“Stepford Wife”...”Soccer Mom”...”Bree VanDeCamp”...”Martha Stewart”...”Wonder Woman”... I have been called all of these things and more! If you are unfamiliar with these 'terms' they refer to moms/women that “do it all. Great moms, wives, homemakers, cooks, etc. & not only can they do it all but they look perfect at the same time...YEAH RIGHT!
I have been called these “names” many times as I am sure many of you have been told the same, but honestly I feel like I am FAR from perfection & I'm sure I can give you a list of people that would agree! When people think of you this way it does lead to a little bit of pressure to do everything a 'certain' way because of expectations...
Well, I believe that we are ALL a work in progress and I also believe that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. My goal is to get my life in order (not to be perfect but to simplify my life) so that I can tap into all of the gifts God has given me, enjoy life & maybe even find some free time for myself.
There are a MILLION self-help books, blogs, etc and another MILLION websites that set out to make things “easier” for us. Problem is you have to go to one place for recipes & menus, another for homeschooling tips, another for cleaning and homemaking, and the list goes on.
If you are ANYTHING like me you set out to simplify your life so you can accomplish as much as possibly as efficiently as possible and even with the best intentions I get totally side tracked & keep going to link after link completely forgetting what I was trying to get done in the 1st place!
Well I am on a mission (for myself & to hopefully help you along the way). To truly enjoy life, to take the time to smell the roses and to not take anything for granted. I am open to any ideas, suggestions, tips & tricks so please pass them on! FYI – Please keep things positive because we are here to help each-other not to tear anyone down. Thanks!
Here is a quick rundown of everything I would like to 'get together'.
- Devotionals, Bible Study, Spirituality
- Relationships
- Parenting
- Homeschool
- Menu, Recipes
- Cleaning, Housekeeping, Gardening
- Saving & Making Money
- Exercise, Fitness, Wellness
- Tips & Tricks, Hobbies, Fun, Misc, Etc
So join me on my journey...& just to forewarn you I'm pretty sure there will be days that I may not accomplish half of what I have on my list or days that I feel like I'm spinning in circles. No one is perfect & I'm not trying to be – I'm just trying to live my best life for myself & my family!
BTW - My name is Megan. I am the mother of 2 wonderful boys, Jordan (12) and Jayce (pronounced like Chase but with a J - about 1 1/2 months) - huge gap...yes we know. More about the boys and my fiance, Wayne, later.
Before we get started (over the next few posts) I am going to give a quick rundown of where I am in my life & where I want to be. I can't wait for us all to grow, learn & laugh together!
