chatting about Life & Love, Faith & Family, Home & Work
Many of you – like me – long for great tools to help YOU stay on top of all of your responsibilities – be it family & home, work & play, appointments and events, cleaning & maintenance. Finding the PERFECT system can be challenging. A lot of moms are finding their way by building a… read more »
As much as I love technology, I have not been able to fully commit to an online or virtual calendar/schedule/life planner situation yet. Instead I’ve downloaded free (or purchased) printables that I could use to my own liking in 3 ring binders or day planner binders – and they have been a great investment. I… read more »
Have you ever tried to actually Sing in the Rain? Usually I’m a bit “froggier” during wet weather so I don’t sing with as much gusto, but I’m usually singing in my head at least… I’ve found that doing my “chores” around the house is SOOOOOOO much better if I am listening to praise &… read more »
Hello Coffee Girls! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve got a pot of medium-roast Breakfast Blend on (and the kettle on for you tea lovers) – help yourself to a pumpkin scone while you’re here! A few weeks ago I wrote about making Lotion Bars among other things. I did in fact make them, BUT because… read more »
I’m just gonna be really honest – it’s been awhile since I made my home sing. Lately, I’ve been content to just find a particular level of maintenance and call it “enough” when really, it is just barely squeaking by. sigh. One day last week I was online and really – in my heart of… read more »
Maybe you know how much I LOOOOOOVE organizer forms. Organization – especially Home Keeping – is something I’ve written about many times in the past, and has been a subject of research and serious study in my life for about 18 months. I’ve tried the Flylady – more than once – and even though her… read more »
As a mom, you probably wear many different hats – chef, taxi driver, maid, home keeper, schedule coordinator, planner, assistant, organizer – and more. Do you ever wear more than one hat at a time? Do you ever wish you had more time in the day? Well, since that’s not possible, you just have to… read more »
What a week this has been! A lot of emotional stuff after a terrific Shared Hope International event, my Psych class coming to an end (WOOHOO!), and just lots of wife-and-mommy stuff going on. You may start noticing some changes here in The Cafe. Maybe you’ve noticed some already. Pictures of my family are being… read more »
Yesterday was one of THOSE days. You know the kind I mean. Girls won’t stop screaming in the store while we’re shopping. Or hitting. Or bumping heads. Or fighting. Or annoying. Or grabbing things off the shelves. So shopping for things we are in need of was scrapped. Just as I would get settled into… read more »
I’ve been blessed in the past several weeks by the ministry of Cindy Rushton. I’ve been able to listen to some of her audio recordings, download some goodies, and am really finding my way! Her heart for the Lord (and her sweet, southern drawl) just reach out to me. She reminds me very much of… read more »
