Keeping House or Keeper At Home

by @ Wednesday, January 27th, 2010. Filed under Cup of Faith, Family & Kids, Mommie Stuff, Parenting, Stewardship

The idea of the housewife in apron and pearls permeates even my line of thinking when it comes to the title “Homekeeper”.  The problem is, that is where the trivialization of this role began.  Being a Keeper At Home is far more valuable than Keeping House. Keeping House implies housework, drudgery, and simple servitude.  A [...]

Get Started Organizing

After tackling my desk yesterday in honor of National Clean Your Desk day, I discovered something!  I’ve always known I am easily overwhelmed by a lot of little tasks.  I see the big picture before me and everything begins to blur into one big glob and I’m easily lost in the ginormous proportions of the [...]

Picky Eaters – One the Go Eating

My little ones graze. I mean they do not sit for a normal meal. They prefer to eat a little here and a little there. They are “On the Go Eaters.” Toddlers are growing in so many ways; however, their little tummies can’t contain much at a time. This is why they tend to eat [...]

Tuesdays Mommy Tip – Listening

Listening. This is a vital ingredient to a healthy relationship, and proper communication. Many Moms, like myself, are multi-taskers. Many times I keep my eyes on the computer screen and give them the hmm sounds…LOL. My toddler no longer accepts that as me listening! Smart girl! Lack of eye contact can be a problem when [...]
