21 days of prayer – week 2
Guys, this week was a struggle. The enemy must have been attacking me because I could not seem to get myself out of bed when my alarm went off! So tired… This called for a couple “on demand” plays to catch the message bit, but I still faithfully prayed while I pumped before heading out […]

how i got 18 usborne books for my family absolutely free
A few months ago, I hosted a Build-a-Library online baby shower for Emmaline and I was blessed with books from friends and family. With our sweet girl arriving a couple weeks later, I didn’t have time to cash in my Hostess Rewards. So last week I took a look and realized I could get over […]
two things you need to know if you’re a working mom

why you need a bucket list – 2018
For some, summer is full of rest before the busyness of the school year and holidays commence. It can be a wonderful time to recharge and get a fresh vision from the Lord. In this spirit, our pastor preached a message on Dreaming Again and it really got my wheels turning and I wanted to […]
10×10 summer 2018 outfit challenge
Since my post about simplifying my wardrobe, I’ve been getting rid of at least one item every week (I have a box in my room that is currently overflowing and I know I won’t sell on Shaver Closet so it needs to be taken to the thrift store). While I was doing my research on […]
