Praises of a Wife and Mommy

  Pexels - CC0 License If you’re a parent, experienced or new, you’re more than familiar with the lack of sleep and lethargy that comes with taking care of a little one. As our children develop and become more comfortable with routine, it’s not uncommon for them to struggle to keep consistent sleeping hours, which of course, they tend to notify us about. Increasing your energy levels as a parent, then, might seem like a pipe dream, as there’s nothing better for feeling refreshed and capable than actually being able to sleep. This is why it’s heavily recommended for new parents to take naps where and when they can, such as when placing their own baby down for a nap (with a baby monitor plugged in so that they can attend to their needs if necessary). But from there, there’s not much advice. We’re just expected to get over it, as the cost for daring to bring a child into the world in the first place. Or at least, this is how it can seem. But worry no longer, in this post we’ll discuss how

  Lardera Coffee  works directly through relationships.  We recently had the honor of reviewing all four of their coffees. One thing that really jumped out to us is that they only have four coffees.  This is so special to us because it tells us the value they place on two things, relationship, and excellence.  They work hard and focus on delivering excellence in a few products, rather than mediocrity with many products.  My husband roasts his own coffee as a hobby and side hustle, so I figured his input would be best for this review.  Here is what he thought of each bean: The first thing I noticed is that all of these coffees were lighter roasts.  In my mind, this is a great indication of someone who truly cares about the bean.  Light roast coffee is NOT weak coffee.  Light roast beans have not been roasted to their 'second crack' which expands the bean like popcorn.  A lighter, smaller bean represents more pack for the punch.  There is a greater variety of flavors as the bean

  One of the greatest gifts that you can give your children is to teach them about the art of giving. They can carry this with them long after you have gone, it will be something to cherish, and it allows you to live on in their memories. The first step is to inspire your children to participate in the process of gifting. Giving someone a present is a way of recognizing his or her worth by providing something of value. Of course, we're talking about a lot more than just money, because a gift represents the giver's concern and gratitude for the recipient and being deliberate about the gift enhances the experience from all angles. Earn and Learn Buying a gift with money you have earned yourself is more meaningful, and it's a crucial lesson for children to learn at a young age. Assist them by suggesting age-appropriate extra chores around the house where they may earn some extra money. Work on a list and budgets with your children, allowing them input into what, who and why.
