Praises of a Wife and Mommy

Once kids come along, your life is no longer your own. Kids are demanding and the older they get, the more they ask of you. If it isn’t lifts to the mall they want, it’s cash to spend on treats and new clothes. If you work full-time as well as juggling family responsibilities, you are probably wondering how on earth you can fit in study time. But don’t worry because it is possible – and the benefits more than make up for the hassle. Further education is always a good investment. Studying for an MSN in nursing administration from Bradley University or similar will give your career a major boost. If your kids are younger, you may not be quite ready to move up the career ladder, but once they are older, an extra qualification is all you need to take that crucial next step to a better-paid job with extra responsibilities. It isn’t going to be easy, but with the right domestic support, your hard work will pay dividends. Online or Offline Study Twenty years ago, online study wasn’t ...

Once they reach a certain age, however, it is time for them to go to school. They are no longer only your responsibility, but a group of teachers, and other children. So, once they reach this stage, how can you ensure that they continue to thrive? First off, it’s so important that your kids understands why they are going to school, and why they must work hard. How you choose to express this is up to you, but it needs to be done. Often, once they start, children love school, especially preschools and nurseries. They get to spend their days with their friends, playing games. It’s a great starting point to get them ready for ‘big school’ and more complex subjects. They get to express their creativity , and learn skills, and play sports. Be sure to ask them lots of questions about what they have d...

Last night we went to my daughters new school to meet her teacher and drop her supplies off.  This mommy is having some emotional thoughts as I type this.  I am so thrilled and excited for her but kids grow up so quickly and I am trying to hold on to her and keep her little as long as I can.  My daughter seemed a bit scared when we approached the school.  After we got out of the car she had a death grip on my hand.  It was not what I expected because she has been asking to start school and has been so excited thinking about it.   Tonight she asked God to help her not be shy or nervous for her first day tomorrow... it melted my heart but I know God will be right there with her guiding and directing her steps.    Tomorrow morning is the first day and sadly I have to be at work before her bus even comes.  :(  The adjustment of working full time is going slowly but it truly is a blessing for me to have this job.  I...

I know I mentioned that last week we were blessed when someone Ding Dong Ditched us and left us a basket of goodies.  This week another couple from our church stopped by and had all the back to school shopping done for my kids.  My son is not in school yet but they still made sure he got a backpack and some other supplies.  :)   I was blessed beyond words and my kids were so happy.  They each of them the back pack they were eyeing up.   God sure is providing all that we need during this transition as the new pastors.   So how have you been blessed lately?  Or how have you been a blessing to someone else?   Pass on a blessing to someone near you.  :)
