Just a Day in the Life of a Mom with Twins

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.  Proverbs 31:10-12 Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.  Mark 11:24-25 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  Matthew 7:7-8 Through wisdom a house is built, and by understand it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3-4 Let us not grow w...

There's something about getting home from a long day at work, not having to step over a bunch of shoes right in front of the doorway , not having to pick up clothes laying all over the room, and having enough space to cook dinner that night. There's just something about clean that puts me in a good mood. I am definitely one of those people who like to decompress when I get home from work. It doesn't even have to have been a hard day, I just simply do not like talking the moment I get home. I tend to go drop everything off in my room and lay around for a minute or two and look at my phone. Catch up on texts I missed throughout the day, play around on snapchat, view all my social medias... The last thing I want to do is hold a conversation the second I get in the door.  Wednesdays are usually easy days for me because I am the first one home. Yesterday was no exception. I came home to a clean house and my mood was uplifted. I began making dinner right away and found that the...

Take a close look at the friends you surround yourself with. Do you need to change or maybe even eliminate some of those relationships?  Toxic people are just that - TOXIC to your life. Be careful who you let into your circle because your friends should be people who will lift you up, help edify you, cheer you on, and be excited for you when something great happens in your life. Negative Nancys will do the opposite. They will tear you down, be-little you, gossip about you behind your back, be spiteful when good things happen to you, and most importantly bash your husband.  It is NEVER okay for anyone to bash husbands, hers, mine or yours! Marriages have rocky roads and it is best to have a few select friends you ask to pray for your marriage during difficult times but these friends should be cheerleaders of your husband too. They should know his character well enough to point out the good in him and want a win for your marriage - and you should want the same for your frien...

My husband was in a car accident yesterday. Nothing big, his car received a puncture wound in the front bumper and a bent license plate, the truck he hit had a broken bracket in his bumper, but it was my husband's fault. Anyone who knows me knows I hate cars. They are convenient when they work but a pain when they don't and with my experience they more often than not, don't work. I hate car issues, I hate that EVERYTHING costs so much money - what are we really paying for here? I hate that their value only goes down after purchase and I could go on and on about how much I hate cars and all the problems they have. When my husband texted me yesterday to tell me he had been in an accident I didn't respond. Mostly because I knew it wouldn't have been a very good reaction. I wanted to be angry. I wanted to put blame and say well why were you not paying attention? Haven't I told you to slow down and take notice? Why do YOU always have traffic violations? But I pra...

I sit here in a crowded room filled with papers, knick knacks, Christmas decorations, Wedding Planning materials and more sprawled out everywhere. I worked my last day at the corporate distribution center on Friday. Come Monday I'll be starting in a new-to-me building and it's bitter-sweet. I love the old DC, where there were only about 100 corporate employees there, everyone knew everybody personally and you could have personal items displayed on your desk without fear of something happening to them. With this move, I don't think I will be as lucky... Hence all the random items now laid out in my office.  I'm realizing I'm going to need to make a trip down to the storage unit to put away the boxes that came home from the office. But seeing all my packed up wedding items, I've also been thinking I really need to start promoting my wedding/event planning business. I finally received my event planning certificate in the mail on Thursday of this past week and it ...
