I don’t typically overflow with parenting advice other than HUMILITY and REMAIN ON YOUR KNEES. But one thing I have found to be particularly helpful when raising our boys and working with preschoolers is what I like to call “The Circle Back.” ✨ Kids often express their anxiety, frustration or anger in big feelings or “tantrums.” There is no point in lecturing, preaching sermons, or reasoning with them when they are in this emotional place. ✨ The best we can do FIRST is help them calm down somehow. Be silly, if appropriate, redirect, listen to their favorite song, take a- by happyhomefairy 2 weeks ago
Oh it’s just me, trying to be an influencer with a house behind me in need of a good pressure wash and some weed pulling. Also me trying to use my limited photo editing skills to blur out our house number - can you tell? I will joyfully live in the land of imperfection, though, because it points us all to the only One who truly is perfect and accomplished what the little garden flag behind me celebrates!

Favorite Moments from ✨Easter 2021✨ >> Easter basket scavenger hunt success at 6:00 am. Church was the fullest it’s been in over a year. Singing “He is Worthy” and the lights in the worship center brightening as the song reached the best part. Zion walking around with his new stuffed bunny, “Ribbit”, from Grammie. Sitting outside with family while the kids looked for eggs filled with chocolates and coins. Changing out of my Easter dress into a sweatshirt and leggings. Not sure if the kids only ate Easter candy for meals today. Getting a family photo! No one is picking - by happyhomefairy 4 weeks ago

I forget the tooth fairy almost every time. I cut out the lunch box notes but forget to put them in the pails. I leave laundry in the washing machine until it needs to be washed again. I could have made the chicken and broccoli sheet pan recipe for dinner but ended up ordering pizza. Praise God that He fills in the gaps of all my good intentions. I don’t do everything perfectly but I can invite Him into everything. Instead of wallowing in my shortcomings, He says to acknowledge Him in all of our ways and He will make - by happyhomefairy 1 month ago

Quite possibly the best thing about ✨Disney✨ was experiencing it through Zion’s eyes! Whenever he would get excited about something he could not wait to share his joy with others. A monorail would drive by and he would light up and say “choo choo!” Then he would run to each member of the family repeating “choo choo!” until we responded with the same excitement. Looking ahead to Easter and this made me think how the believer’s “choo choo” is the resurrection of Christ! Like Mary was instructed in the garden to “Go!” and tell others about what she saw, we - by happyhomefairy 1 month ago

Let’s play a guessing game! Does anyone know exactly where this photo was taken?? ✨Spring Break 2021✨ - by happyhomefairy 2 months ago
Jethro was playfully chasing Zion around the house, but somewhere along the way it started to scare Zion. As a result, Zion would run into the kitchen to find me saying, “I need up!” over and over so that I could lift him into my arms for safety and comfort. ✨ The whole scene played in my mind for the rest of the day as I thought of all the things that chase after me throughout the day to make me fearful, anxious, or despairing. Like Zion running to me, I can run to Jesus and say my own version
