If They Weren't sooo Cute...

-
It seems that children know instinctly when we've had enough. David has this sense....Today he was crying and I had to put him down. I said, "Ok, that's it...you can cry". I put him down, he seemed to understand that I was at my wits end, looked up at me and smiled from ear to ear. Which of course sent joy coursing through my entire body. Sheeesh.

I love being a mom and especially having another chance is sooo exciting, but I do feel it physically. My allergies are acting up so that is especially hard for me. When I was younger, I had all the energy, never got sick..it was perfect. Too bad my priorities were wrong, my parenting techniques were not consistent and my patience..well, I didn't have any.

I've got patience, priorities, love for doing what I do...just not exactly the energy. I do know that once this weight comes off, I have much more energy, but until I'm done nursing David, it's here to stay. Did I mention that my cute smiler wants nothing to do with food? He's going to be 6 months...I'll try again around 8 months.

"I can do ALL Things with Christ, who strengthens me". 

I'm just thinking out loud here.

God Bless,
Laura

Free Digital Weight Loss Planner

It’s that time of the year. Everyone is looking to lose weight. I am no different.  I am starting a new diet. It’s not really new to me. I did it years ago. It worked!! The problem was that I never did the transition phase and gained all the weight back. With my knees and my thyroid, it’s time to get serious. After all......I’m not getting any younger.  I created this digital weight loss planner/Journal because I want to track and journal my weight loss. I think having all the feelings, the accomplishments and even the failures written down, will help me to stay on track. To see how far I’ve come and to keep me going to the end.  This is a free planner. Please do NOT share this planner with anyone. Have them come here to my blog to download.  Please subscribe to my blog to get notified when I post other freebies.  You can also follow me on Pinterest, Mother4Jesus and Instagram, Mother4Jesus.

A.C.E. Curriculum Review

-

I don't usually post reviews because , like most people, we all have opinions but I felt compelled to post about A.C.E. **Disclaimer** I did not receive any compensation for my "Review". I did not receive any free products or curriculum for my review. I wanted to start out by saying that I allowed all the poor reviews of A.C.E. to influence my choice. Now most of the reviews were about the Christian content of A.C.E. and not the academic content. Some were from websites that were Atheists, so I took those with a grain of salt. Caveman is very proud of his grade!!  That said, before I tried A.C.E., I used a variety of curriculum. BJU, MUS, LOE..oh wait.. those acronyms might get annoying.. *Bob Jones Un. *Math u See *Logic of English *My Father's World *Son Light *Alpha Omega LifePacs Now all of the above curriculums are EXCELLENT.. They just didn't work for me. I could nit pick each one but honestly...why bother?? They're all good. If you ...

**Updated**Norwex Vs. Ecloth ** Updated **

A friend of mine started selling Norwex. I had no idea what it was at the time. She sent me an invite to her party, via Facebook. I decided to look and I couldn't make it to the party but I wanted to buy something. I went to the Norwex site and was shocked at the prices. I though, "Oh no way!" Then I thought, "Holly isn't impulsive. She's not someone who would waste money, these must be good". I went and watched some of the video's she posted about the product and was intrigued. I decided to buy the "Enviro cloth" and "Window cloth". They were pricey but if they could do what the video showed me, you know...the one with the chicken?? After I ordered, I decided to do some research. Yea, I know, I spent the money and THEN decided to research? A little backwards but either way, I wanted to support my friend. Chicken test and cross contamination test with Norwex In my research, I came across, Ecloths. These were suppose to do t...
