My name is Lauren. I have a wonderful husband that God has blessed me with and 2 children. I am Stay At Home Mom. We have a crazy hetic schedule so this is the most recent family photo that I have. It was taken a year and a half ago! Haha.
I am a Christian. I love my Lord and I TRY to instill the same in my children. I am also a forgiven sinner who day after day, falls short on this. I love to serve my husband and family and I also love to serve others. I feel that this is my Spiritual Gift that God has blessed me with. It is my way to show others His love.
I love being a mother and wife. My days revolve around my family and nurishing them. I am THAT Soccer Mom! I do have hobbies of my own though! But those also serve my family life too. I enjoy yard work and cooking. I even enjoy cleaning! As crazy as that sounds, it is true! I count my blessings as I clean! "Thank you God that I have a home to clean, clothes to wash, running water to scrub the potty, etc. Thank you for making me an abled bodied person who can get up and do these things!" So many people out there DON'T have homes to clean or clothes to wash. Many are too sick to be able to do these things themselves. It can change your whole outlook on scrubbing the bathrooms when you count it as a blessing.
As I said, I also enjoy yard work and cooking. I want my house to be a home. There IS a difference between the two. HOME is where the HEART is. ANy place can just be a house. A house is just a dwelling. I want my family to know that when they are HOME, it is a safe and welcoming place where they feel loved by my efforts in making it a sanctuary for them.
I am NOT perfect and I am NOT Susie Homemaker all the time. I do raise my voice. I don't always wear make-up or fix my hair. My children's clothes may not match sometimes. Heck, mine don't match sometimes. I often have a mountain of laundry. I live on coffee most days. I have forgotten that I was suppose to take the snacks and drinks for the soccer game before. My children do sometimes leave for school without their teeth being brushed. Are these the things that my children are going to remember and have to go to therapy about when they get older?! NO! So here I am, in this CRAZY world we live in today, trying to raise my family with 1950's values. It IS okay! I hope you enjoy my rants and my post and feel free to email or comment ANYTIME! Proverbs 15:31 says "If you listen to consttructive critism, you will be at home among the wise." If you don't agree or believe with something I say, I am okay with it. If you think I am ranting too often, let me know!
Have a blessed and happy Monday!
