“I did what most mothers do: I tried to push through. I added more structure, more rest, more help. My husband stood beside me, steady and kind, while I did everything that was “right.” And yet, the anxiety would not lift..”
"Being a mother has always been a desire of my heart from a young age. When people would ask me how many kids I’d want one day, I would say “six.” Since actually becoming a mother, this number has decreased significantly but my desire for a big family continued to increase and God, in His kindness, has granted more than I ever could have dreamed."
“The key to stress-free dinners is planning ahead. Every Sunday, I sit down with my Stellarize Meal Planner and map out our meals for the week. I consider what we already have in the pantry, what fresh ingredients we need to use up, and what meals will best fit our busy schedule.”
"I definitely felt the switch when we welcomed our third child into the family. Suddenly we were a ‘big’ family. Now we have five children and a lot of our daily routines and organizational habits, have become absolute second nature for me, that I do not even notice I am doing them in a certain way"
