On this FabYOUlous Friday, if you are a Mother you might find yourself right now hanging on to life by a thread. Marriage, munchkins, work and summer vacation can fill our lives with lots of drama.

Summer is winding down and the munchkins are getting restless. They want their backpacks, school supplies and to get things organized.  It is important to get them organized and we need to get organized too.

A schedule and a routine is a mom’s best friend.  A calendar is a must for a busy and of course, beautiful, mom at that. You might even want to add some pretty post-it notes as well. 

The children may have concerns and reservations about the new year.  Make time to talk to them about those concerns and reassure them that everything will be ok.  Even if the mean bully winds up in their class again this year.  Talk about the exciting things this new years holds for them.

I recently heard a great tip too, which was to buy a book for your child when you run into the store. The Sons of Thunder love to read so I  thought I would try it out. This was a  HUGE HIT!  They have been buried in the books all week!  Yes, it cost a bit more, but it has got them reading and reading is something that is good for them and they love it.  Remember knowledge is power and the best way to achieve knowledge is through reading.  But I’m sure you already know that! 

Here is another tip to all you moms, It is my last tip for today. Make time for yourself and fit into your schedule doing something you love!  For me, that includes painting, getting a massage or just taking a good old hot bath, a walk, writing or even reading a book.

Yes, a good book. It’s hard to believe but I have said before how much I love Success Principles by Jack Canfield and I love reading it every day. The 450-plus page book has just been truly awesome and I am almost finished. I really hate for it to come to an end. I urge you to buy it today it is really worth the read.

 But all women are different. For you it might be hiking, running, drawing or going to the library.  But most of all remember to not ever  lose yourself in motherhood.  Remember who you are and what you love to do.   You will be a better mother when you carve out some “me” time.  At our house we always try to follow the “everyone deserves a moment even if it is just a moment” rule.

And fear not dear friend, the laundry will always be there waiting for you when you return from your “me” moment!    

 

Be blessed and encouraged abundantly today as we relish motherhood  and our munchkins. Oh Yes and that school will be starting soon!  Hee Hee

    Yes, the natives are restless! Drew will be starting band camp next week, which will take most of his day, so he is really trying to squeeze in all his game time/guitar time that he can. James is taking tennis lessons this week, so I’m getting a break in the morning. I’m glad you mentioned about talking about the upcoming school year. Drew will be starting high school, but we’ve been so occupied with the here and now, that I haven’t talked with him about that. Hope and pray all is well with you!

      Girl, it is a wild time isn’t it. I should have scheduled some last minute camps. Oh well, on ward and up ward! Yes, every year is a big transition but high school that is a mile stone and certainly a right of passage. You are in my prayers as we celebrate this wild but brief moment in our life! Be blessed dear friend!
