Be Not Weary in Motherhood

March 12, 2020 by Kendra 2 Comments

I tuck my babies in at night and my heart nearly bursts with love for them. They are amazing miracles of life and for some reason, God gave them to me. Right on the heels of this bursting-heart syndrome is an overwhelming realization that I am raising the future. My little boys, my sweet little boys will become men and what will these men be? The responsibility lays heavily on me. It burdens me down and there are days that […]

What’s the Point in Taking Kids to Church?

June 7, 2017 by Kendra 9 Comments

What's the point in taking kids to church? Here's my reason!

Memorial day weekend was our annual church conference and with 2 small tykes in tow, there were multiple times my head just hung down and I wondered what’s the point in taking kids to church? In fact I wondered why I was even trying. Most of my time in church was spent hushing little ones and picking up the few toys we allow them to bring. Then picking up bookmarks and pens, because kids will make toys out of anything. […]

What Type Of Mom Am I?

May 13, 2017 by Kendra 6 Comments

Or rather, what type of mom would my boys say I am? I would like my kids to say I’m the fun loving mom who laughs when they get muddy, who gets on the floor and plays with them, who involves them in all that goes on. I am that mom… about 15% of the time. It’s likely they will say I’m the mom that rushes around busy working and pushing them aside so I can get done with that task […]

36 simple chores for 2 and 3 year olds.

36 Simple Chores for 2 and 3 year olds to do around the house. All kids are different. My 1 year old is content to play for hours, my almost 3 year old has never been one to play for long. He likes to be right with me and some days I’m hard pressed to keep him entertained.  As a result, I’ve discovered simple chores that he can do with me as a way to keep him busy . Having […]

Look Into Their Eyes – Plus Living Proverbs 31 Linkup

Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.

February 26, 2017 by Kendra 6 Comments

Look into their eyes. Looking into your child's eyes helps build a connection between parent and child and encourages healthy communication.

As a mom I have a bad habit. When I’m scolding a child, or upset with the boys, I tend to look over their heads, or even have my eyes nearly shut as I scold/complain/give a command etc. But what I really need to do is look into their eyes. When you don’t look into a their eyes, a disconnect is happening. You can yell, scold, complain, whatever and you have no idea how it makes your child feel. Your child […]

The Internet Ruined Parenting

December 11, 2016 by Kendra 5 Comments

The internet ruined parenting. With all the crowd-sourcing, googling, blogs and information the internet gives, being a parent should be the easiest thing in the world. But in many ways it’s made parenting much harder. The Internet Ruined Parenting by Convincing us the Kids are Dying When pregnant with my first, blood work showed me immune to measles. I asked my mom when I had them and she didn’t know. “You guys had so many little fevers and rashes,” she […]

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.

June 21, 2016 by Kendra 5 Comments

Spending quality time together, even if it's doing something totally ordinary like shopping for Lil' Beanies snacks at Kroger and eating them!

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 […]

June 19, 2016 by Kendra 4 Comments

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 […]

May 8, 2016 by Kendra 2 Comments

Dog shaming and proud parenting moments. Life at its best.

  A common remark on the trials of Motherhood is “This too shall pass”. It is well meaning, but leaves a lot of us  waiting for it to pass. Waiting for the sleepless nights to be over. Waiting on the potty training to be finished. Waiting on them to grow out the “busy stage”. Waiting on the craziness to end. Waiting for a night when you can shower by yourself. Waiting. And soon enough it has passed but another challenge […]

The Importance of What your Child Reads

May 4, 2016 by Kendra 3 Comments

The importance of what your child reads and how to easily find safe books for them.

As a parent, I’m sure you realize the importance of what your child reads. As a child, my mother was very careful about our reading material. While I didn’t appreciate it at the time, I am thankful now. What a child, reads and perceives is vital to the molding and forming of his character. A wise parent will censor their child’s reading material, but sometimes it’s hard. A distant cousin of mine, a young lady with a similar upbringing as […]

Wearing Motherhood Well

March 27, 2016 by Kendra 3 Comments

Have you ever looked into the mirror and inwardly groan as you try to tuck those stray hairs away? Or sighed as you see remnants of yesterday’s (or was it the day before) makeup smeared under your eyes? Today I want to talk about wearing motherhood well. By wearing motherhood well I’m not talking about those amazing specimens of moms who look amazing 5 days after giving birth and are by all outward appearances rocking this “mommyhood” thing. No, I’m […]

Thoughtless Parenting Advice – The Worst

Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.

October 11, 2015 by Kendra 13 Comments

As a parent, I get lots of advice. Most of it is good, some of it is annoying, and some is downright strange (seriously this is my favorite as I enjoy a good laugh!). But in my opinion, the worst kind is thoughtless parenting advice. By this I mean the glib, tip of the tongue responses people tend to spout off for certain circumstances. It’s not bad advice, but it’s something we moms are already aware of and quite frankly […]

We are Not Immune to Sin

May 26, 2015 by Kendra 13 Comments

We are not immune to sin.

I typically stay away from controversial subjects, the Duggar issue included. But there are thoughts burning in my heart that I can no longer stay quiet about. The devil is having a heyday right now, he has exposed skeletons, turned Christians on each other and proven once again that we are all fallen, sin-prone beings. Even though we are saved, and live in the spirit, our spirit dwells in a very human body. And that, brings me to this: My […]

Dear formula feeding mommy, I know you saw me glance your way, I know you thought I was judging you. But was I judging or jealous?

Dear formula feeding mommy, you see the look I give you, before sitting down with my baby and giving him my breast. I know you feel judged, but was my look judging or jealous? Dear Formula Feeding Mommy, Was I Judging or Jealous? We probably heard the same thing when we were pregnant, we probably even heard the same thing when we gave birth. “Breast is best” they say, while trying to show you what to do. “It will hurt […]

January 11, 2015 by Kendra 14 Comments

As a mom, am I doomed to a messy house an dpublic tantrums? According to most of the parnenting stuff out there it sounds like I am, but here's the deal...

Parenting today. It’s hard. According to 75% of what I read online about, as a parent, I’m doomed to a messy house and public tantrums. Oh yes, I will also be fixing separate meals to cater to each of my children; and of course I will be cooking them, because if I try going out to eat at a restaurant, I can be sure the little brats, er, darlings will be running wild all over the place. We won’t get […]

July 20, 2014 by Kendra 7 Comments

Do you ever feel like you aren’t doing enough for the Lord because you are a mom? Do you feel like witnessing to others as a stay at home mom is impossible because you are just too busy? Many women feel like they are a failure when it comes to doing stuff for the Lord, because they are too busy raising a family.  You hear of a sick neighbor that you should take food to, but your own children need […]
