Buttons pushed... to tears

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
So I know my daughter has been adjusting to sharing attention with her 3 week old brother.   Tonight was a very rough night for my hubby and myself.

IT was time to get ready for bed and my daughter just got an attitude!  She was not listening and she first starting crying because she was not able to finish watching her movie.  Then she was also mad because she said she needed a night snack because she thinks a smoothie is a drink and not a snack.  AFter finally getting her ready for bed she told me she had bad dreams and wanted her little tent that is over bed off.  After we took it off she lost it because she said she did not want it off.  BACK N FORTH ROUND N ROUND we went.

We did not let her win the battle but I sure felt terrible and started crying tonight!  I love my daughter so much but I will not tolerate her being rude and disobedient or even playing mind games.

Anyone have any motivation for me?

I know the bad nights are BAD, and you can feel like giving up. I have so been there! It sounds like you are being consistent though and I have found that to be key.
I also repeat Philippians 4:13 to myself when I am really struggling.

I hate nights like that. We have them regularly...just stick to your guns. A friend told me that when our kids are small we(the parents) have to win at all costs....I so agree, I would rather have rough nights with toddlers and set boundaries, than deal with teenagers that have had no limits.

Good job mama!
Hugs.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
