What Being PRESENT Taught Me

January 4, 2022 / CATEGORIES - BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD, FAITH

The most important hour is always the present. The most significant person is precisely the one sitting across from you right now.
Meister Eckhart

For the past two years, my word that I focused on was PRESENT. The interest in this word was born out of a desire I had (and frankly a huge weakness of mine) to be present with the people in front of me and not be distracted with other things. I often find that when I’m with other people I am distracted by many other thoughts (what I’m doing, what I need to be doing, future plans, PHONE!, etc.) So, while I’m physically present with someone, I’m not mentally or emotionally available to them. This often results in half hearing what people are saying, half responding to them, and most likely leaving them feeling unimportant… all for me to hurry on to whatever else in my day that I think is more important.

Can you relate with me?

One Day You’ll Be Too Old For This

June 14, 2021 / CATEGORIES - BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD, MOTHERHOOD

It’s tiny fingers in your mouth and a blanky snuggled close

One day you’ll be too old for this.

It’s arms reached up high with eyes longing to be held

One day you’ll be too old for this.

It’s messy bedhead and your mouth open wide waiting to be fed

One day you’ll be too old for this.

Seven Summer Activities- A Guide for Moms

– Seven Summer Activities- A Guide for Moms –

Whether you’re a mom, nanny, grandma, or anyone taking care of kids… take advantage of the outdoors with your little ones this summer!

I was inspired to create this list because my son is about a year and a half old and is finally at the age where he really enjoys being out and about doing things. Maybe you’re like me and you hear ideas about different things to do with your kids all the time! But it’s hard to keep track of them. So, I compiled this list to easily have all the different options in one place as I plan our outings this summer.

If you’re local to Greenville, I actually included some links as well, so you can head straight to the website and plan your outing! If not local, use this list as inspiration for taking advantage of your own local spots.
