Mommy Friends

I have to say that one of the most important things I ever did was start a mom's group that would work for me. I tried for over a year to find a group and connect with women that had kids in my area but for some reason I just couldn't. Every time I got together with different groups I always left feeling like I didn't fit in. I love being at home and enjoyed playing with Rex and all the time we had together, I love my husband and try my hardest not to complain about him because he is great and works hard to provide for us and we actually agree on most of our parenting so it makes that easy, and I plan homeschooling Rex because our school system is not the best and I am willing to take on the extra work that it will take for him to have a great education. So when I thought about it and prayed about it God told me that I needed to surround myself with like minded, God loving women. So I started a Faith centered mom's group that can share their struggles, hopes, happiness, and every other thing that us mom's go though.
It was the best thing that I could have ever done (thanks God for the push to do it)! I love getting together with this group of ladies at least once a week sometimes as many as four and sharing our lives together. We are all at different points in our lives and that makes it even better because we can learn from one another too. I love having a Bible study with them as well. I feel like I can really share what is on my heart and ask for prayer when needed. I'm learning so many things through this group that God is leading. I have to say if there is one thing that I could suggest to every mommy out there it would be to find like minded mommy's in your area that you can get together with regularly. It has been life changing to have a support system around me and people that I can call friends. To all of you ladies I have a special place in my heart for all of you because you make my life better just being able to know each of you!

    It's so wonderful that you have such a great group of Mommy friends. I am eager to find one, myself, when we move in the Fall.

    P.S. Voted for you on TMB :)

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
