Mommy’s Back to School Survival Kit

You know that the first day of school is often more difficult for us Mommies than for our Happy Buddies!

I saw a cute idea here and decided to recreate it as a gift for the Happy Buddy’s PreK-2 classmates’ mommies.

Mommy’s Back to School Survival Kit!

Simply fill some gift bags with a small package of tissues and a few chocolate Kisses (because when the going gets tough, the tough eat chocolate).

Then print out this gonna-make-you-cry-and-realize-how-important-it-is-to-pray-for-our-Happy-Buddies poem and include it in your gift bag.

Click Image for Printable

Hand out to the Mommies in your Happy Buddy’s class on the first day of school and see many looks of gratitude as running mascara gets instantly remedied.

And…

In case you were wondering how our Happy Home did on the Happy Buddy’s first day of school…Some attempted shots with i heart naptime’s FREE Printable First Day of School signs.

He was kind of a wiggle worm that morning as he was kind of excited. 🙂Can’t believe the Happy Buddy is in school!

~Sniffle~

I better go get my Mommy’s Back to School Survival Kit.

Happy Mommy’s Back to School Survival Kit-ing! 🙂

    I just found this again when going through my “Parenting” board on Pinterest. The timing couldn’t be better on two points. 1) I’m trying to be more intentional about teaching my boys (5 years and almost 8 years old) to pray scripture. So, your printable is a great way for mama to do that herself. 2) I’m getting a little emotional about sending my youngest off to full-day Kindergarten in a couple weeks! Thanks again for this great post 🙂

I like to make people happy.✨ Author of #thekindnessantennae 🎉 💛Psalm 28:7💛
  • One of these amazing boys made me a thoughtful card and gave me a small box of chocolates.

One of these amazing boys made me a special edition of his homemade comic strips in honor of Mother’s Day.

And one of these amazing boys patted my stomach during the sermon at church and whispered, “I think there’s a baby in there.”

😂🫠😂🫠😂

Happy Mother’s Day!

  • We are celebrating that because of the cross we have the unwavering favor of God. Because of the cross we are pursued daily by God’s perfect love, we are offered forgiveness and freedom, and we are equipped with the hope of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus! 

🤍🙌🏻🤍🙌🏻🤍🙌🏻🤍
  • Things I’ve learned from breaking my tailbone >>

1. It is possible to wear only 4 outfits in 2 weeks.

2. God is more concerned with developing character and deep roots than about our physical comfort.

3. My children don’t love to see me bedridden, but they love that they have been able to eat nuggets, pizza, and fries for 2 weeks.

4. When you can’t sleep because of pain or wild imagination that is not helpful, put on worship music.

5. A good prayer to pray, “Show me the depth of my need for You and shatter my self-sufficiency. Change my mindset so that prayer becomes my first response in every situation. May I seek You in all things. Help me to put all my hope in You...”

6. Hold on to a sense of humor. Or find someone to get you laughing. Even though it will hurt to laugh. You need to not take it all so seriously!

7. God’s people are so precious. People showed up on our doorstep with lasagnas, flowers, sandwiches, Uber Eats gift cards, and one dear soul even sent her cleaning ladies to our house to undo the damage of mama being down for days on end. Whenever I was tempted to despair, someone would text or bring by some freshly cut fruit. The message here is don’t ask, just do > because every act of kindness reminded me of Who is in charge.

8. When hard times come, lean into gratitude instead of fussiness and resistance. Thank your husband for carrying everything while you’re down, thank your community for carrying you to Jesus, thank the Lord for being present in all circumstances with a plan for your good and His glory. There is a reason God tells us in the Bible to do all things without complaining or disputing-so that you. will. shine. It’s not easy, but the reward is GREAT. I want the world to see Jesus shining in me in my adversity. Doesn’t mean you can’t cry and admit that what you are facing is so very difficult, but this can be done with a surrendered heart. This is the new assignment. Accept it, receive it as something that is from a loving Father. Look for the provisions along the way. You will go from strength to strength. Move forward with hope. He’s got you!

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12
  • He makes me laugh more than anyone. And for some reason he is especially hilarious now when it hurts really bad to laugh. 😆

  • Mom and Dad are here and now it’s officially Christmas! ❤️🎄❤️

I haven’t opened our home to host anything since 4 years ago when we got a dog and I lost complete control of the house. Also because this is a house of boys and the bathroom permanently smells like an outhouse and I’m a little self conscious about all of it. 🫠

But when your parents come to town, it’s time to dust off the plates that aren’t made out of paper and plan a delicious breakfast menu! ✨

The dog was absolutely thrilled to have so many new friends. Also he probably ate more than all of us combined. 😆

All is calm and all is bright! And even the toilets aren’t so bad! 🥲
  • ✨When we wake up, it will be Christmas!✨

I felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to bake a cake for a family very dear to us. I went to the store, bought the ingredients, and carefully followed the recipe. The recipe said multiple times not to overcook the cake because it will very easily become dry. So I watched the oven diligently. But when I pulled the cake out, I could tell it had baked a little too long.

God called me to bake this cake for this family. It wasn’t time to quit, but it wasn’t time to make another cake! So instead of getting discouraged, I chose to pray about it. I asked the Lord to take my offering and make much of it. If He can multiply the loaves and fish, He can moisten up a cake!

Precisely one day after delivering the cake, we received a text stating what I thought was impossible. The cake was good! Delicious even!

Seems silly to pray about an overcooked cake, but I believe God is honored in these small acts of faith. Believing in the impossible was something God asked Mary to do, so why not trust Him to do the impossible here, too?

What impossible thing can we bring to Him in prayer today? He loves to hear from us. He loves to delight and surprise us when we choose to believe He is good and powerful and kind. He is no magic genie, but I think when our desires align with His heart, when obedience is the priority, and we are fully surrendered come what may, we can trust He will do a good thing. 

“For nothing is impossible with God!” Luke 1:37

“He satisfies the hungry with good things.” Luke 1:53

Sleep tight, friends!

Highlights from our week in Georgia visiting my parents…

🧡Seeing my parents. 😍
🤎Reuniting with my older brother and his family who we haven’t seen in 5 years! 🫶🏻
🦃Getting to stay in my parent’s new house. Home is where your mom is. 🤗
🧡Having a bird fly into the house after we got home from dinner on Wednesday night and watching my parents trap it in the bathroom and then go in their with tennis rackets and a trashcan to see if they could get it to fly out the window. Prime entertainment. 🐦‍⬛
🤎Seeing how happy the boys were to be with their grandparents again. 🤩
🦃Weather that doesn’t make my hair frizz! 🙌🏻
🧡Seeing my parents. 🥹

It was a really great Thanksgiving!

Grateful for all of YOU. Keep seeking Jesus. He loves you!
