep. We tell [...]

More wisdom and encouragement from KimC: The easy answer is that I got through the days one at a time. Anyone can run a house with 6 little ones for a day, right? Just one day? All it takes is 3 meals (2 if you cheat or run so late that breakfast turns into brunch), [...]
