Family Time

1 Comment

Hey friends, last week we were on a family vacation and during this week of Thanksgiving I am going to continue to stay away from blogging and social media to invest in relationship with those around me. I am filled with a heart of gratitude and praising my Savior. I hope you too are savoring the flavors of food and fellowship! Many blessings to you.   … [Read more...]

Heart Attack Mom?

Leave a Comment

Are there days where you suffer from heart attack? When your attitudes and actions turn to self, rather than God and others? *heavy sigh* I admit, it happens to me. A prayer I have prayed since I was a child, when compared to the condition of my heart on some days recently gave me clear understanding of right thinking vs. wrong thinking. Join me over at MomLife Today and learn more about my heart attack condition. … [Read more...]

Sacrifice & Homecoming Ignored!

1 Comment

I am sitting in an airport…crying. While the world around me continues to turn and people scurry. The escalators before me carry travelers, many, many travelers.  Face after face coming down the escalator appears weary and laden down with heavy loads – and not just in their arms. Just moments ago I watched a woman of 40 something bounce up and down and squeal in excitement, there on the down escalator was a younger version of her … [Read more...]

Wanna See This Moms Messy Room?

1 Comment

My bedroom is a disaster area. There.  I.  Said.  It. Out loud. Yes, that is a photo of the Eyster master bedroom- in all its glory. (Or unglory!) As you can see my bedroom has become the dumping ground. You can't see what's at my feet -  the two baskets of "this and that" or the stack of books or piles of clothes. And no I'm not sure why there is a bike in my bedroom. And yes, I know the many reasons why my bedroom should not look … [Read more...]

Driving At Age Ten! What?

Leave a Comment

I am absolutely at a loss for words {well, not really-since I am writing about it} that parents would allow their ten year old to drive! Has the world gone mad? I still cannot quite figure out how it happened. I mean heck, they can barely see over the steering wheel. I think some of them have got to be using booster seats while driving. They look so grown up sitting behind that wheel. It is so cute! Their parents are so proud too, taking … [Read more...]

Messy Kid Doomed To Episode Of Hoarders

3 Comments

  When she became a tween and through her teen years my daughter’s room was the safest room in our home. The very room we should hide all of our valuables in, for if our home was ever broken into even the thief would be so overwhelmed upon entrance to her room he would have shuddered and made a fast retreat to a more organized part of the home. What the heck happened to my “clean up, clean up...everybody, everywhere...clean up, clean … [Read more...]

Doing Laundry For Fun!

2 Comments

In Be The Mom I talk about doing chores together as a family and trying to make even chores an opportunity to bond and build relational equity with your children.  I suggest that it is wise to make doing things around the house more about the relationship and character building and less about perfect chore completion.  With repetition and effort there is continuous improvement in children. I know sometimes it is tough moms cause we could get … [Read more...]
