Do You Have Friends?

OK Mama's--I know that I am not the only one who says, "What are they?" when asked about your friends. How many of you feel like the minute that you became a Mama, friends just disappeared?

Guess What - It is okay! Yup-I totally just said that. There are periods of my life where I felt like I had no friends AT ALL. Of course, this wasn't exactly true, but it felt that way. When you are a homeschooling Mama, who works from home and has ANY kiddos, where do you have time for friends???

I used to be picked on for being the "unsocial" friend. But guess what...I may only have a handful of friends that I do not see merely enough but they are there! When I need them, I can count on them. Even when they live on the other side of the country.

Want to know what -- most of them are online friends. Yup--they count! After joining Young Living I was included in a members only Facebook group that has ~~almost~~ been even more amazing than the products themselves. Our group has created awesome friendships I never would have imagined.

And, I know what you are thinking. I don't REALLY know these people so how can they be friends. Well, yes, yes I do. I have traveled with these people in REAL life and really met them. I know that may sound crazy and at one point in my life it would have sounded crazy to me too.....but they are some of my best friends now! As you can see above they really are REAL!

And Hey, with technology you can have a best friend half way across the world and still "talk" every day!

SO--this is to encourage all of you Mommas who are elbow deep in diapers, vomit, school books, or any of the other daily occurances. There are ways to find wholesome blessed friendships. Just because you don't wanna have someone in front of you in your dirty kitchen, you can still have good friends!!!

Camping trip #2 - Kingdom Bound

OKAY, so I took some of your advice on changes to make before embarking on camping trip #2. So let's chat about how those changes planned out and what I think of camping now. Many of you told me to plan more activities for the kiddos to keep them busy. That worked pretty well on this trip because it happened to have been a campsite that is attached to an amusement park. We did morning rides, back to the camper for lunch and naps, out for afternoon rides, then back for supper. Little kids usually went back to the park for fireworks or more little rides while the bigger girls and I hit up the amazing concerts available! Even though everyone was way over tired and exhausted, everyone seemed pretty happy because they just wanted to keep doing things. This made life easier for me! I also made SURE that I did not forget my hormone loving oils and supplements.......HUGE difference that made! No crazy mom syndrome on this trip! We were loc...

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago. Here is part of her story that I told in another post: My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...

Loving an MLM, seriously?!?!?!

I am the girl who likes to be home, like never leave home, have peace and quiet, and am afraid of people ;) I have never "sold" anything in my life (before a year ago), and I rarely tell people about things I love because I just assumed they really didn't care. I have always worked from home, but at a "real" business. The hubs and I own an electrical contracting business and I have always run the home office. How many hubs get to go home with the secretary 😀 Well, I am the last person I would have ever expected to fall in love with a MLM business. I am very skepticle of things and like I said....PEOPLE! But, as I often do, I have surprised myself. I got started with Young Living as part of a 15 year journey to get some answers and freedom for a hubs that suffered from severe chronic migraines. Little did I know that this company would radically change our lives! Not only have we tackled the migraines, we have learned as a family and healt...
