I struggled trying to figure out where to start since I have so many thoughts running around in my head. I have been a stay at home mom for over nine years. It certainly has had it's moments, happy, sad, hair pulling, frustrated and blessed. Sometimes all within the same day. I created this blog to share ideas to all the other moms out there that have had their "moments".
I don't have all the answers to share with you but I do have some thoughts to share of lessons I have learned along the way. The Lord has blessed me with four wonderful amazing spirits to raise, cherish and nurture. Being a homemaker, I have learned a great deal about creating priorities. Learning about what is most important for me to spend my time on at that moment in time. When my house is a disaster and things seem to be piling up, frustration starts to mount and I find myself wondering, why can't I have just a few minutes alone to get this done. Well, the Lord had to teach me that my number one priorities is my children. These special beings that the Lord sent to this earth, to be placed in my care need to be number one. Now this doesn't mean that I let the house go to shambles or that bills don't get paid because those are part of taking care of my little ones.
What I mean is that, making time for your children actually creates more time for other things and creates a spirit of love in your home. I remember many days where it seemed like my children make messes faster than I could clean them and I thought to myself what am I doing wrong. I realized I had not been focusing on them rather the messes. So I took my little one, two at the time and set her down at the table to do some play dough. While she was busy playing and having fun, I was able to run around cleaning up the messes she had made with no new ones popping up. Thank heavens for little miracles.
Now I won't be able to share everything in this one post, I just like to say that homemaking is less about how clean your house is or if your meals are perfect but more about how you make the people in your home feel.
