Packing an Organized Suitcase
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
This post is sponsored by EzPacking, but all opinions are my own. Jason and I have always enjoyed travel, and prior to having kids, packing an organized suitcase was easy. He had his and I had mine. Mine stayed nice, his was a messy pile after just a day. Then we had kids. They haven’t (so far) infringed on our love of travel. In fact, my 2 year old wakes up most mornings asking “go bye-bye soon?”. Since we have […]
Posh Camping Must Haves
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
We love to camp. But we are too poor (or maybe it’s rich lol) for a camper. So we are tent campers. However, you shouldn’t for one minute think that we “rough it”. Not at all. Today I’m sharing our Posh Camping Must Haves. First of all, let’s talk location. It’s not a true camping experience unless you are away from home, so no backyard camping here. But no backwoods camping either. Preferably a back corner of a local campground […]
Choosing a Negative Word of the Year? +Linkup!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Choosing a word for the year isn’t something I’ve ever done. And choosing a negative word of the year? Well that just sounds crazy! But I’ve done both. I’ve given it some thought and decided that I did want to choose a word for the year, but the word I came up with is a far cry from my normal positive thought process. I thought about choosing Joy. We all need joy in our lives. Other words under consideration were […]

Whether it’s a private party, family group, or community gathering, picnics are the perfect way to welcome summer. Here are 5 Must Have Items for a Memorial Day Picnic. When Jason and I were dating, picnic made up many of our dates, and they were our favorite ones as well. We invested in a few things like a picnic basket, blankets and containers and chose picnics instead of more expensive dates. Now as a family, we still enjoy them. With […]

This shop and post: Time and Money Saved with Paperless Coupons has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and it’s advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #WalgreensPaperless #CollectiveBias Ever since the arrival of our little man I’ve discovered that my days are shorter. I’m pretty sure I no longer get 24 hours in a day. I’m thinking that somewhere or the other, at least 4 hours are missing. The other thing I’ve discovered is our paychecks seem smaller. Not sure […]
Oregon Fun and a Wedding
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
We spent the last week in Oregon with family and had a lot of fun. The occasion for going out there was a wedding, adding another girl to the family. 🙂 However, I was talking to one of my sister-in-laws later and we realized that yes, there have been 3 girls added to the family (3 out of the 5 boys getting married) but we have added 3 more boys (her 2 sons and mine) so the girls are still […]

With summer coming on, and school being out, what do you do? Growing up, summer was our busy time. Farm families have lots to do during the week and you would think that the kids, just like the parents would be ready for Sunday. Well we were, but we didn’t want naps, we wanted fun activities. Today I’m going to share what I would consider the top 10 family activities that won’t break the bank. Some of these were things […]
Her Children Call Her Blessed.
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
As many of you may know from a prior post, a group of Christian ladies and I created an e-book study guide for Proverbs 31. I wanted to give you an idea of the book, by sharing one of the devotions today. This devotion; Her Children Call Her Blessed was written for the woman who feels like no one appreciates what she does. Her Children Call Her Blessed: Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also praises her. […]

In today’s society, we no longer offer hospitality. Instead, we call it entertaining and there are huge expectations that go with it. How about 2 simple entertaining ideas that truly allow for hospitality without all the stress of planning something fancy and serving it? Hospitality verses Entertaining: Entertaining makes one think of a fancy meal with at least 5 courses. A spotless house, and a kitchen that shows no signs of having prepared those 5 courses are also expected. It’s […]
No More Drama. Avoid the Scheduling Drama at Christmas time +Linkup!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
How about a year with no more drama? Or a Holiday season without the normal scheduling drama? When I was growing up, it seemed that each year, the holidays brought drama, of the scheduling kind. My two grandparents traded off having the big family Christmas on Christmas eve and day. Whomever didn’t have their Christmas on the day would often try and schedule theirs as closely as possible. Of course this is what would happen; Mother’s parents would have the […]
What does Thanksgiving Mean to You?
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
With Thanksgiving coming up, I have been thinking something over in my mind and thought I would ask you the same question. What does thanksgiving mean to you? To corporations it would seem that thanksgiving is Turkey Day. Time to push all these rich treats, and expensive foods. (we won’t even mention the day after Thanksgiving!) Saturday I needed some food for a family reunion we were having on Sunday and it was a bit crazy. Carts full of turkey […]
Oregon Trip Photos

While we have been back from our trip since Friday, I really still don’t quite feel like I’m back. Somewhere along the line, my brain got left behind! We had a great time with Jason’s family and I cannot wait for next summer, when we are going out there again for a wedding. I get another sista-in-law! From the first time that Jason took me to Oregon to meet his family, I have loved flying. What I don’t love so […]

Choices

Life is full of choices. Every single moment you are making choices. Some are harder than others. Some take prayer and careful consideration. And some choices just seem impossible to make. It’s time for our Living Proverbs 31 linkup and it’s my turn to write an encouraging or thoughtful/funny post about marriage while Kelly shares the features from last week. So what do choices have to do with marriage or our Living Proverbs 31? Well, it started on Thursday. Usually […]
Priorities. Are they According to God’s Plans, or Mine?

Do you ever feel like your priorities get messed up? I know I do. Are your priorities according to God’s plans? Last year when I started this site, I had a vision. To encourage and inspire christian homemakers. It was a Godly vision and it became the mission of this blog. But somewhere along the line, my priorities got screwed up a bit. In my goal to achieve this vision for A Proverbs 31 Wife. I missed my […]
Sunday Walks

One of hubby and I’s favorite thing to do, is take nature/Sunday walks. Admittedly as noisy as we are, we scare off all nature that can run or fly away, but we still enjoy it. A couple Sundays ago, my mom and the kids came up, and we all decided to go for a walk. The boys had binoculars and mom, sis and I had cameras. Yup, fun fun! I thought I would share a few, because, well, we are […]
Celebrating 50 Years
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Hey y’all! As promised, I am back with some pictures of the past week and my reason for missing from the blogging world. In a world where divorce is common, and the average marriage doesn’t last even 15 years. 50 years together is certainly worth celebrating! Because Jason’s family is scattered across the states, it’s quite a feat to get most of his family together the way we did. (Of course there were still people missing) And of course our […]
Thanks on a Thursday

So, I’ve had a rough week. Actually I should say month. After being there almost four years, I am quitting my current job at a childcare center in favor of better hours and better pay. I will now be a cleaning lady and babysitter. God has been good, giving me these positions. In fact I will be quitting work but not losing any income because I have cleaning and babysitting jobs all lined up. Why am I having a rough […]
Springtime on the Farm
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Growing up on a farm I remember spring as one of my favorite seasons. The baby animals were the main reason. However, calves and baby chicks are not near as cute as the babies we saw yesterday. Warning, these pictures may cause cuteness overload! These are haired sheep, they shed their coats in the spring and because their tails don’t need cropped they look like goats during the summer. A brand new baby! Aren’t they just too cute! Shy […]
