Day 4 {31 Days of Motherhood}

In motherhood life can feel very boring, not in the I have nothing to do type boring, but the mundane. The day after day after day after day same darn thing type of boring. It's dishes, poopy diapers, messy baths after spaghetti dinner, mopping the floors again, sticky chairs, curl knotted hair, whining... It can become very overwhelming. I knew I had to find one thing. Just that one thing that I have to do but that I can find peace in. For some is ironing their husbands clothing, others it's cleaning out cabinets for me

it's laundry. I find some much rest, peace and reassurance in this little basket. How do I make it extend throughout the week? We are a family of 5 that means we are not lacking in laundry so instead of having one laundry day a week, every day is laundry day. Every day I do at least one load a day. There are days I don't get around to a load and that's ok, but most days I look forward to laundry time. I usually try and accomplish this when I can do it without distraction from anyone talking to me.

Find your peace & welcome it with joy!! 
If you have found your 'thing' that you have to do that you love what is it?

    I really love this. I think as mamas we have to look for those little ways to zen out in the chaos! It's a thing of beauty to find happiness in the everyday.

Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
