Starting our day right is so important- agreed- and I find myself constantly reminding myself to be content with my current home even though it's not the 'perfect' house. It's a house I prayed for after all!
You are so right, Lori! That is the hardest thing in big families sharing the same space! And you're right to advise accept where you are, and manage your expectations. Another gem is "accept the repetitive nature of housekeeping!" That one is hard- we think it will stay clean once we clean it... But so many people are living in the same space, it's impossible! Lately, I have been looking at housework as a chance to burn some calories which makes it a little easier. Thanks for your videos, and most of all thank you for your calming and nurturing presence! Your family is lucky to have you :) ❤
I was not a young mother, but married a man with 3 kids and had a son soon after. I let everything stress me and enjoyed very little of the process. You are correct in your thinking......let it go. I have a great relationship with my step kids, but it could've been better if I'd chilled out some. I have an amazing relationship with my grown and only son. NOW, working on raising two additional stepsons. Your words are very helpful. Take a breathe, be thankful, and raise good little humans. These times are so stressful and family should be treasured, even if they bring dirty dishes 2 minutes after you cleaned everything. Thank you for a great video!
Thank you for sharing that! I appreciate it so much. It’s so easy to get caught up in the everyday that we forget the real purpose of life. Thanks for your sweet words and encouragement. ❤️
Great advice Lori. Thank you!! Back in 2020 I had lots of poison ivy in my yard that needed to be removed and I would get overwhelmed with the task. I had to walk around sometimes and think about the progress I had made in order to find the courage to keep going. I love the proverb you shared as well!
I needed to hear ALL of these things! Thank you for your prospective and for bringing me back to what it really is all about! Really enjoy your videos!
I am glad you had that wad of dough to release all your frustrations. Let me know how it tastes😘. Get everyone to do their part is my motto. Mom cannot do it all❤️. Good thoughts tho.

Such a good comment! You are so right. It’s easy to compare what we have to others. I am thankful for your observation and encouragement ❤️❤️❤️
