For years I worked outside of the home, I enjoyed each of the jobs I held during those 6-7 years but I had a goal, a purpose, a dream and I worked towards it. Today I’m living my dream, and I thought I would share a little more about that! I’m living my dream as a stay at home mom. Admittedly I’m not always home, and I’ve found that spending 100% of my time with the kids makes me a little […]
Kansas Fun and the Living Proverbs 31 linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Whew! It’s been quite the busy last two weeks. We left on the second of this month for a week in Kansas with some of our Oregon, Colorado and Kansas Relatives. The goal was to help Jason’s grandma with repairs around the house. From our house to grandma’s is a 14 hour journey. With two small kids, it takes much longer than that! Fortunately our trip is split up by stopping at an uncle’s place after 10 hours and then […]

Hey everyone! Who is just LOVING this cool fall weather? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I like all seasons, but I love fall. Nothing like opening the windows at night, hearing the crickets and snuggling into the covers. It just doesn’t get any better than that for a good night’s rest. 🙂 I’m going to be off of here for a week or so, meaning this linkup is going to run for 2 weeks. So stop […]
The Night No One Showed Up

The Night No One Showed Up The invites had been delivered, the house cleaned, soft music played and the diffuser was putting the delightful scents of fall into the air. The table was spread with sundry treats and swag bags were waiting to be claimed. Everything was ready, food bought and prepared, nothing was lacking to make this a great evening. The door was flung open wide and all that was needed were the guests, we were ready! The clock ticked. […]
Truth or Tradition – Which one Wins in Your Life? +linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
It was an interesting evening in bible study. The phrase truth or tradition came up, and one person made the statement that even when presented with facts and proof of the truth, most people continue in tradition. This led us to look at various things in our own lives that we hold as truth. Were these things truth according to the bible, or only a tradition held so long we no longer even knew why we did it? It’s a […]

Welcome to a new week, a new linkup, and new opportunities to make mistakes, achieve goals and live for God. I’ll take the good and the bad so long as my Jesus is with me!

There was a lovely pond and we all enjoy swimming (or splashing depending on the age!) so water play was enjoyable. The 2 kayaks available for […]
Be a Blessing – Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Who are you at home? Who are you in public? Are you one person one place and a different person elsewhere? I know my family definitely sees the real me while others may see a “nicer” side of me. Most of all though I want to be a blessing. I can be a daughter, wife mom, friend neighbor, whoever, but it is important to me that I be a blessing. Lately I’ve been thinking and praying a lot about being […]

Femininity is NOT a Weakness
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Among conservative Christians, the modern feminist movement is strongly frowned upon. I too disagree with modern feminism, but I am a feminist at heart. Â First of all though, femininity is NOT a weakness. Webster defines feminism as a group of people who believes in equal rights for men and women. Interestingly enough, this is biblical teaching. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in […]

This is the 200th linkup posted here and some kind of celebration is in order. Problem is I have about 1 hours to get this written and scheduled before leaving for the weekend. Yi! So not much time for planning a celebration. However I do have a little something in mind. Leave a comment telling me how long you’ve been linking up here (or simply reading if you are not a blogger) and I’ll draw […]
How a Text Changed our marriage
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
We live in the day of modern technology and that’s not all bad. Texting for example is a tool, it can be used for good or for bad. Here’s how a text changed our marriage for the better! Jason has never been a texter. Although to be honest, aside from that short time we dated, he’s never been one to leave notes either. I’ve accepted that romance does not a relationship make and learned to appreciate my strong steady man for […]

Hey all, it’s that time again! Time to share a few favorite posts from the last two weeks and invite you to share your favorites with me! Oh, and a little news updates.

What I’m not looking forward to is this: Highs in the […]
Go on a Treasure Hunt +linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Did you ever go on a treasure hunt as a child? Maybe you looked for clues to lead you to each place, or perhaps you had a hand drawn map with instructions like “take 3 steps right” and “hop forward 5 times”. Regardless of the method, the excitement was high and eyes were wide, looking for clues and following instructions. It was thrilling and when you finally reached the prize, you maybe screamed and jumped up and down telling the […]

This week looks like it’s going to be filled with all sorts of fun stuff. Kolton is enjoying spending Sunday night and Monday with Memaw’s since I am working a vendor event again Monday afternoon. Monday morning will be spent planning a menu and grocery shopping for our camping trip next weekend. Camping with a VERY busy toddler and a baby is going to be interesting but I’m excited […]
Sacrificing the Family?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
In my recent morning bible reading, I came across different accounts of the Israelite’s whoring after other Gods. One of the huge things that stood out to me was the way they sacrificed their children to these false Gods. My mother-heart was horrified. Not only were these ungrateful people turning from the God who offered them such great deliverance, they were throwing their God-given blessings into the fires of false Gods. Burning their children. Killing them. Basically turning their backs […]

Birthday #2 Such a Sweet Little Monster!

For those of you who may not be aware of it, we have a 2 year old in the house. This momentous occasion happened last week, and over the weekend we had a party. I call him a little monster at times and thought it would make a fun birthday theme. Such a sweet little monster. Pretty sure that’s a fitting term for most 2 year olds! Since he needs to eat wheat free, I wasn’t sure what to do […]
Spending Quality Time While Doing the Ordinary
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Spending quality time with each of my babies is important. But it’s often hard. And I only have 2 kids. Malachi is easy enough, he needs my constant care so he gets lots of “mommy time”, but it’s a little harder with the toddler. Problem is, I cannot always do anything special with just my toddler. We read books, but baby is taking most of the attention. We take walks, but baby faces mommy, and toddler faces forward. I know […]
Perfect Parents Wanted
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
In reading through Facebook the past few months, and really the past few years, something has become quite clear to me. Two somethings to be exact. #1. There are a lot of perfect parents out there. and #2. I’m definitely not one of them. So I’m writing Perfect Parents Wanted to advertise for a few of them. Why am I looking for perfect parents? Well, it’s easy. There are parents out there who knew exactly what they would’ve done to keep […]
Failure and Old Doors – Living Proverbs 31
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Hey guys, I’m coming at you from a sleep deprived brain so please forgive any errors you see. 🙂 Wednesday I thought teething had hit Kolton hard. His eye teeth were coming in so I figured that was the reason his amber necklace didn’t seem to be working as well as normal. He drooled like crazy, ran a temp and refused to eat for nearly 2 days. Teeth right? Until Malachi spiked a temp Friday night. Was he teething too? […]
