My loves are just any form of creating things. My seven yr old is severely autistic and ive had babies three more times since then so its been difficult. Reading this has kinda sparked an idea though that in the meantime i can make a book of projects and write out step by step directions as eell as huge list of writing prompts until my son who has autism goes back to school. Also if i keep my art supplies in a tote or crate in babys room i can keep my favorite supplies in that as we have safety locks where id put it. Maybe this idea can help someone else

I have always loved reading. A few years back, as my 5 homeschooled kiddos got a little older, I decide to begin “summer reading” for myself! I love it and look forward to it! The books I have chosen have ranged from practical (Cleaning House, Twelve Steps to an Organized Life), to spiritual (Kisses for Katie, Not a Fan), to just-want-to-know-what-the-high school-assigned-my-daughter (Grapes of Wrath, The Glass Castle)!

I agree we have to be ourselves because it is easy to become lost in being a mom. Blogging is allowing me to use my talents after leaving my challenging career.

I took out my guitar out of the closet and got it tuned! I haven’t played with it for years. But I’ve been itching to do some of those things that I use to do, especially before becoming a mom. Thank you for the encouragement.

I have recently become mother to five children, four bio children and one adoptive child. I’ve been a mom for ten years and feel like I’m constantly fighting the battle to ‘find’ myself again. I wouldn’t change this life God has given me but at the same time I think it’s so important to make sure that our interests and passions arnt completely put on the back burner.
Growing up as a child I lived with my mother and older sister. My mom grew a beautiful garden to help provide for us and cover the costs of raising us on our own. I have always fantasized about growing a garden as big and lush as my mother’s. Every year I attempted to start a garden, along came another blessing from the Lord and my efforts and garden would shrivel up and fade away. Well not this year! …..we won’t be having anymore babies any time soon. I am so excited to watch my BIG garden come into fruition and have the kids be apart of the process.
I am starting to notice that another thing that I tend to put on the back burner is my time with God. I know right! I absolutely loved your scripture pocket book idea! I went to Walmart at 10:30 last night to pick out my new book and some tabs for organizational purposes! I love this idea so much that I want to make one for my two girlfriends as a gift. My question for you is, how do YOU set up and organize your scriptures? Do you organize them by their books in the bible or by category like scriptures on marriage or anger….

Thanks for your continued encouragement ♡

I have always enjoyed crafts so recently took up crochet again. It’s been a great way for me to relax in the evenings once the children are in bed. Hard to ignore the mess at times though and not sure I’ll be able to continue once the baby arrives. Here’s to making the most of every moment. ?

I find this slightly amazing to hear that even YOU still struggle with this. With your business and blogging, wild love for planners, it seems to me, an outsider, that you would totally know who you are. I didn’t realize how wide spread the problem was. I assumed it was just me!

I have been mom for nearly 20 years and homeschool teacher to my 3 kids for 11 years. On the way, I have done what everyone tells you not to do…I have lost who I am as an idividual and as a wife and mother. My life is changing as this is my last year to actively teach my youngest before our homeschooling is outsourced to a fantastic program in our area. This will leave me with a considerable amount of time that I have not had for years. I am in need of rediscovering and reinventing myself. This prospect is daunting and a bit scary. Kayse is right, don’t lose yourself to your parenting.
