Pre-Christmas Toy Purge and Organization

Do you currently have a ton of toy clutter?

Are you trying to organize it all before Christmas day when more toys and gifts come streaming in?

Every year we make it a tradition to purge all the toys we don't need or want anymore and donate them. Then we organize what we have and can I just say that we are SO grateful that we did. I am very visual and need things to be minimal so this helps out a lot when we have so many things going on during the holidays.

A Woman Who is Careful with Her Words

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14 

In the age where voices are bombarding us from every side all the time we need to take caution as women who want to follow in the ways of a wisdom.


The Lord has given us everything that we need to know how to conduct our lives and our mouths are no exception.

The NEW 2021 Homemaker's Friend Daily Planner!

Do you struggle with homemaking?

Are you looking to get more organized in the coming year?

As a homemaker of over 27 years to a large family I know how important it is to have an organized home and life. If things are not the way I need them to to be to function, things can easily fall apart at the seams!

Over the years I really realized the importance of organization and planning and what a difference they can make in my day. It can really "make" or 'break"my entire week.

How to Make Care Packages for the Homeless

This past month I have been thinking heavily about ways to help people who really need it. I was reminded a while back when the kids were younger that we had made these food bags for some homeless when we would visit the inner city.

Some would walk by our vehicle and we would hand them a "care bag" that had some food items and a gospel tract. It was very simple and what we could afford.

20+ Gift Ideas for Christian Men That He Will Love

Are you looking for gift ideas for Christian men?

You might have several Christian men in your life---your husband, son(s), father, grandfathers, uncles, in-laws, and friends and sometimes finding them gifts that would be encouraging and clean can be a challenge.

I know that my husband loves spending time together as a family (he is a big family man) but not so keen when it comes to shopping--especially for himself. He only does it when he absolutely has to or when the need arises (which is probably how many husbands are), but I know that can pose a challenge to women who are looking for something to get them. Sometimes we need a little inspiration!

How to Not Tear Down Your Home

"And so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." 

~Titus 2:4-5

We all want to be the wise woman who builds up her home but the honest truth is that sometimes we are not so wise. In fact, we might be more like a foolish woman instead who tears down her home.
