Juggling

Are you juggling life the way that you believe is best? There are so many levels to what we are as moms. Here are a few suggestions to help juggle life in a way that I would believe is pleasing to the Lord.
  1. As a Child of God
    • Take personal time with the Lord each day.
    • Mornings with coffee or tea, keeps me most consistent.
  2. As a Wife
    • Husband comes before your children.
    • Each day have a real conversation with your husband.
      • Not just the catch up on the kids.
      • It doesn't have to be the finances, but you want to spend the rest of your life with this man.  Know him outside of your kids.
  3. As a Mom
    • You are training your children to be adults.
      • Each day you can train or teach a new life skill.
      • Encourage them.
    • Most of the house work.
      • Balance this, don't work as a slave to your family, but teach your children how to be helpers.
      • My husband is kind and helpful when not at work, but I won't want him to feel like I expect him to start cleaning when he arrives home. He is always willing and does work around the house.
  4. As a Woman 
    • Take care of your body.
      • Inside and out: be healthy and be active, hair and beauty as well.
    • Know your limits.
      • If you are easily stressed, you need to have a way of handling that.
        • Deep Breaths
        • Classical or calming music
      • You need to make time for yourself.  Don't feel guilty. 
Blessed Mom
