I am sure I am not the only person that never watched the age old classic It’s a Wonderful Life until they were well into their 30’s. This Christmas season I finally sat down and watched this entire movie from beginning to end. If you haven’t seen the movie, I am totally going to spoil…

Mom Advice: Just Keep Smiling :)
I know it is hard to find the strength to smile when life feels like a never ending string of demands, but keep doing it. Hold your head up in confidence even if others think you should be doing it differently. You are doing your best. Believe it. You ARE enough. It is OK that…
I don’t like being a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) – 5 Ways to Manage the Chaos!
I’ve been pretty open about my struggles to become settled in my identity as a YOUNG mom of many children. I’ve had a LONG journey on my way to learning how to love it. It hasn’t come naturally to me, nor has it come easily. I’ve had to accept my shortcomings, seek council from others…
Don’t Call Me SuperMom. From a Mom of 6 Kids Under 10.

I wrote this post on another blog about a year ago, right after the birth of my FIFTH baby! She turned ONE today, and this last year flew by faster than ANY OTHER one of my children’s first year. I suppose it is because she has been such a HUGE blessing (all of my children…
MOTHERHOOD SERIES: The NEW You!
Whether you work, stay at home, are single or married, being a mom to young children and babies is hard work. When I hear older, more seasoned moms tell me it’s worth it, all I can think about is how I will NOT miss the tantrums, the blowouts, the lack of sleep, the endless games…
