    Advocating for the Birth you Want and Deserve

    March 10, 2023 / No Comments

    Advocating for the Birth You Want and Deserve There is much to be said about having a voice.  Regardless of what subject we’re talking about, having a say in the matter (when it concerns you and/or those you love) is paramount for many reasons.  Feeling out of control, muffled or silenced leads to unnecessary anxiety, stress, worry and other complications that can only compound and make matters worse.  Regarding pregnancy and birth, one of the most sacred topics that exists, we must have the boldness and confidence to advocate for ourselves, our baby(s) and others who may not have that level of courage yet. Over the years, pregnancy, birth and…

    Ways to Make Money as a Stay at Home Mom

    January 22, 2023 / No Comments

    There are so many ways to make money nowadays that it can seem overwhelming.  10-15 years ago, there were not nearly as many options to choose from, and you really had to know where to look.  Thankfully, for you, I’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of it and compiled a list of some of the best ways to earn an income from home.   As you know, if you’ve been around here for some time, after our second child was born I had a burning desire (that has not left me since) to stay home with my kids.  I fully intended on re-entering the workforce while pregnant, but once…

    How to Deal with Difficult People

    December 5, 2022 / No Comments

    We can never be perfect like Jesus, but think about this for inspiration:  on the most difficult day of His life as a man (remember, He was both fully man and fully God), Jesus chose to – while suffering greatly and being able to stop it all if He chose – forgive His assailants and accusers.  In our eyes, He had every right to at least be angry, but no – He chose forgiveness and compassion.  “They know not what they do”.  We might not always choose to immediately forgive, or to say kind things directly in the face of adversity (far less than what Jesus experienced, too), and –…

    How to Feel Excited for the Holidays

    November 25, 2022 / No Comments

    To some, the mere thought of actually hating Christmas, Thanksgiving or birthdays is abhorrent.  Why would you?  How could you?  Nobody does – right?  Well……. I haven’t been around the too long, but I have met some real life Scrooges in my time, and while misunderstood by many, people have their reasons. A lot of times, it’s as simple as this:  Holidays bring up old feelings.  Perhaps a loved one has passed and their memories still linger, causing the pain of nostalgia for what was.  Perhaps there is bitterness from a pass hurt and a time that would typically be full of joy and fellowship feels empty and hollow.  The…

    How to Stop Complaining all the Time

    November 19, 2022 / No Comments

    I wanted to share a tip that I use to combat grumbling.  Grumbling is something I’m sure we all struggle with, whether we want to admit it or not.  But, how can we help our fellow sister’s in Christ – or ANYONE for that matter – if we don’t share our struggles and how we use our weaknesses to glorify God. in 2 Cor 12:9-10 Paul is boasting about his weakness, and he says this is so that the power of Christ may dwell in him. So. . .  let’s boast away, cause who doesn’t need more of *THAT pwer, amirite??? Ok, so.. here’s my tip (but first my confession,…

    October 15, 2022 / No Comments

    Yes, my living room is a playground, and No, I won’t apologize for it. As I was cleaning up yesterday’s toys off of the living room floor, early this morning – because I had a few minutes between loads of laundry, an hour or two before the baby wakes up and a little extra energy (Thanks, Red), I thought back to an image I once saw, it was a cartoon image of mother and a young child, both viewing the same exact room, but both with a completely difference perspective. The mother saw chaos, disorganization, mess, disaster and most certainly embarrassment should anyone come knocking on the door unexpectedly.  The…

    How to Survive on One Income?

    May 27, 2018 / No Comments

    The economy isn’t what it used to be, friends.  20 some years ago it was completely acceptable and attainable for families to get by in a one income household.  Nowadays, we see moms dropping off their newborns to daycare, relatives homes, leaving them with dad who just got off third shift work himself, and hustling off to a 9-5 (or more) job.  I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with moms working, heck – I say more power to ya if you can juggle it all! – but… lots of moms don’t have a choice.  There are some families who want mom to stay at home and raise the kids, but…

    Alright, I’m putting myself out there.  This is not a very flattering image of me, but I love it anyway because it was one of those moments.  The type of moment where you are just lost in pure bliss and fun, without regard of anyone around you thinking you’ve lost your mind.  Yeah, I just teeter-tottered with my 12 year old niece and my youngest two children in the middle, yes, my hair is a frizzy mess from ridiculous New Jersey humidity levels, and yep, I don’t care!  Y’all, it’s time to break free! Do you remember when… Can you remember the last time you played outside with your kids…

I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s be I’ve been thinking about coffee again, it’s been smelling good to me (I hated the smell for awhile) and I was trying to remember how it tasted, so I decided this morning to make a small cup.  It was pretty yummy, although not *as* good as I remember. 

I’ll decide on a morning by morning basis if I want to have a cup or not.  I really have been enjoying my teas lately. 

It’s important to not tilt to the extreme in anything.  I find when I say things like “I can’t have that” I feel restricted, and even flipping it to “I don’t want to have that” feels like a lie - I truly *didnt* want it for over a month, but then I did, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I use local raw honey and grass fed cream in my coffee, and it’s organic.  So it’s not bad for me in moderation, which is pretty much how I’ve always enjoyed it (except during my pregnancy with Gianna, I would drink a pot a day while waitressing at Cracker Barrel - it didn’t seem to effect her, lol). 

All this to say, don’t be so hard on yourself mama!  I’m pretty much back down to zero sugar (in cooking, baking, etc) and only have the occasional “treat” so I’m pretty proud of myself as far as that goes.  If I want a cup of coffee, I’ll have it 🥰 

Oh as far as results of giving it up for about 6ish weeks…. I didn’t notice much of a difference in energy levels. I thought once it was “out of my system” I’d get some type of energy boost, but I think being pregnant just has me tired.  Maybe I’m just too hard on myself.
