family – Musings of a Simple Housewife

Mother’s Day

Am I the only one who dislikes Mother’s Day? I mean really. It is supposed to be this celebration about motherhood, but does it really celebrate motherhood? Mostly I feel guilt on Mother’s Day. Guilt for all the things I cannot do, and can not accomplish, and the patience I do not have, as wellContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Trials

Recently my family has been experiencing many trials. Things that are sometimes so difficult to face that you just want to crawl back in bed and pretend it will all go away. This seems like a good idea sometimes, and for some days, it probably is. Whenever I face times like these, I like toContinue reading “Trials”

Parenting

Being a mother has to be the hardest job in the entire world. Not only did one sacrifice their body for the child/children they brought into the world, but it’s a mental sacrifice as you raise those said children. It’s amazing to me that what I thought would be the best job in the world,Continue reading “Parenting”

Thoughts

Many things have been on my mind this last year. I have been hurt and criticized so many times that I have started to change, but not because of anything anyone said or did to me that was hurtful. Do you realize that criticism does not change people? Individuals choose to change themselves. Also, whenContinue reading “Thoughts”

Faith

I sit and wonder every single day where faith has disappeared to. Faith specifically in God our Eternal Father. As an American society it seems we have decided to brush away God. Brush off his teachings and follow our brother Lucifer. Now I know that I have with that one paragraph made some leave myContinue reading “Faith”

Fitness

I have been on a fitness journey for about 5 years now. I am shocked sometimes how much I have changed and keep improving, but that’s not to say that it hasn’t been difficult. Honestly taking care of my body is one of the most difficult things I do each day. If I want toContinue reading “Fitness”

Scout Mom

My boys love scouting. I always wanted to be a scout and loved interacting with my brothers and the troop they were in as a kid. I was seriously so excited to have my boys in scouting. Scouting has changed for us this past year, and now parents are WAY more involved. I was involvedContinue reading “Scout Mom”

A New Life

Recently we have all been “given” a new life. It varies for all of us, but we didn’t choose it. All of us have taken this in different strides. Not one way is incorrect, but they are certainly individual. COVID-19 is something that we all did not expect. I bet the only thing we canContinue reading “A New Life”

Dog

So… I got a dog. Well not just me, it’s for the whole family, but let’s be real it’s my dog. You know the worst part? I’m terrified of dogs. For all the dog lovers, no I didn’t have some traumatic experience with a dog when I was young, no my parents do not sayContinue reading “Dog”

Sunday

Sunday’s seem to be one of the most difficult days of the week. I find it interesting. My observations are that each person views Sunday as a day where they get to choose what they want to do, but as a family it doesn’t always work. I also feel like it’s the one day whereContinue reading “Sunday”
