family – Musings of a Simple Housewife

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

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”

Adulting

I have so much on my mind today, and so many things I want to share. I will start simply. I always wanted to grow up. I wanted to get out of childhood as quickly as possible. I remember, especially as a teen, when I would argue or fight with my parents I would sayContinue reading “Adulting”
