WHERE I’VE BEEN, QUITTING YOUTUBE, WHERE TO FIND ME, BABY # 4
There’s a season to begin something, and at times, a season to lay something down.
For me it has come the season to lay down this UA-cam channel, at least for the time being.
I want to say a big thank you to all of you who helped this channel grow, who left me encouraging words, who supported me all along this journey.
Perhaps one day down the road, I will feel ready to pick this back up, or perhaps not. I am praying, and leaving all that in the Lord’s hands.
Meanwhile, while I’m not a huge social media person, I will be on instagram, seeking to create a small pocket of encouragement, quotes, recipes, and much more for other women like me. ❤️❤️
Hope to see you there, and once again, thank you for everything!

COMPARISON AS A MOM and WIFE / why I hate the self esteem / self love movement and what I do instead
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
It’s funny how often I will film a video, finish the editing process, and then have a situation come up in real life that totally tests what I just “preached.” Tragically I don’t always perfectly apply what I myself have learned. This last week I found myself comparing and having even some feelings of jealousy arise - it took a little while, and some serious prayer to let those feeling go, and ...

Over the past four years, while becoming a mother to three little ones, I’ve had to learn how to still have a devotional time every day, despite late night nursing sessions, or noisy toddler interruptions.

    Vinegar is an excellent cleaner. Just buy the cheapest vinegar by the gallon. Spray the build up stains, let it sit, scrub and repeat if necessary. To clean build up stains in the toilet, pour a large quantity of vinegar into the toilet, add a pan of boiling water, let it sit, brush with the toilet brush and flush.

    Bleach does all its work and breaks down after seven minutes. If you’re leaving anything soaking in bleach longer than seven minutes you’re just degrading the integrity of your fabric resulting in you having to replace it sooner. Also, bleach kills the enzymes in laundry detergent (the workers) which is why modern modern washers have bleach dispensers that add bleach the bleach five to seven minutes into the wash, at at which point the enzymes have done their job. Just some suggestion from launderer to another! When I am not catching babies I’m doing laundry for our family of four!

    I really like your videos and as a stay at home mom of teens, I completely agree and can say it’s been sooo worth it! I always wanted to be the house in the neighborhood where all the kids came to and I am! I babysat as well and helped out when there were snow days and neighborhood parents still had to work - their kids would come over and entertain my kids. I was a latch key kid growing up and didn’t want thst for my children. Downsizing your life to accommodate this lifestyle is worth it for your whole family!

    I have probably a similar sink to yours. The best natural non-toxic I could find is power paste with scrub Daddy. You just damp your scrub Daddy dip it in the power pace and then scrub your sink down kindly. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Then give it the scrubbing that it needs and that should do it

    With checkbooks, it's good to know you can write and mail in checks for all months or a whole year if you have that much money in your bank checking account to dedicate to cash flow. Mail early, call to verify that the check arrived, and it saves money on stamps. Learn how to use a checkbook's balance sheet and how to write on an envelope to mail to and your return address. Before apps and online sites were commonplace the balance sheet tells you how much money you have in the bank, if your math is correct. Also how to use the know where to sign a check you receive.

      It's good for everyone in family to know how to do bills and basic cooking and basic cleaning. Sometimes we get sick, and sometimes the surviving partner has to learn these basic tasks. It never hurts to keep list of your trash water electric septic phone numbers on both cell phones and in the physical phone book.
