The Perfect Job

With Mothers Day being tomorrow, I wanted to take time to focus on these sweet littles right here.

Many of you have heard my story of always always just wanting to be a Mama when I grew up. I know God saw my heart. He paired me with the two most perfect littles, completing this family. They both add just the right amount of uniqueness, humor, sincerity, wisdom and crazy.

My job as a mother has been to create a home of love, laughter, security and nourishment, where they can cry without fear, grow without judgment, and discover without prejudice. I’m not perfect and have failed at times {many, many, many times}.

I love you both crazy amounts. Thank you for allowing me to be a Mama, your Mama, the most perfectly perfect job I’ve ever had.

Hello. Goodbye.

Hello May flowers, goodbye April showers {well, normally but not this year}
Hello month full of birthdays
Hello full schedule, goodbye down time
Hello broody hen and my first “real” hatch
Hello lots of 4wheeler dates, goodbye evenings sitting at home
Hello checking out all the new Amish farms and bake sales
Hello multiple proms

God is Watching Over You {Book Review}

God is Watching Over You
By P.J. Lyons 

About the book:

As a follow up to their bestselling Thank You, Lord, for Everything, P.J. Lyons and Tim Warnes have created a sweet and relaxing padded cover board book that tells the story of God’s constant presence around you. Meant to be read at night, when a child is warm and snug in their bed, the rhyming text and adorable illustrations in God Is Watching Over You gently remind us that God is constantly watching over us, protecting us, and caring for us.

This book is the absolute cutest!  The book itself is sturdy and measures about 8 inches by 8 inches. The cover is a little plush, and the pages inside are made of solid cardboard, so the book will endure many nights of reading.

The illustrations by Tim Warnes make the book extra special and oh so cute. This book held the attention of the littles in my Sunday School class the entire way through. And we even had to look through it again, so they could look again at the sweet little fluffy sheep family.  Continually throughout the book, it says that God is always watching over you, no matter what you’re doing.  Such a great point to reinforce with our littles.
