If your life is as full as mine , I know your struggle.
The struggle, tears & frustration to get everything done, please everyone & look flawless....
Do to the media and reality shows a few women have misrepresented all stay at home moms, work @ home moms & homeschool moms!!
We don't wear heals and design dresses around spotless home with no kids and toys in site....with perfect nail hair & make up all day.....
Big wake up call that's only on TV.... The reality is most moms are up close to 6 go to bed close to 11 or 12pm.
We work hard to keep a clean home, well mannered kids & healthy happy spouses.
Sounds easy right? It's not, it's one of the hardest jobs you will ever have.
We have so many roles......teacher, mom, nurse, friend, chef, maid & taxi just to name a few
We are rarely appreciated or noticed as the priceless jewels we are!!
Be encouraged ladies! & do it as unto The Lord.... He knows all the struggles & he promises to give us the grace to endure & be with us!!
If you didn't get to shower, wash the dishes, lesson plan, make the grocery list for the next week, get the kids dressed, get dinner done in time etc... It's ok
Your not alone & the most import thing is a happy family & home
Do the best you can then leave the rest for God.... Did u know that no problem is to big or small for him.... Stress isn't healthy so take care of yourself.
Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, smile, think positive thoughts, complain less & pray more!!
Soon I will share what I desire to do, what I actually do & what I need to do
My daily schedule
My journey organizing & de-cluttering my home & time
My natural journey ( hair, cleaning products, makeup , foods and drinks)
My road to being a mom of 4

Our Christmas
How can I not express my gratitude for all I have and all I am??
All I am is because of the love grace & mercy Jesus shared on the cross for me.
This Christmas we keep the main thing the main thing!!
We celebrated baby Jesus birth the ultimate gift to all of us.....
We didn't go into debt or spend our last... Instead we baked & made chocolate goodies & spent time with loved ones!!
The goal was for each child to receive 3 gifts just like baby Jesus! The kids loved our gifts
We asked for educational items, music lessons, swim lessons, art & pe classes from outside family & friends. Well the boys will be taking swim lessons starting in January!!
I was an awesome day & despite some challenges it has been a great week off.... Tonight I was able to play games & have personal quality time with everyone .... To me that's an awesome Christmas & as an extra bonus the kitchen it clean & it looks great :)

Beautiful me, Beautiful you
When you look up the word beauty it is defined many ways.....
One way is to give great plasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc(dictionary.com)
When you look up beauty in the bible it says
* 1 Samuel 16:7 ".......man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks @ the heart."
* 1 Peter 3:3-4 ' Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and wearing of Gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty and gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
It is not written: in either you must be this size, this height, this complection, wear these clothes/shoes/bags/accesories....
My point is shift your focus!
Stop spending money of designer this and designer that!!
What God requires and considers beauty you can't even buy. Now, I am not saying dont even brush your hair today or you teeth lol, because your body is the temple of the most high God! Take care of yourself and represent him well!!
However, to be beautiful take a few minutes to look at your heart and not the room full of STUFF you have "Let a man examine himeslf" 1st Corinthians 11:28 and your attitute ( are you showing the love of God), your love for people ( would you share your last)
MK bags are nice but it will not make you inside beautiful nor get you to heaven so today my challange for you is to show 1 stranger love, However you do it is fine with me Just do it....
A hug, a smile, an encouraging word, open a door, close a door, return the shopping cart, pay for an elderly coffee, pay for someone drink, say a prayer for someone, share, give, bake something....you get the idea....

Greetings! I love the Lord with all my heart!
I am a wife, mom of 3 phenomal boys, and I work from home. I love green living & after all of the questions I have & all the questions I recieved, I desided to start my own blog so again I say welcome!!
My blog is to share my life with you and help inspire you to be a better you. Its my goal to introduce to you new ways of life & help you along your crunchy journey or just simply let you know you are not alone....
What is crunchy full of grace??
Im glad you asked, for me, its a way of life from the way you eat ,(gluten free, vegan, raw, vegetarian) (non-gmo, organic, local farms) to the chemicals you use (soap, body wash, candles, dish soap etc) and everything in between.
Its about reducing, recycling, re-using, up-cycling as much as possible, blessing others with items you no longer need or want....
Its deeper than being a health freak, but about careing for all God has created and respecting it, but helping make the world a cleaner better place.
Its making the switch to cloth mama pads, cloth diaper, reusable paper towels & baby wipes.
Its giving more than you take
Its sharing& praying for all thoes in need
Its growing you own garden to buy less fruits and veggies loaded with chemicals, pesticides, gmo's & fertlizers
Its being grateful for what you have and not always complaining of what you want or don't have yet.
Its about making as much as you can and not buying everything packaged & pre-made but taking the time to create masterpieces without all the extra ingredients you cant say & you def. have no idea what it means....if you cant say it, i feel you should not be eating it
Its about homeschooling your children if you can, to be sure there education is centered around God and you know excatly what they are learning.
Its about nursing your baby or pumping to give to your child....breast is best nonthing else can truly compare and soooooo uch more, i will blog on later
Its about letting your light shine so that all whom you meet know you are a child of God and full of Grace *-*
