I cannot believe we actually have a ONE year old! Granted she's the 3rd baby, but only a few short years ago, I didn't know if we would have any more babies, then I got pregnant and after 40+ weeks she was welcomed into the world at home on March 5, 2014. London is a vibrant little lady. She's full of life! She adores her big brother and sister, she's into everything. Her laugh is contagious and only smiles when she feels like it (Hum, wonder what kind of teenager she'll be) … [Read more...]
1st Birthday Canvas
April 17, 2015 By
I absolutely love getting crafty. Between part-time homeschooling, activities, and the regular day to day tasks I feel as though getting crafty has been put on the back burner. I have been more focused on getting the chores done, working around naptime, and so much more that I have forgotten to have a little fun. So my mission as we enter Spring and on into Summer, is to have more fun! And getting crafty is so much fun to me and my kids love it as well. So I … [Read more...]
The Birth Story of London Everleigh {Part Three}
March 5, 2015 By
In parts one and two, I shared how London Everleigh arrived via planned homebirth with a midwife. It's an amazing story (to me) of waiting on God, learning to trust Him more and more and having the courage to bring her into this world the way I had planned and get to experience it. Although I know that's not always the case even if you had planned a homebirth, like my friend Sarah, but not matter what, a baby's birth is a miraculous thing. In honor of London's 1st … [Read more...]
The Birth Story of London Everleigh {Part Two}
November 5, 2014 By
I know, I know, I am very "fashionably late" with the 2nd part of London's birth story. But better late then never right?? London is only 8 months as of today :) If you haven't read part 1 yet, click on over to read the first part. Now back to the birth story: A little bit before my "Yes come!" text to my midwife that I told you about in part one of this story was when I realized this baby IS coming today, I could not wait to meet him or her. We never found out the gender … [Read more...]
Moms, make time for yourself
October 29, 2014 By
Written by Christy @ Fresh Mix Momma, *NEW* Contributing Writer Okay, fess up..how many moms out there lost themselves after they had kids? It’s a common thing that happens to many of us (especially stay at home mommies.) We are tried & exhausted from taking care of the house, work and the kids..we certainly don’t have time to do anything for ourselves! I know..I get it, we’ve all had our “I just want to stay in my yoga pants and not shower” days. but it’s time to stand up and … [Read more...]
DIY Hormone Balancing Tea
September 22, 2014 By
Written by Karli @ Feed Me Mama, Contributing Writer One of the very first areas of alternative medicine that I adopted into my own life was studying herbs and medicinal teas. Soon after I got married, I worked in a natural cosmetics shop, which introduced me to the benefits of healing and supporting your body with natural ingredients. I was fascinated with the properties of herbs- the way that chamomile tea could put me to sleep, and peppermint could wake me up, but both could help a … [Read more...]
On Being Organized
September 19, 2014 By
Written by Allie @ The Purposeful Housewife, Contributing Writer *Please meet Allie, she's a new contributor here. I hope you'll leave a comment on how you relate to organization. Over the past year, I have had to become a more organized person. When you have three kids in three years, a marriage and household to run, you sort of get forced into things that don't always match your personality. I've had to stop whining and just accept that my life calls for some … [Read more...]
Parenting and Educating Inspiration for the Fall
August 27, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Jenn @ A Simple Haven For me, August feels a bit like January. It's a time to evaluate routines, dream about the (school) year to come, set some new goals, and get inspired. My kids aren't even school-aged yet, but having been a teacher for so long and with my husband in school, I naturally break the calendar into semesters. So I look forward to the fall semester with anticipation, knowing that I have just one more year with my big girl before she starts … [Read more...]
Dear Mama, You Are Enough.
August 22, 2014 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Karli @ Feed Me Mama Last week, I broke down. I just couldn't do it anymore- the endless days of consoling, changing diapers, trying to stay on top of laundry and cooking and cleaning. Trying to remember the last time I read my Bible. Praying when I remembered to, but only asking for sanity. Balancing being a wife and mother and entrepreneur but really just struggling to keep my head above water. My own negativity, self-pity and jealousy was so thick I … [Read more...]
115+ Reasons to LOVE Breastfeeding
August 7, 2014 By
I didn't realize that it was World Breastfeeding Week when I asked over 100+ women to participate in a survey questioning Mothers about feeding their babies, specifically breastfeeding. Coincidentally, I am sharing these reasons why mothers love breastfeeding their babies but on the flip side, I feel for those who chose not to or just did not breastfeed for whatever reason and may feel judged, resented or hurt. And In no way is this post meant to do that! In fact, only … [Read more...]
