Written by Erin, Contributing Writer When Stephanie first gave us the "A Day in the Life" assignment, I thought: "By that point I should have a 6 week old, and we should be starting to get into a new routine." But life happens, and Baby Girl came almost two weeks late. So, as I write this, I'm still less than a month postpartum. After suffering PPD after my second, I've been determined not to overdo things this time around. I firmly believe that postpartum women [...]
Written by Stacy Myers, Contributing Writer Hello! My name is Stacy. My second child, Andrew, was born exactly one month ago yesterday. I’d love to show you what a typical day looks like around the debt-free Myers household, but we just don’t have any typical days right now. Every day has the goals of: eat, sleep, and doo-doo, with a bunch of fun little extras thrown in there from my 3 year old, Annie. For example, hide in the bathroom and eat all the cookies. Before [...]
My days are full to overflowing. As if being a mom to four little ones didn't keep me busy enough, our household also stays buzzing with: homeschooling our family business, Resound School of Music (the office is based out of our garage) our other family business, this blog that you happen to be reading :) gardening and preserving, as well as cooking plenty of real foods Tonight my husband and I made a video montage of our children to send to the grandparents, and watching [...]
Written by Diana, Contributing Writer I don't know about you, but these past few years have been the most challenging, economically, for my family. When my husband and I had our first child six years ago, we made the decision to sacrifice my career in favor of raising our children at home. Three children later, it's been an up and down struggle, but through every situation God has provided for all of our needs. What's been truly amazing is witnessing how our dependance on Him strengthens my [...]
Written by Kate Tietje, Contributing Writer I'm a busy mom. Obviously I'm not alone! Is there really a way to be a mom and not be busy? Probably not. I guess if you're rich and you can afford a live-in nanny...but how many of us are in that boat? I know I'm not! I am the owner of the Modern Alternative family of websites (there are now four -- Modern Alternative Mama, Modern Alternative Kitchen, Modern Alternative Pregnancy, and Modern Alternative Health) as well as mommy [...]
Written by Brandy, Contributing Writer A day in the life of who? Truth be told, I don't claim the title of The Marathon Mom, although I totally envision motherhood as a marathon. And yes, my blog is called The Marathon Mom. But the reason for that is because I realized a LONG time ago, that I am anything BUT Supermom. Oh, it's something I commonly hear when I am in public with my entourage of eight sons and my celebrity husband. (He's not a REAL [...]
Written by Natalie Klejwa, Contributing Writer Here we are, minus the baby, gathered around the table for lunch. Praying. It's something I do a lot. I need to. I've got nine kids. I started my 15th year of homeschooling on September 4th, and this is the day I've chosen to share with the KOTH readers this month. The Perfect Plan So for starters, here's my hopeful PLAN for our school day: 6:00 Wake up, exercise, Bible study and prayer, shower and dress. 7:00 Fill orders [...]
Written by Stacy K, Contributing Writer I'm a little anxious about this post. You see, I'd really like for you all to think I have it all together. But I don't. There's also the underlying fact that I am a preacher's wife. Aren't preacher's wives really supposed to have it all together? Whatever "it" is? The day I am sharing with you is one in which I stayed up too late the night before. I started out on the wrong foot and was quite [...]
