~ They decided to get the straws out and throw them around the school room...I'm having trouble seeing the big picture in this one! They told me the straws were candy canes... ~
I haven't had caffeine or gluten (other than a couple things I started eating and then realized had it) in over two weeks. I feel incredible. My body, my stomach, my mind....I feel like a new woman. I'm seeing things more clearly, my thinking is more level-headed, I have energy!! With all of that, I have really been able to do things I enjoy. Decorate my house, take fun pictures with my fancy camera, make videos. I'm enjoying my life.
In 2018, I really want to make it a point to do more fun things with my kids, my family, and my friends. There are so many activities and chores and lessons we need to get through this year, but all of those things can be sprinkled with FUN! We can throw something fun into the mix, we can make the "necessary" fun in and of itself. If I keep this word at the forefront of my mind, I can be sure to make it happen.
I have never considered myself a "fun" mom, but with my newfound energy and clarity, it doesn't even seem li…
That would be me!! I am ever seeking and striving to become the mother and wife the Lord has designed me to be. I cringe when I think of the things people would say when, as a young girl, I would dream of being a stay at home mom. "Oh, is there anything else you want to be? What else are you going to do? You can be ANYTHING you want to be!!" (as if mothering was not a sufficient calling) I am blessed beyond words in this mothering career I have embarked upon, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am thankful for the blessings that are my husband and children, and I am grateful God put the desire in my heart to be who I am today.
