Do you have so much on your to-do list that you feel powerless to tackle any of it? Here are 6 ways to overcome this workload paralysis.

I recently learned a new term: workload paralysis. Although the term is new to me, the concept isn’t. Workload paralysis happens when the weight of responsibility is so heavy that you feel powerless to act.

Having an extra freezer means you can shop sales and buy in bulk, but does the money you save on food offset the cost of buying and powering a freezer?

Last week I shared some tips on how to save money as grocery prices skyrocket. One of the tips was to buy things now for use later. In other words, if you know you will use something next week or next month and it is on sale at a great price today, then go ahead and grab it before the price goes back up. This is a great strategy, but it can be … [Read more...] about Does Having a Deep Freezer Save You Money?

Though pajamas and loungewear are comfortable for our bodies, they aren’t necessarily great for our mindsets. Here are some thoughts on getting dressed.

After I had my third child, this phenomenon lasted for a longer period of time and I sometimes exchanged my pajamas for loungewear. When the pandemic hit a little over a … [Read more...] about Getting Dressed for Yourself

It’s not often that we pause and take in the little things happening around us. How can we slow down and enjoy the present moment?

A few days ago, when I stood up from the table to begin breakfast preparations for my girls, I noticed pink and purple streaks across the sky. We have large, south-facing windows in our living room and dining room. I absolutely love the natural light these let in! That morning, the light they were letting in was from a vibrant, colorful … [Read more...] about Pause and Take In the Sunrise

When is the Best Time of Day for Your Quiet Time?

When is the best time of day for a quiet time? Believe it or not, the Bible doesn’t say! Here are things to consider when finding what works for you.

Most Christians I know (including myself) value having personal devotional time set aside for reading the Bible, praying, worshiping, memorizing Bible verses, and engaging in other faith-building activities. I like routines, so I have always sought to have my devotional time (or “quiet time,” which is the most common term I hear used to … [Read more...] about When is the Best Time of Day for Your Quiet Time?

A visual schedule is a visual depiction of a child’s routine. Here are free printable images to use in creating one for your child!
