Featured Bloggers:
Encouraging and Inspiring Words for Moms
This week is all about enjoying Motherhood on Misty’s blog Beautiful Ashes. This week she’s rounded up posts that are all about Motherhood. These are Misty’s pics and graphic, but the editorial comment below is all my own. If ya’ll have a minute stop by Misty’s Facebook Page and show her a little bloggy love.
- A Godly Rose shares an inspiring post about what life is like in her 3-year old son’s world and how it has impacted her as a mom. It’s encouraging and just beautiful. A great read in my book.
- Jennifer who blogs at A Heart for the Home shares an encouraging post for moms. No one’s perfect but by establishing pursuits that help us in our mothering we can get better at it. Check out her post for encouraging tips on What a Godly Mother Looks Like.
- Kati from Harvard at Home Mom wrote a precious post about bedtime and how she treasures motherhood because the time with small children is fleeting. It’s an encouraging post for moms.
- Kathy and Melinda from Mothering from Scratch write, “Have we hurt our child in any way with our words or our actions?” and offer advice for asking our children for forgiveness. Great parenting tips on their site.
- Holly from Two Kids and Tired Cooks shares some of the pros and cons of motherhood. I think many of us would agree – the things we love about motherhood always outweigh the things that bog us down.
- Women Abiding writes, “Our children certainly feel that pulse of love flowing from our hearts, even when we as mothers aren’t even aware we are doing these acts, or that they are noticed.” in her post on Passing on Motherly Compassion to Your Daughter. So well written it brought me to tears. An encouraging post for a mama’s heart.
Homeschooling Helps for All Ages
This week Selena is featuring Math and Science Ideas for Homeschoolers on her blog Look We’re Learning. If you have a minute, stop by Look We’re Learning and show Selena a little bloggy love on Facebook.
No Tricks, Just Treats – Halloween Recipes
This week Danita has some fun Halloween recipes rounded up at O Taste and See. When you have a minute, let her know your favorite Halloween recipe, and please show her a little bloggy love on Facebook.
Productivity and Organizing Tips
Herchel cracks me up because this week she has combined great tips for conquering clutter and being productive with her personal favorite – cream pie! Special thanks to Herchel for rounding up this list of Conquering Clutter and Pie. If you have a minute, please stop by and give her a little bloggy Facebook love!
