Motherhood...it's a lovely experience...most days!

Just what I'm looking for....

The Confident Mom:

 

"I know creating a nurturing home full of peace and enjoyment rather than stress and regret is what mom’s desire.  I am also keenly aware how critical it is for our children to learn in an environment that is loving, orderly and designed to teach personal responsibility, community and life skills.

When you start being purposeful and intentional in your role as a mom and incorporate essential principles – you will begin to see dramatic changes in you and your family.  These don’t have to be HUGE changes either, even the smallest of purposeful change can impact other areas – like a small pebble does in a pond, the ripples go on forever.

Your role in the home is one of impact – you have the ability to change future generations with how you parent and manage your home TODAY!

Helping moms become Calm, Cool and Confident in their most important role is my passion……thanks for allowing me share it with you!

Be willing to be challenged, self-focused and open to learning – the end result will be worth it!"

Hello there 2014

I'm ready!

 

 

Goodbye 2013

Every January, I feel supercharged up and excited about what's in store for me and the family. It's a blank year to be filled with birthday celebrations, vacations, and new memories. I usually whip out my family binder to update it....brought it with me today.  It's time to remove the 2013 pages and fill up with 2014 fresh crisp pages.

I found a great blog that has a free printable home management binder. You have to sign up for her updates in order to receive it. In the past, I've only printed what I needed.  This year, I'm aiming to use all the categories. I also like this blog because she speaks directly to me when I'm reading. Lol.  I came across brainstorming questions to use to map out your goals.    This is exactly what I was looking for!

I speak to God frequently about my vision for the family. And this year, I feel confident that he's going to see it through. So confident that I ran into another planner. Lol. (I live for planners and routines.) This one is a household planner.  "This weekly planner breaks down household tasks into manageable daily and weekly bite size pieces, utilizing smaller increments of time to keep the tasks from becoming too large and overwhelming. Most of the items can be easily completed in 3 to 30 minutes, and you can select appropriate items to delegate to family members (after all, even with the household planner, you still can’t be “super mom”)."

 

 

 

Wow! Two years since I last blogged. Where have time went?!!!

I've had so many ups and downs that I have no choice, but to live & learn from my mistakes, and smile at the accomplishments. I usually make New Year's resolutions....only to complete about half. Lol. This year, I won't. I will try to be better than I was yesterday. I do have a few goals in mind....keeping the number to about 5 main goals for the year. I'm thinking of categories:

1. Relationship with God...make it better
2. Marriage with Mike...reconnect, reconnect, reconnect!
3. Kids...bond and really get to know them individually.
4. Family...bond together as a unit, create lasting memories and take mini vacations/outings
5. Self...Get to know myself and pamper myself!

As we head into 2014, I can say that I've matured a lot, but still have a ways to go. I'm not perfect, but I'm going to be better than I was yesterday. :)
