Tuesday Tunes: You Raise Me Up

Sometimes in life (most of the time) we don't have all the answers, but through faith I've allowed my heart to become the child I'm supposed to be. I want to always remember that He is my ultimate Father. Today, this week, this month I allow him to "raise me up" when all I want to do is fall!

A Stress Free Zone

I just want to stop today....it seems so strange to me! I'm not used to being at home!

Last week I lost my job. There has been problems with getting my visa re-issued and although I am 100% legal in the country, I'm not allowed to work without that sticker in my passport!

In a way, we knew this was coming. We've been trying so hard to get that sticker but for some reason there have been continuous road blocks. And to be honest, be being at home unemployed is not in our best financial interests right now.

#30dayMommyChallenge and More!

Organized ChaosI proposed to you as part of my #Commitment2014 focus a #30daychallenge! I am so excited to be bringing you another challenge!

In February, we worked our way through 30 days of planks and eventually achieved a 5 minute plank! I loved the way my abs had felt and have continued to make planks an everyday activity! They are so easy to do...well, anywhere at anytime!

In May we did a 30 day focus on abs again! After that we took a turn and did a 30 day marriage challenge for the month of July!

4 Tips to Fail at Potty Training

Lil Mister waited so long in the bathroom to potty he
climbed off and fell asleep!
All mothers will admit at some point that their children are the best thing that ever happened. Don't get me wrong I agree fully! No matter how bad my day is they can always manage to turn it around with a simple hug or kiss! However, there have been some downs (way, way downs) that were so bitter, they made the sweet almost break my heart! You know we've all been there!

Parenting is a roller coaster for sure! Some days I can't imagine bed time will ever come and other days I'm trying to find excuses why I can break my own rules and keep them up! However, one of the greatest things (and hardest things) about parenting is how much they have to teach us! It is unbelievable how much I truly learn from my kids!

Wordless Wednesday: Sleepovers

This weekend I had a "sleepover" with a friend and her kids here in our new town! Both our men work for the same company and were gone Saturday for a stock take at another branch. To be honest, I was livid with jealousy as they were back in our old town with all our old friends! But rather than stay home, we decided us wives would ban together!

The oldest daughter was in high heaven as she got to do my makeup, nails and hair! What a sleepover it was!

Tuesday Tunes: Let it Rain

There are a few things happening in our lives right now and it is taking a lot of faith from me to listen and follow the Spirit. I know though the benefits of the rain to wash away and re nourish dried soil. So I'm following Christ and allowing this to be my song of faith.

Am I Teaching My Kids To Be Rude

One day a few months back, Lil Mister was visiting with Ouma. It has taken me a few trips to get used to this but over the last 8 months (since he spent his first overnight with Ouma), I have adjusted and learnt how special this time is for them.

After this particular visit, Ma came along to bring Lil Mister back. We were sitting outside enjoying coffee when she shared what was to me quite an amusing story!

Where Ma stays she has a friend whom she had taken Lil Mister to have coffee with. While there the friend kept, well for Lil Mister, pestering him. To the friend, she was simply being a Tannie. She had offered him cool drink and sweeties and asked him if he wanted to play this or watch that. Lil Mister sat however with a scowled expression on his face, saying no thank you, crossing his arms and shaking his head.

Tuesday Tunes: Before He Cheats

Before you get any ideas, there is nothing wrong between Hubby and I!! However, I've noticed a few friends going through some things lately. Let's be honest, it isn't just men who cheat but this song describes perfectly how I'd want to react...not just for me but on behalf of my friends whose hearts have been so hurt! Let Carrie Underwood take it away!
