Friendship is a valuable gift from God, one that can be hard to find time for as a busy mom. Fulfilling a deeper desire to connect with other women in friendship might be tugging at your heart, but leaves you feeling stumped at how to get started.
When I was a middle and high school student, I used to love collecting stickers. I had so many that my children were able to enjoy much of my collection!
We just LOVE the stickers from the Faith That Sticks collection. They carry meaning for my children beyond simple stickers.
Last month, I confessed how the last decade of my life has been marked by fear and yet thanks to an adventuresome opportunity at family camp, I recognized how living in fear was stealing joy from my life . . . and from my children. {Read that post here.} That “big swing” moment marked off a life once lived in fear, and I’m in awe at how God has invited me to walk in brave faith ever since.
With three boys who are only five years apart, a friendly game of putt-putt can quickly get the competitive ( and unfriendly) juices flowing.
We'd only made it to the third hole on the miniature-golf course when one of my boys got a hole in one. He squealed with excitement!
But his joy was short-lived with his brother's harsh words - “That was such an easy hole. You just got lucky. I'm so much better than you at this game.”
Hi sweet moms!
So, summer is coming, and with it, all the ideals of this mama who wants to make this summer the best one yet. I always feel the pressure to give my kids amazing memories of days by the pool, back yard fun, beach combing and an epic vacation. . . you know, nothing major but just all their dreams come true. The thing is though, When I ask my kids what they want to do with the lazy days ahead, they just want the simple stuff. The ice cream cones and firefly catching and lazy days where sometimes dinner is only a pop tart and a run through the sprinklers counts as bath time. They just want a family that is happy to be together.
In recent years, one way we have added a little structure to care free days and enjoyed the simplicity of the season is with Nature Study.
