Good morning! Today is a good day because I was able to send a bit extra to our mortgage company. Over time, small payments turn into big payments. Paying off our home is a huge goal, and I've tried to turn it into a game. I've got charts, paper chains, you name it, to encourage myself. And yes, you might be a homeschool mama if you find paper chains encouraging.😜 I'd like to encourage you to set a few goals today and do your best to reach them. With God's help we can do it!
Matching ponytails. 💙 I love being a girl mom. #motherhood #sahm #momofgirls #simplejoys #redeeminghome
Simple fun for the win. In a desire to simplify our lives, I've tried to add outdoor activities to our home little by little, like this zip line. The kids LOVE it, and it doesn't involve leaving the house. . I have begun to be very intentional about what items I give to my children. Yesterday I heard the statistic that the children of the US (3% of the world's children) own 40% of the world's toys. This is mind boggling! . I have eight children. My oldest guys were extremely spoiled by toys, and to be honest, my younger ones have way more than they could ever need as well. But my thinking has begun to shift, and my eight and under crowd now love nothing more than a blank piece of paper and some crayons. Seriously, they draw for hours! I've learned that our children do not "need" the toys or entertainment we think they do.
This is truth right here. If you think about it, what is "enough"? At the beginning of our debt free journey I joined an MLM thinking that would be the key to get us out of debt. I was wrong. . Instead of giving us more $ to get out of debt quickly, the Father showed me that He'd rather I embrace a simpler life and cut our expenses instead. I might have put up a fuss at first, but eventually I complied. . There is such FREEDOM that comes from desiring less! You are no longer controlled by the need to continually buy more or the need to continually do more. It is a blessing to come to the place where you realize that the Lord is enough, and everything you need is sitting right beside you.💕
School time.❤️It is such a joy to spend each day with my children. The days are long but the years are short. Time invested in our children is so worth it! #homeschoolers #simplelife #homeschoollife #motherhood #childrenareablessing #christianlighteducation #motherhoodunplugged #dayathome #winterdays #redeeminghome #childhoodunplugged #slowliving #simpleliving #thirdgrade #homeducate #homeeducation
'Tis the season to acquire stuff. I used to fall into this trap so hard. We would spend December cleaning out our play room, only to fill it back up with this years version of the same exact toy. 🙈 I bought new clothes when styles changed, even though my current items were perfectly fine. I thought consumerism was normal! . During our #debtfreejourney we have downsized to a home half the size of what we were used to. It was then that I realized what a burden all of that stuff really was. We still have a storage building worth of stuff I thought I needed, but I haven't touched in over a year. . If we can learn to be content with what we have by the grace of God, it is a joyful thing. I would love to encourage you to really think about your purchases before you make them. An intentional life is beautiful!💕
