Thankful Series - Day 9

It is so easy to lose sight of the things we are truly thankful for because we can become so busy in life.  Today I will be reflecting on my very first best friends.  They may have not seemed like my best friends when we were growing up, because we fussed a lot, but they are and I love them so much.  It does not matter how annoying siblings can be, they are that friend you can never get rid of, and they love you no matter how crazy you are.  So, today we will reflect on being thankful for our siblings.

I have decided that at some point this week I will go back and add days 1-6 for this series.  Be sure to check back for those.  What are we reflecting on today?  It doesn't matter how old you get, your parents will always be your parents.  They never stop loving!  So today, we will express our thankfulness for our parents.

Balancing Diapers and Deadlines - Review

I'm writing this as I sit here and sip on a nice, warm cup of coffee.  You see I realize that life can be full as a wife and mom.  Full of appointments, errands, needs, wants, lists, plans, love, tears, prayers I could keep going, but I think you get the point.  If you add homeschool to that it gets even fuller, a work from home position, now it seems like the bubble is about to burst at any moment.  The joys of being a stay-at-home wife, homeschool, working, mom...
Did you hear the tires screech?  Now, in all seriousness it is joyful, however, life can seem overwhelming and stressful if we don't manage all of our hats right.  That is why I was thrilled to take the Balancing Diapers and Deadlines course from Lisa Tanner Writing.  Being a homeschool blogger is fun and I love to encourage other homeschooling moms, BUT my family MUST always come first.  That's why I happily agreed to review this course; to get some work-at-home productivity tips.  I hope you don't run when you see the word diapers.  Stick around and see what this time management for busy moms course has to offer.
