Mothers With Love

Do you sometimes start or end your days feeling overwhelmed with the overflowing demands of  motherhood? Are you feeling tired physically and or emotionally? Are you stressing about tomorrow, today? Do you often wonder or worry if you are even getting this mommy thing right? I know how you feel precious mom. The demands of motherhood are great, but I find comfort in knowing that God is greater; and that he desires to help me AND you! With everything in our lives. The love of God is so amazing! He loves and he cares. He cares about the things that are weighing you down. Here are just a few scriptures I want to share with you, so that you will be encouraged through your days of mommying (yes I made up that word, but it's a real thing, lol). You can use these scriptures as a point of reference to go back to when you need them. May I also suggest, take a few moments each day to just study the scriptures. Read them aloud and get them in your heart.  1. Matthew 11:28-30-...

As I watched a  friend of mine play with her young daughter the other day, I was fascinated how this little girl (1 yrs old) safely trusted in her mother, over and over again, as she continually threw herself backwards in complete trust that her mother would catch her and not let her fall. There was no doubt, no fear just a sure knowing that mom would be there to catch her. She laughed and giggled and it was a joy to see. I thought to myself this is how our heavenly father wants us to trust in him. I'm reminded of Matthew 18:3 in the bible that says " And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (NIV) I believe that this scripture speaks of the innocence of children and their natural ability to trust,believe, love, give... They are so pure and honest just like God. We have to become like them, like God, to please the father and enter into his kingdom.  It's always comforting ...

The holiday season is usually a happy and busy time of the year for most people. There's lots of hustle and bustle as people all around are joyfully shopping and preparing to celebrate with close  family and friends. However, for some people the holiday season brings about feelings of sadness and loneliness because they have no family or friends to it share with. You'll also find that some people are not actually able to provide the food needed to celebrate holidays like Thanksgiving. So, this year Mother's With Love is giving back! We are in contact with a local women's shelter here in Lincoln Park, MI and we will be serving them a lovely sit down, family style Thanksgiving dinner at the Moose Banquet Hall in Lincoln Park. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the owners of the Moose Club for so graciously donating their facility for us to use. What a blessing!  The Lord has put this on our hearts to do and there is such an urgency to see it through. We thank you kindly for bei...

All to often, we see women who are in constant competition with one another...  During these battles of competition, we see women who get some type of fulfillment out of tearing another woman down! What I see in the world of motherhood, is that moms do the exact same thing! Moms are torn down and judged simply for making different choices for parenting...crazy! Motherhood is hard enough without being torn apart by other mothers.  This is partially why Mother's with Love was created. I want to show other mothers how they can be loved on and supported despite the fact that one chose to breastfeed and the other did not. I want to be a part of building up other mothers, rather than tearing them down. Join the movement!! We're in this together precious mom. MOMS NEED MOMS...that's my moto. Show some love to a mom in need. Remember at some point you'll be a mom in need. Follow us at: Facebook.com/motherswithlove facebook.com/groups/motherswithlove  (mom group) mo...

Becoming a mother is one of the greatest joys of life. With motherhood comes a lot of good and even some.....not so good. However, through it all we are blessed to be given such a title and responsibility. Let's face it, some how at some point during our time of being mother, it seems all to easy to lose sight of YOU and who you really are and what you enjoying doing outside of being a mom. Somewhere in between the two million diaper changes, the breastfeeding, the baths, the preparing dinners and EVERYTHING else that you do. You've somehow lost our own identity. Your spouse can even forget who YOU are. You used to have a name, now he calls you mommy too, lol. You used to have hobbies and friends and it seems like now the only person you seem to be is mom and that's not really a bad thing!  The women you once called friends have slowly drifted away and no longer care to associate with you, as now you no longer have the same things in common. And after your long exhaust...

It's that special time of year again... Autumn!! Or as most of us like to call it, FALL!!! I simply LOVE the Fall season! Some of things I love most is the cool crisp air,warm sweaters, cute boots, the beautiful colors of the changing trees and the sweet smell of pumpkin and spice just about everywhere you go! However, I see that during this time of the year as the skies get cloudy and the air gets cooler, some people find themselves sinking down into a state of depression. Can I encourage you for just a moment? You be the one who dictates how you feel, not the weather. If you find yourself starting to feel groggy and depressed as the seasons change, you need to find a hobby or SOMETHING that aids in lifting your spirit. Figure out what types of things make you happy. What types of things make you smile. Writing in a journal perhaps, sewing, cooking, reading...just to name a few. Often times what happens to your mood has nothing to do with the actual weather, its more internal or...

Organize DON'T Agonize If you're anything like me, staying organized is VITAL in your everyday life of mommying  (yes, made that up, lol).  As many of you homeschool moms start off the school year, let me offer you some tips for keeping you and your little ones focused. Organization is key! Having a plan to stick to and keeping things organized will help you tremendously!! In our home we are preparing for our second year of homeschooling (woo hoooo!!). So, we are rather new to this ourselves, but I learned a lot after my first year that I believe will help some other moms who may just be starting out or someone who may just need some help getting organized his yeart. So, let's take a look... Mother's with Love Homeschool Room Write out a plan for the entire year - Now, if the very thought of this overwhelms you, have no fear (lol). You CAN do this!
