In honor of Mother’s Day coming up, I’m going to share my current favorite activity to do with my boys…tea time! I love how it’s a culmination of wisdom from all the mothers who have influenced me. 1. The Preparation: While I heat the water, the boys select their tea. I’ve placed all my tea bags in a wooden ...

Seeking God’s Plan for my Boys
Only God knows what kind of men my boys will become. And so I seek Him and ask Him to give me wisdom. Wisdom to know His plans. Eyes to see their uniqueness. And then words to direct their hearts towards His calling. Today I’m writing over at the MOB Society about casting a Godly vision for your boys (also true for girls…but the site is ...
Thanks for your very generous words. God bless you this Mother’s Day.
The one-sided lunch date {an update on the boys & the book}
Wouldn’t it be fun if we planned to meet for a 3-hour lunch date? We could sip iced tea, eat some warm baked potato soup and share what God’s been doing in our lives. Okay…maybe we will have to settle for a one-sided date. A monologue of sorts…me blabbing on and on about myself (and my boys). Maybe you can email me or comment below your latest ...
Water Gun Target Practice
Okay, so I know I wasn’t going to post this week…but this idea just happened. Hoping it helps you with over-tired, candy-filled, post-4th of July kiddos. My boys LOVE their water guns, but they don’t love to get shot in the face with water. In the past, to give them a productive goal, we’ve set up recycled trash as a target to aim at instead of ...

Oh Sally, if you only truly understood the impact you’ve made on my mothering. To think your books & teaching are helping me raise 4 godly men and I’m only ONE of the many, many moms impacted by your life work? God bless you friend. Particularly on Mother’s day…a day I feel like you especially should get extra special recognition for helping moms around the world stand tall knowing they are worthy to receive praise! Blessings.
Love this, Heather!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

thanks susie for being a constant encouragement to me. Have a great weekend!
Interesting that you should post this… Believe it or not, the Lord put this very thought in my mind yesterday and I had already planned on doing this with my two boys! I’d never before considered it. I came across this post on pinterest this morning. What beautiful Providence! Thanks for the ideas!!
God is in the details. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me…truly. Let me know how it goes!
This is great! Sounds like a great way to have everyone connect.
I love this idea! My husband is a tea drinker (i’m a coffee girl myself
) so i know he will really appreciate this idea.
thanks sandy! Sometimes hot chocolate replaces the tea for the boys, and I drink coffee.
Oh I just LOVE this idea! Def going to try this! Thank you!
