Written by Lisa @ This Pilgrim Life, Contributing Writer My kids often ask why they have to go to sleep at all. Why isn't an afternoon nap enough? Why do we have to sleep so much at night? And maybe most importantly to them, when are my parents going to bed and what am I going to be missing out on? These are deep questions to young kids, and of course there's always the "because I told you so" approach to settle their queries. Honestly, there are plenty of … [Read more...]
5 Easy Ways to Bring Spring to Your Home
February 23, 2015 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Lisa @ This Pilgrim Life As I write this, there is a fresh coating of snow on the ground at my house. It's our token snowfall of the year.

Eating Real Food on (Really Long) Road Trips
July 11, 2014 By
Written by Jenn @ A Simple Haven, Contributing Writer This summer, my little family and I took a two and a half week road trip through Canada and Maine. We made several stops along the way; either in a hotel or a friend's house for a night or for several days in a rental house. We travel pretty regularly as a family but this was by far the longest we've been away from home and all of the conveniences home affords--especially in the kids and food departments. Adventures in traveling with … [Read more...]
Are You a Slave to Your To-Do List?
June 11, 2014 By
Written by Karli @ Feed Me Mama, Contributing Writer One of the biggest investments I have made in myself as a homemaker is purchasing a really nice, well thought out planner. The most useful part of my beloved planner is that each day has it's own page, with it's own "to do list" section. At night before I go to bed, and then again in the morning, I add to and edit my to-do list for the day, adding things I didn't accomplish from the day before making sure I am not forgetting anything … [Read more...]
A Time and Place for Survival Mode
June 9, 2014 By
Written by Jenn @ A Simple Haven, Contributing Writer Survival mode. It doesn't sound particularly enticing, does it? It seems to be the antithesis of living intentionally, toward your goals and in line with your values. It sounds like just getting by. And who wants to do that? Not me. And yet, survival mode is where I find myself. In a season of being newly pregnant and feeling yuck, with my husband in summer school and working longer hours + traveling more than usual, I am just … [Read more...]
