Hello Sweet Mama! Can you hear that sound? It’s the roar of school revving up again. School shopping, carpools, lunches, and no more time at the lake. A subtle stressfulness settles in our stomachs. We wonder, “Are we ready to handle fall and everything that comes with it?” Undoubtedly, letting go of summer is a trying transition, but even so, I ...

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in ...

Dear Sister, I hope your summer has been fun so far! I am excited that you are nurturing your soul with The Wise Woman Stays studies and being encouraged to keep God first in your life! The summer months tend to go by so quickly, don’t they? It’s summer vacation for the kids after all. You’re probably super busy hustling them here and ...

Hello My Friend, It’s hard to believe we’re already beginning week five of our study! I’m curious as to what God is showing you—what you’re learning! How’s your summer going? I hope you’re in full swing, enjoying the warm summer evenings, picnics, watermelon, and hot dogs or marshmallows roasted over an open fire. It’s a wonderful time to make fun memories with your ...

Hello Friends! Lately, I’ve been pondering what it means to be present with my children. I am a stay-at-home mom, so that seems easy since I am with them a lot. However, they need much more than my physical presence; they need my attention and my heart. They need me to fight for them when they push me away (not literally fight, but ...

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 Remember to Take Care of Yourself Motherhood is exhausting. If I can be honest, it is a ...

I’m done! I can’t take this anymore! This is too much for me! Dearest Mama, Do you ever feel like saying these words? We all do! Life is hard, and messy. We are sinful mamas who live in houses with sinful little (and big) people who can say and do things that make us want to give up and throw in the ...

With Mother’s Day coming this weekend I wanted to re-share a post from last summer. A day and a life of being a mom. Don’t lose heart mamas, you’re not alone. “It’s Been a Tough Day!” This mom bun has accomplished a lot today. Woke up with challenging children that caused me to have to cancel our plans for the ...

Hey mamas! Truth time! I struggle with letting my kiddos in the kitchen. Lately, I’ve really been convicted about letting go of all the excuses as to why I haven’t or “can’t” let them in the kitchen with me, or even by themselves for my older ones. Truthfully its all selfish reasons. I’m not always patient enough, I didn’t make ...

Hi Mamas! It’s Rachel here and I cannot wait to share with you one of my most favorite ever of all time mom tips – reading out loud to your kids! Practically speaking, study after study has shown that reading aloud to our children introduces them to a richer vocabulary, promotes early literacy and improves grammatical understanding. Wow! For simply ...

Hello Sweet Mamas! I’m so excited for Easter! This week, I am gathering recipes and making grocery lists. As I prepare for this meaningful holiday, this week is a time of thoughtfully considering which traditions I want to continue from my childhood and which new ones I’d like to create. Did you know that traditions are a fun, creative way ...

As we enter week 5 of our 15/5 Challenge, take a moment to stop…even for just a few seconds.  Breathe in the truth that you are a child of God, you are loved by Him and He adores all the strides you make to draw closer to Him each week. Being in your Word each day is Holy Work. It ...
