Friday Five – 02.19.21

2 Comments

My goodness, what a week it has been. Praying for Texas and everyone affected. I could not imagine what people are going through. So instead of sharing Friday FAVORITES just sharing five things today.

I will start out by saying that the start of the Lenten season was this week and I’m looking forward to strengthening my faith and challenging myself to walk more like Christ – which can be hard to do. Lent is a time to take on those crosses and work to better ourselves for the ultimate goal in this life – eternal life.

Thursday Thoughts: Tension Headaches & “Text Neck”

First off, sending SO many prayers to people in the South and all over the country without power or heat. We too went without heat the past couple days and it just puts so many things in perspective. We are so blessed to have a roof over our head and warmth in our home. Saying many prayers for everyone affected or dealing with issues.

For my Thursday Thoughts, I would like to talk about something I have found myself dealing with and everyday “actions” are definitely worsening things!

Tip Jar: Toddler Routine for SAHM

Becoming a stay at home Mom excited me! While I was a little nervous about making the transition, I was also so ready to manage the household and grab hold to some sort of routine. I searched Pinterest all the time for sample schedules prior to leaving my marketing career and figured I would share our routine if you happen to be a working Mom making the leap to SAHM or just someone who likes to see how others do things (this is totally me, I’m so nosy!)

Today I wanted to share a sample of our routine around here – particularly for the boys – Tommy is nearly 18 months and JP is 3 years old. I followed this same exact schedule since JP was around 12 months and it still continues to work for him (with some modifications) and Tommy. I was recently chatting with a Mom and her son is almost 2. She was telling me his morning nap was rough and his naps (he was still doing two naps a day) felt really short. I suggested switching him to one nap a day as he was probably not tired at that time of the day anymore. She seemed hesitant because as a Mom, it is great to have some free time to get things done, but once I mentioned the afternoon naps were 3 hours, she couldn’t believe it!
