Guest Post: How to Keep Yourself Organized while the Kids are Home from School
Posted by: | Commentsby Corrie Petersen
Do you know how to keep yourself organized while the kids are home for summer break? Working a business with kids can be a challenge at anytime, but it’s even more difficult when they’re at home all the time.
Depending on the age, they may want you to play games with them or they may need your undivided attention at times. When this happens, you may not get a thing done for your business.
You need to plan and organize your day so you can get the most work done during the day and still have time to spend with the kids. Here are a few suggestions for you to consider. Read More→
Curse of Busy-Ness: Learning How to Prioritize the Right Things
Posted by: | Comments
by Sheila Wray Gregoire
The answer to the question, “How are you?” has traditionally been “I’m fine.” Over the last few years, though, a new answer has supplanted the old one. It’s now in fashion to say, “I’m just so busy!”, before lamenting how exhausted we are.
Are we really that busy? After all, we still seem to find time to spend thirty hours a week in front of a television, and that doesn’t even include other screens we glue ourselves to. But perhaps this is in reaction to how busy we are at other times: we rush and rush and rush, and then when we get home we collapse. Hardly a fulfilling life, is it? Read More→

Guest Post: Backyard Crafts – Giggles, Fun & Memories Complementary
Posted by: | CommentsBy Ruth Martin
Pass the time on those long summer days by letting the kids enjoy some backyard crafts and then having a clothesline exhibit. The kids will love creating and having a place to display their masterpieces just like adult artists. Afterwards, with a little help from Mom, an artists’ reception can be enjoyed around the picnic blanket or table.
Getting Hands On
One of our favorite backyard crafts is Painting with Soap Bubbles. This is super easy with amazing results. First, hang watercolor paper on the clothesline with pinch clothespins. Next, add a few drops of food coloring to soap bubbles. When the wand is inserted and the bubbles blown near the watercolor paper, they will float and pop! on the paper. To get the best results do not blow these directly onto the paper with force but allow them to float onto the paper. Want more than one color? Give each child a different dyed soap bubble set and ask them to work together to make some sudsy masterpieces. Note: Food coloring can stain so reminders to only blow on the paper and wearing old clothes are two things to keep in mind. Read More→

Is This Your Biggest Work-At-Home Trap? (Gentle Reminder for WAHMs Like Me)
Posted by: | Comments
by Sophie Zollmann
I have been a WAHM for 10 years now. I started in data entry, moved onto mystery shopping, and ended in Virtual Assistance. I chose to become a WAHM when my second child was born. I knew that working in a brick-and-mortar business would not be worthwhile. All of my income would go for childcare.
My first two gigs as a WAHM were very part time. I did not get to dive in and do it all the time. The data entry and mystery shopping gigs were limited by availability of work. I could only get so many assignments. In retrospect, that was a good thing. Read More→

Pursuing Holiness
Posted by: | Comments
From my Christian Momlogic blog:
I’ve just started reading “The Pursuit of Holiness” by Jerry Bridges. I actually read the book while I was in college, but obviously not enough sunk in because I still struggle with the topic. So, I thought I’d re-read it and see what I can glean now that I’m a “grown up.” 
In my life, holiness feels overwhelming and unattainable. My mind can’t completely wrap itself around the concept of “being Holy as He is Holy” (my paraphrase of 1 Peter 1:15, 16 ..which comes from Leviticus 11:44). I know what a sinner I am, so why would God ask for perfection when He knows it’s not something that can be attained while we’re on Earth? As a wife and mother how do I achieve godly holiness in my own life – and even more importantly, how do I help to develop holiness in my children?
The author of The Pursuit of Holiness (thankfully) helped me begin to think through these tough questions. He shares these three truths about holiness:
Truth#1: We must realize that sin is against God, not just a personal failure to do right. Read More→
