There have been weeks lately where the weight of it all just sits on me. The kids and everything they need. A job search I am actively working on. A budget I am trying to get a real handle on, with debt that needs attention and bills that do not wait. A business I am […]

The laundry was still in the basket, half folded, when I sat down on the edge of the bed just to catch my breath for a minute. The kids were finally asleep. The house was quiet in that particular way it only gets quiet after 8pm, when the noise of the day has stopped but […]

I was standing at the sink again, hands in the water, the same argument starting in my head before I even noticed it had begun. What if I do not get everything done today. What if the schedule slips. Let me just run through it one more time so nothing falls apart. And then, for […]

I was standing at the sink again, hands in dishwater, praying the same prayer I have prayed most mornings this month. Lord, give me peace today. Behind me the noise was doing what it always does.

When you need a prayer for losing patience as a mom, it is usually because the moment has already happened. The house is quiet now, but thirty minutes ago it was not. You raised your voice. Or you said something sharp you did not mean. Or you responded with a tone that made your child’s […]

The house is quiet. The kids are finally asleep. And your mind is louder than it has been all day. The thoughts start looping. What if something happens to them. What if the money runs out. What if you said the wrong thing. What if you are not doing enough. What if tomorrow is worse […]

Summer can feel sweet in your mind before it actually arrives. You picture slower mornings. More time together. Sunshine. Simple lunches. Maybe a little breathing room from school schedules, alarms, backpacks, drop-offs, forms, and all the moving pieces that filled the year. Then the first full week comes. The house is louder than it was […]
