Crunchy? Silky? Or as Abbie Halberstadt has coined it, crispy at best? These are words used to describe where you fall on the spectrum of natural living. As I began my journey of marriage, homemaking, and motherhood, I knew I wanted to make the best choices for my family. I wanted to bring things in our home that would be good for our health and wellness. But being a 90s kid with your typical 90s mom, I was starting from scratch! Since those early days, I have learned so much and would consider myself pretty crunchy. According to some, I still have a long way to go, but I do my best to be a wise steward and make low-tox choices.

Over the past decade of homemaking I have researched, read articles, listened to podcasts, and gleaned wisdom from people I trust. Little by little, changes added up, and we are living a more natural lifestyle. I try to not be one who is swayed by every new fad that blows my direction (there are a million of those! Thank you social media!) Some have merit to them, some do not. I desire to employ wisdom and stewardship in every facet of my life, even down to the “little things” such as what laundry detergent will we use and what foods will we choose to consume or avoid. These seem like minute details of life, but in a toxin-ridden world, they add up!

Part of the stewardship I have as a wife, mother, and homemaker is to do what I can with the resources God has given us to make my home a haven- a safe place. I want our bodies and health to thrive. This means I am aware of what we eat, wash our dishes and clothes with, clean our home with, and so on. I want us to be able to be the best we can be for the Lord. I fully understand that there are things far beyond my control, but when it’s something I can control, I try to do so wisely.

Going back to the early days me… When I began to realize the overwhelming amount of toxins and chemicals found in almost every product we use on a daily basis, I decided it was time to make some changes! I started where everyone recommends you begin- in the cleaning cabinet. As one supply ran out, instead of running to Walmart for more Windex or bleach, I did some research and made a more natural swap. Now, I can safely hand my cleaning caddy to my 8 year old daughter without fearing that she will die of chemical exposure (we do still teach safety and how to properly handle cleaning solutions!) I cringe when I think of all the “cleaners” I rubbed all over everything thinking I was eradicating germs. It might have accomplished that, but it was also introducing so many toxins into our home. There’s a saying that goes “the nose knows!” Well, it does! Trust it. When you pursue a low-tox lifestyle, you’ll quickly find that your nose will tell you when something is toxin laden!

Where to Begin

-Start with easy swaps.

When you run out of a cleaning supply, instead of replacing it with the same brand item, do a quick search and try to find a more natural solution.

-Start with one area of the home.

What room do you think needs the most overhaul? The laundry room? The kitchen? The bathroom? Focus on one area.

If it is the laundry room, look to make little swaps as you run out of things. Out of detergent = look for a more natural option. Out of dryer sheets = swap for wool dryer balls, you can even add essential oils to them for scent. Out of bleach = that’s ok! Your whites don’t need it anyway! Hang them out in the sun for a few hours, and voila! Bright as new!

-Opt for reusable options.

Cleaning supplies like paper towels, wipes, plastic bottles, etc can all be easily replaced with reusable options. These are better for the environment and much better on the budget! I have a cleaning caddy that I keep stocked with rags to replace paper towels, glass bottles to refill with homemade cleaners, and so on.

-Utilize nature.

It is amazing how God designed the world for our good. The simplest things like I mentioned above about using sunshine to brighten your whites work! Some other natural elements to implement in your home might be opening the windows or having plants that clean the air. Did you know that even opening your windows for 10 minutes a day can cause a huge difference in the air quality of your home?!

-Dust.

I know, it’s not a fun job, but keeping up with the dusting is a huge aspect of keeping a clean home. Dusting regularly reduces allergens, inhibits mold growth, reduces asthma and respiratory symptoms, and improves indoor air quality.

Favorite Cleaners and Cleaning Supplies

• Norwex: The envirocloth and window cloth in particular are great cleaning tools! You can find video demonstrations on YouTube about their cleaning power, but believe it or not, all you need is the cloth and water! This has been a great option to use as I’ve included my littles in household cleaning tasks. Some other products I love from Norwex are the dusting mit, bathroom scrub mit, mop system and the cleaning paste (for all those places that need extra scrub and shine!).

• Young Living: I don’t do a lot with essential oils, but I do love using them in cleaning. It’s a wonder all the things that lemon is capable of! And if you are like me and you struggle to feel like a room has really been cleaned without it having a fresh smell, insert oils and a diffuser! In the early days, I missed that lemony scent of Clorox wipes in the bathroom. I equated that smell with a clean sink and toilet. I can still get that fresh smell, but without all the chemicals of Clorox wipes! I just pop a few drops of lemon oil or citrus fresh in our bathroom or kitchen diffuser and breathe in the moment of a clean room! I also enjoy YL’s Thieves Cleaner. A little goes a LONG way! Simply dilute a capful or two in a glass spray bottle with water, and you have a great multipurpose cleaner! I use this for cleaning the sinks, toilet seats, counter tops, pretty much everything. I have also used their Thieves laundry detergent and found that to be a good option for washing clothes.

• Tineco Vacuum/Mop: We recently bought this vacuum/mop and Simeon and I keep looking at each other and asking, “Why did it take us so long to get something like this?!” We have five littles ages eight and under. Let’s just say that meal time clean-up took ages… and it happened at least three times a day! We needed a solution. This vacuum/mop has been AMAZING! It cleans up all types of food messes off the floor while mopping. It also leaves almost a completely dry path behind. I cannot rave about this enough! It has saved us so much time. I think our future knees will thank us!

• Electric Spin Scrubber: This one is great for cleaning showers and bathtubs!

• Carpet and Upholstry Cleaner: We recently moved and were looking for something to use to clean used furniture we purchased from marketplace. We found this, and it has been a handy tool for so much more than cleaning couches. With little ones in the home, there is always a spill on the carpet or people getting sick on the floor. It’s been easy clean up with this tool.

• A Healthier Home by Shawna Holman: This book takes you through your home room by room swapping things out to make your space a little less toxic. She has many great cleaning recipes that I use in my home (as well as recipes for personal care items, etc!)

Remember

Rome wasn’t built in a day. It has taken us over a decade of marriage to make many of these swaps become our norm and accumulate the different cleaning tools and gadgets we now have. Don’t let any of this cause you to spend money you don’t have! Be wise with the resources God has given you, and if this is an area that is important to you, take baby steps to make it a bigger part of your life. Little changes add up over time.

I’d love to hear what your favorite cleaning supplies, resources, and tips are! Share in the comments below!

Beneath the Swirling Sky

by: 

Carolyn Leiloglou

A captivating novel! It is centered around art, specifically that of Van Gogh. This book had us wanting to learn more about art, famous artists, and techniques. A well-written page-turner!

*For parents: There are a few things to note. Some slang words were used that I was not comfortable with my children reading. Because I read it to them, I could easily filter these out.
There was a part of the book that talked about nude paintings and how one character felt embarrassed looking at it. Later in the book, it uses that experience to draw a spiritual connection for the character, but I felt that could have been accomplished without the mention of nude art.

by: 

Sally Clarkson

Sally Clarkson’s wisdom and advice has done so much to shape my motherhood journey. She is real about the challenges, while always directing our gaze towards Christ.

But her heart for the Lord, for motherhood, and for the home has remained constant. Following the seasons of the calendar, she likens them to seasons that mother’s walk through. Life is a journey, and Sally breathes encouragement into your heart to walk this journey well.

Every Home a Foundation

by: 

Phylicia Masonheimer

“There is a holiness and humility in the liturgy of home; we are on our knees here more than anywhere else. What if we met God while there?”
Phylicia Masonheimer paints a beautiful portrait of the value of home as God intended. There will always be ordinary tasks to accomplish. Dishes will always need washed. Laundry will always need folded. Floors will always need mopped. But what if those ordinary moments became moments of worship? She encourages readers to make that happen and then watch the transformation that occurs as you weave worship into every routine of home.

George Washington Carver

by: 

Janet & Geoff Benge

Our family has been listening through the Christian Heroes Then & Now and the Heroes of History by Janet and Geoff Benge. It has been one of the best things we’ve done together! These stories are captivating and engaging. As parents, we are finding that stories (even biographical ones) can teach lessons to our children better than our lecturing. It has been a delight to introduce our children to men and women who found the purpose God created them for and lived it out.
G.W. Carver might be my son’s favorite biography we’ve read to date. He was captivated by the story of Mr. Peanut Man and his relationship with Mr. Creator. Overcoming so many odds, Carver accomplished amazing things for the agricultural industry and science!

Boy Mom

I have read “Raising Amazing” by Monica Swanson and loved it. “Boy Mom” didn’t disappoint! I love her practical, yet thoroughly biblical approach to life, and in particular, raising sons. Boy moms, we have quite the task on our hands! We aren’t just raising our little boys. We are raising future men, husbands, fathers, leaders. This is a big task, but we have the Lord with us, and hopefully a husband who is on board with instructing our sons in righteous living. Monica covers so many topics that are relevant to raising boys such as health and hygiene, friendships, media, pornography, dating, and more. This is a book I will revist as my son grows. A must-read for mamas with boys!

Erid Liddell was fast, so fast that he became known as the “flying Scotsman.” He said, “God made me fast. When I run, I feel His pleasure.” Eric would win many medals for running, even the Olympic 400 meter gold. But he found something greater than gold and that was the souls of men and women in China. He would give up his fame and running to go preach the Gospel. He gave his life for others. This was seen clearest in his final days as he gave his all to bless and encourage fellow prisoners of war in a Japanese camp during WWII.

I have planned. I have prepared. And I have LOVED every minute of it! I am excited about a new school year. But ultimately, our year is in the Lord’s hands. I have done my part as mama, but I am trusting God to direct our days and solidify in my children’s hearts and minds what is most important. God always does a better job than I can! It is a joy to partner with Him in the education of my children. Here’s to much growth- physically, academically, emotionally, and spiritually- in 2025!!

When my children were little, this was the foundation of our homeschooling. I drifted away as they got a bit older and life got busier. As I’ve been preparing and praying over the 2025 school year, I felt the Lord bringing me back to this idea. I am out of the season of having a newborn and struggling to get the morning rolling. The morning is now the time of our day where we are most fresh. I desire to start our days circled around the table or piled on the couch together. There will be time later in the day for individualized instruction, but this is the time where we draw close and learn together.

There are also certain subjects, topics, and memory work that is better done in group setting. We will begin this time with our opening devotions having a quick time of prayer, singing, Scripture memorization, and Bible study (see resources below). From there, we will cycle through the other resources as time allows for. I have given an hour of our school morning to these assignments. I think that will give plenty of time for us to get through a variety of things without overwhelming the kids with information or cutting into the rest of our lessons too much.

Below, you will find the resources I have complied in my Morning Moments binder.

Jesus Led Me All the Way

by: 

Margaret Stringer

Book Bio from Amazon: A missionary-preacher, teacher, medic, and friend-to the province of Papua, Indonesia, Stringer lived her love for Christ and His children to the exclusion of personal gain and modern convenience. Through detailed memory, anecdotes and excerpts from her journals, she shares the array of unforgettable characters she lived, worked and praised with for forty years. Living out love is an evocative, soul-stirring phrase, containing nothing of the worldly, starry-eyed, stomach-a-flutter ethereal. Rather, the concept seems very like the hammering out of salvation on God’s own glowing forge; teaching a man to fish instead of sending him a manual. To witness such zeal and faith must surely be a moving experience for any minister, and certainly much more so to one who works in distant and primitive lands. Jesus Led Me All the Way is simply one of the most engaging and immersive recollections of a missionary life ever written.

My Review: Margaret Stringer’s enthusiasm and love for Christ is contagious! I loved reading about her life’s work among the jungles of Indonesia. A wonderful missionary biography!

Being Elisabeth Elliot

by: 

Ellen Vaughn

Book Bio from Amazon: Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a remote Amazonian indigenous people group killed her husband Jim and his four colleagues. And yet, she stayed in the jungle with her young daughter to minister to the very people who had thrown the spears, demonstrating the power of Christ’s forgiveness.
 
This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith—a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. And while things in the limelight might have looked golden, her suffering continued refining her in many different and unexpected ways.
 
Her early years, related in Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, traced the transition of a young woman who dealt in “certainties” to the woman who lived with the unknown.
 
Now, being Elisabeth Elliot increasingly meant confronting how much she did not understand. She sought her reference point beyond her own experiences, always pondering what she called the “impenetrable mystery” of the interplay between God’s will and human choices.
 
And it is that strange mystery which shaped the rest of her startling life story.

My Review: I have mixed emotions about this book. As an EE fan, I feel the author disclosed personal struggles, sin, and intimate details that taint ones view of Elisabeth. I did walk away reminded that Jesus is our only perfect example. While we can learn much from the lives of others, we should not model our lives after fallen men and women.

Carry On, Mr. Bowditch

by: 

Jean Lee Latham

Book Bio from Goodreads: Readers today are still fascinated by “Nat,” an eighteenth-century nautical wonder and mathematical wizard. Nathaniel Bowditch grew up in a sailor’s world—Salem in the early days, when tall-masted ships from foreign ports crowded the wharves. But Nat didn’t promise to have the makings of a sailor; he was too physically small. Nat may have been slight of build, but no one guessed that he had the persistence and determination to master sea navigation in the days when men sailed only by “log, lead, and lookout.” Nat’s long hours of study and observation, collected in his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the “Sailors’ Bible”), stunned the sailing community and made him a New England hero.

My Review: 5 STARS!!! This is one of my top-favorite books that we’ve read together as a family. You will fall in love with the story and characters. While there is an element of hearbreak woven throughout the story, Nat rises above the challenges life brings and carries on! While this book was loved by our entire family, my husband and son really enjoyed the nautitical themes. You will also find wonderful moral lessons that lead to further family conversations.

The Mysterious Benedict Society

by: 

Trenton Lee Stewart

Book Bio from Amazon: “Are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities?” Dozens of children respond to this peculiar newspaper ad and are then put through a series of mind-bending tests, which readers take along with them. Only four children—two boys and two girls—succeed. Their challenge: to go on a secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it, they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. But what they’ll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you’re gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help.

My Review: Utterly quirky and enchanting! Sometimes you need a light and fun read and that is what this book was for me. It is written for a younger audience, but I will make note that there are some scary elements such as kidnapping and mind control. Overall, it was an engaging story that kept me on the edge of my seat!

Marmee

by: 

Sarah Miller

Book Bio from Amazon: In 1861, war is raging in the South, but in Concord, Massachusetts, Margaret March has her own battles to fight. With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret’s four daughters— Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—now rest on her shoulders alone. Money is tight and every month, her husband sends less and less of his salary with no explanation. Worst of all, Margaret harbors the secret that these financial hardships are largely her fault, thanks to a disastrous mistake made over a decade ago which wiped out her family’s fortune and snatched away her daughters’ chances for the education they deserve. 
Yet even with all that weighs upon her, Margaret longs to do more—for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters. Living by her watchwords, “Hope and keep busy,” she fills her days with humdrum charity work to keep her worries at bay. All of that is interrupted when Margaret receives a telegram from the War Department, summoning her to her husband’s bedside in Washington, D.C. While she is away, her daughter Beth falls dangerously ill, forcing Margaret to confront the possibility that the price of her own generosity toward others may be her daughter’s life.
A stunning portrait of the paragon of virtue known as Marmee, a wife left behind, a mother pushed to the brink, a woman with secrets.

My Review: I wasn’t a huge fan of this book. While it did give some beautiful insight into the relationship between Marmee and Laurie and Marmee and Aunt March, other aspects really detracted from the novel. Marmee’s character reflected tenants of modern feminism. Some of that was true to it’s time, like women desiring the same educational rights as men, but I feel like the author took it too far in Marmee’s resentment and bitterness towards being treated different because she was a woman. It was also wishy-washy on the aspect of fatih, which I felt did a disservice to the strong undercurrents of faith in the original Little Women. It also painted Mr. March in a negative light- always taking care of the poor to the neglect of his family. Not really a book I’d recommend which is disappointing. The Marmee in Little Women might be my favorite literary character!

Parenting

by: 

Paul David Tripp

Book Bio from Amazon: Sometimes parents wish there was a guaranteed formula for raising good kids―a certain list of rules to follow to ensure they’d have obedient children. But if moms and dads view their role through the lens of God’s grace, they will see that the gospel must first shape how they parent before they can effectively shape their children.
In the bestselling book Parenting, Paul David Tripp unfolds a more biblical perspective on parenting than merely adhering to a list of rules. He lays out 14 gospel-centered principles that will radically change the way parents think about what it means to raise up a child, informing everything they do as a parent. This edition includes a section of engaging study questions for every chapter, helping individuals and groups reflect on each topic in greater depth. 

My Review: One of the top best parenting books I’ve read- and I’ve read many! This is one I could read again and again. I read it a year or two ago, but Simeon and I read through it together this time. It provided much food for thoughts as we seek to raise our children in accordance with God’s Word. A must-read for every parent!

Island of the Blue Dolphins

by: 

Scott O’Dell

Book Bio from Amazon: Scott O’Dell’s Newbery Medal-winning classic is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage. Based on the true story of a Nicoleo Indian girl living alone on an island off the coast of California, Island of the Blue Dolphins has captivated readers for generations.On San Nicolas Island, dolphins flash in the surrounding blue waters, sea otter play in the vast kelp beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, a girl named Karana spent eighteen years alone.Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that killed her younger brother, constantly guard against Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. Her courage, self-reliance, and grit has inspired millions of readers in this breathtaking adventure.As Smithsonian magazine put it: “For kids all over the country, reading the book in language arts classes, Karana is a powerful symbol of their growing independence. Through her, they can imagine themselves making their way in the world alone–and thriving.”

My Review: A story of overcoming danger, isolation, the elements, and more. My children were fascinated by the main characters resilience and ingenuity to survive alone on an island. I wish we would have known before reading the book that it was based on a true story. That would have made it even more incredible!

I love that the author took very scientific facts and discussed them in an easy-to-understand way! This is a LARGE book, but I found it to be a very easy read!

The Christmas Doll

by: 

Elvira Woodruff

Book Bio from Amazon: Lucy and Glory are orphaned sisters with no real place to call home. Only their memories of a beautiful doll named Morning Glory brighten their bleak lives. When a deadly fever sweeps through the workhouse where the girls live, Lucy and Glory flee to the mean streets of London.
One day the girls find an old battered doll that Glory senses is their beloved Morning Glory. But Morning Glory is no ordinary doll–the girls learn that she has magical powers that will change their lives in amazing ways.. With the help of the doll, the sisters discover the true meaning of the Christmas spirit.

My Review: Such a beautiful Christmas story! It does not shy away from the tragedies and terrors orphans faced on the streets of England, but the redemptive end shines the brighter for it. Walk with Lucy and Glory through the hard times, and you will be rewarded with a most enchanting ending!

Little Christmas Carol

by: 

Joe Sutphin

Book Bio from Amazon: In 1843, Charles Dickens penned a story—a classic Christmas tale full of ghosts and the endearing humbug Ebenezer Scrooge. That story—which has captivated readers for over 150 years—is now accompanied by the delightful illustrations of Joe Sutphin. With charming woodland characters and settings that families will adore, readers will be transformed by Little Christmas Carol.  A tale of greed, regret, loneliness, reflection, compassion, hope, and a joyfully changed life, this beautifully illustrated edition will enliven the timeless classic for readers young and old.
For the perfect family read-aloud, make Little Christmas Carol a part of your family’s Christmas tradition. This new edition makes a wonderful gift.
It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child himself. —Charles Dickens

My Review: Beautifully redone by Joe Sutphin, master behind Little Pilgrim’s Progress. This quickly became part of our Christmas celebrations. Each evening leading up to Christmas, we turned on the tree lights and piled on the couch to hear Daddy read this aloud to us. It is one I see us revisiting in Christmases to come! The illustrations are beautifully done, and the story holds very true to Dickens classic.

Gentle and Lowly

by: 

Dane Ortlund

Book Bio from Amazon: Christians know what Jesus Christ has done—but who is he? What is his deepest heart for his people, weary and faltering on their journey toward heaven? Jesus said he is “gentle and lowly in heart.” This book reflects on these words, opening up a neglected yet central truth about who he is for sinners and sufferers today.

My Review: This is my second time reading through this book, and what depth! I come away from each chapter being amazed at God’s love for me, and falling more in love with Him because of it! A must-read! It will encourage your walk with the Lord.

Ben Carson: A Chance at Life

by: 

Geoff & Janet Benge

Book Bio from Amazon: As a child growing up in Detroit, Ben Carson had a dream of becoming a physician, a dream that rose out of struggles with poverty, racism, and poor grades. As Ben persevered and strove for academic excellence, his life became one of compassion and service.Today, Benjamin Carson, MD, is known as the American neurosurgeon with gifted hands. The first surgeon to successfully separate twins joined at the head, he directed pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital for over a quarter of a century. His life continues to be a model of what it means to care deeply, serve brilliantly, and lead courageously (1951-).

My Review: Ben Carson! What a man! His “rags to riches” story has been spurring people towards greatness for decades. Our entire family was captivated by his life’s story. My favorite part about the book is the emphasis he put on linking his success and overcoming poverty to turning off the TV and reading books! His love and respect for the Lord in his life also shone through. It was a good opportunity for us to introduce our children to a great man who was also a great Christian!

There are many places where you can purchase or borrow books! Some of my favorites for getting books on a budget are thrift stores, Hoopla, Libby, or your local library. If you watch for sales, you can often find deals on Amazon Audible or on physical books on Amazon. I use this option often when I know it’s a book that I want to add to our home library.

Should you choose to purchase these books through the Amazon links I have provided, thank you! They are affiliate links which gives a little back to our family at no extra cost to you!

These are a few things that have helped me when I find myself in a reading slump:

Choose a Captivating Book

If you are trying to get back into the habit of reading, you don’t want to pick up War and Peace by Tolstoy. Leave that one for another day. Choose something that will catch your interest and reignite that passion for a good story.

My usual genre of choice would be non-fiction. But at times when I’m trying to get back into the habit of reading, historical fiction is often my go-to. When I am reminded of the thrill that comes from a book that you can’t put down, I am thrust back into making room in my life for reading.

Put It Down If It’s Not Something You Love

If you’ve been trying for months to finish a book before you move on, but that is what’s caused you to “fall out of love” with reading, put it down. You can always return to it later. Or you have my permission to never revisit it again!

As a girl who believes in finishing what I start, that was a hard lesson to let myself accept. But several of my reading slumps were caused by me trying to trudge through a book that I did not care about. When I allowed myself the freedom to move on, the love for books returned.

Make Time for Reading

Sometimes the slump comes because time for reading gets crowded out of our busy schedules. That happens, and it’s ok! Different seasons call for different things. God did design our bodies and minds to need rest though. Even in busy seasons, most of us find some time to unwind. It is tempting to give that time to scrolling or watching TV. Before you know it, and hour is gone, and you walk away without feeling relaxed. I know I am guilty of this from time to time. Reading does for my body and mind what the glow of a screen will never accomplish.

I am a busy wife, mama, and so much more. I have learned throughout the past decade of marriage and family life, that I need to have times of rejuvenation for myself. Carving out even a few moments in the day to read fills me up more than most other hobbies.

Read Shorter Books

We all like the feeling of accomplishment. There is joy in reading the final page of a book, closing its cover, and saying goodbye (or until next time!) When you are in a reading slump, maybe you just need to choose a shorter, more digestible book to give yourself that feeling. Then when you find yourself back in the habit, you can tackle the longer reads.

This happened to me once when I was working through a VERY long book with lots of information. I was finding myself reading less and less because I felt that I would never finish the book. I decided to commit to reading one portion of that book each day, and then moving onto a shorter book. That helped me so much! Seeing progress made on my reading goal and ticking books off my to-read list gave me the desire to keep reading as a habit. Slowly but surely, I worked through the long book and finished it! I’m glad I didn’t wait until I had to start reading something else!

Commit to a Chapter A Day

Often, we need to set a goal to give ourselves the motivation to act on something we desire for ourselves. Committing to read one chapter each day can help kick-start the habit. This doesn’t take a large amount of time and energy. You can read one chapter in 10 minutes or less! It does set you on a path back to where you desire to be. One day, your one chapter might become two. A week later, you might find yourself looking forward to as many chapters as you can fit in!

This is a helpful tip for me, especially when I am working through a book that isn’t quite as captivating as others. I might have a fun fiction read that I’m loving, but I make myself read one chapter from the book that isn’t as interesting first.

Organize Your Bookshelf

Something as simple as organizing your bookshelf can be a reminder of all the wonderful books you have that you have yet to read!

I recently did this, and now I have a stack of books sitting on my office desk that I can’t wait to read! I have determined to wrap up a few others before I plunge into this new stack, but I can hardly wait! That keeps me focused on working through my current reads.

Utilize Audiobooks

Audiobooks can be a wonderful option for those who desire to read yet find themselves in a busy season. Audiobooks are still books!

I tend to be more old-school. I would much prefer a printed book to an audiobook, or even to an e-Book. But there have been times when audiobooks better fit the demands I had in that season of life. Reading books that way still allowed me to keep up with my reading goals and enjoy good books.

If you’ve known me for long, you’ll know how passionate I am about books and reading! But even I have times where reading is not something I want to do. These tips have been helpful to get me back on track! I hope they will be for you.

Do you have any advice to add? What helps you when you are in a reading slump? Email me at nohighercallingpodcast@gmail.com and let me know! I might add your tip to the list!

But there will also be days of down time spent at home. As a mama to five littles ages eight and under, I have come to learn that if we want our home to run smoothly, we have to have rhythms in place. That doesn’t mean that we don’t break away and live on a whim from time to time, especially during the summer. It just means that as a general rule, we have a certain order to our days.

This summer, I have made simple charts for my oldest two children for the days we spend at home. The tasks on this list only take 1 1/2 hours of time. This is a perfect fit for us. It gives plenty of freedom to their day allowing them to enjoy the free play and sunshine of summer. But for those long days spent a home, it gives direction to a portion of our day. It also is a designated time that I set aside from my tasks to focus in on the children and spend quality time with them.

What is Our Summer Rhythm?

-Practice Piano (30 minutes)

-Read (30 minutes)

-Math Review (5-10 minutes)

We rotate through these Math Flashcards from Think Tank Scholar.

-Activity Time (25 minutes)

See below.

-“How Can I help you, Mama?”

The kids are to ask me this question and are challenged to have a heart ready to serve. I give them one task and try to keep it simple and quick like putting their dirty laundry in the washing machine or wiping the kitchen table. It is an opportunity for me to train them to serve with a joyful heart as well as to be one who is quick to ask others how they can be a help.

Activity Time

Each of these activites are written on a popsicle stick that I keep in a mason jar. The kids alternate turns choosing from the jar. Whatever activity is chosen is the one we do together for 25 minutes. These are fun things that each child looks forward to doing together! I enjoy the quality time I get to spend doing the activity alongside them.

As a wife, mama, and homemaker, I want to steward our health well. We live in world where that is difficult to accomplish! Everyone seems to have the “right” answer, yet answers conflict. We have lost trust in the healthcare system. Big pharma is consumed with making more money instead of helping people be healthy. Doctors prescribe pills as a first option instead of suggesting more nourishing diets, exercise, and sunlight.

I’m not completely against conventional medicine. It has its place in the grand scheme, as well as in my own life and health. But I have questioned if it should always be my first option. This has led me to MUCH research, learning, and praying! It is a journey that I feel as though I have just begun. Motherhood has been my catalyst. I want to make the best decisions for my children’s health. I want to be a healthy mama for them! This is a truth I hear echoed by many other mamas.

The biggest question we then ask is “Where to start?” As mentioned before, I feel as though I have only explored the tip of the iceberg of a more holistic approach to health, but these are some things that have been a huge blessing to our family as we have sought to fight sickness naturally.

General Health

-Eat Nutrient Dense Foods. I’ll admit, I’m not quite in the camp that is eating fermented foods, organs, and livers. (applause to those of you who do!) But I have made it a top priority to cook almost all that we eat from scratch using real food ingredients. Even simple switches make a difference- making all your bread from scratch, shredding your own cheese, eliminating processed foods from your diet, limiting or cutting out sugar. Make sure you are eating plenty of protein and in-season fruits and veggies. I’m convinced that so many of our health issues in the western world are linked to the foods we eat! Read labels. Be able to recognize harmful ingredients and avoid them. Real food tastes so much better anyway! It’s worth the extra effort!

–Move Your Body. I am a busy mama of 5 with very little spare time, but I’ve found that moving my body every day is so helpful for my physical and mental health! Ideally, I love to get outside and take a walk. That doesn’t always happen! My daily goal is to get in a minimum of 10k steps and do some stretches throughout the day. This helps relieve a lot of tension that builds up through a day of homemaking and tending to little ones. I also enjoy doing the free workouts or stretch routines from Nourish Move Love.

-Water. I love my Owala water bottle! It keeps liquids cold for a long time and holds 32oz. I find I drink much more water since having this bottle and keeping it near me throughout the day. We have a Berkey water filter which is amazing at getting all the bad things out, but it also filters out good minerals. I use Trace mineral drops to add the good minerals back into my water.

-Circadian Rhythm. My friend, Sarah Boots from Faithful and Flourishing has been raving about the health results she’s had from implementing circadian rhythm into her life. It’s so amazing, I had her join me on the podcast to share her story. You can also get her guide, A Christian Woman’s Guide to Health and Hormones . Ladies, it’s gold! Every woman needs to read it!

–Magnesium. I apply this Good Night Lotion from Earthly every night before bed to aid with sleep. Two years ago, I did a htma lab to access my mineral levels, and I found that while most of my minerals were low, magnesium was right where it needed to be! I attribute that to this cream!

General Medicine Cabinet Essentials

-Rice Bag. Great for soothing sore muscles, cramps, or joint pain. I use this instead of a heating pad. Someone made me one, and they are very easy to make! Or you can find them other places like Etsy.

-Otoscope. I have a child who suffered from many ear infections as a toddler. After a dozen or more doctor visits, I decided to get an otoscope and learn to recognize an ear infection. This helped know how to treat him and when to take him to the doctor!

-Thermometer. I don’t know why it took me so long to get a no touch thermometer, but it is game changer! Gone are the days of trying to get sick, wiggly kids to hold a thermometer under their tongue! This is instant and accurate.

Immune Boosters

–Elderberry Syrup. Packed with antioxidants, polyphenols, and vitamins, this is fantastic for immune support. There are many different options available, but you can get this elderberry kit from Purely Parsons.

-Propolis. At the slightest onset of a sore throat, we start using this throat spray to boost immunity.

-Oral Care. Thieves mouthwash, Thieves toothpaste, and a tongue scraper help keep bacteria at bay in the mouth!

Medicines/Treatments

–Badger Headache Soother. A peppermint oil-based salve to help conquer headaches.

–Earthley Tinctures. I have used many of the different tinctures from Earlthy, and they are all so good! Made with pure ingredients, you can feel safe using these with your family. They are clearly labeled with safety info and dosages for babies, children, and nursing mothers.

-Mullein Garlic Oil. Great for treating ear infections.

-Charcoal Mask. I use this charcoal mask from Mary Kay on my face, but a missionary friend to Africa recently told me that it works great at drawing out toxins from bug bites! She said to apply it to a mosquito bite, and the itching will stop and the bite with disappear in a few hours!

–Genexa Kid’s Pain & Fever. Tylenol has been completely removed from my medicine cabinet (lots of research available as to why, just do a Google search). I try to treat things with other natural sources, if possible, but if a child is miserable and nothing else is giving relief (especially when battling a fever), I use this to help them get through.

-Peppermint & Eucalyptus Oil. I enjoy diffusing oils for fragrance in my home, but I don’t often use them topically or internally. I have found that diffusing peppermint and eucalyptus oils in a room with someone who is having respiratory/cold symptoms has helped to clear them up! You can get oils from many places, but I use Young Living.

-Arnica Gel. Good for bruising, pain, and soreness.

-Urine test strips. I struggle with UTI’s, so it has been helpful for me to learn how to test and understand the results from an at home urine test.

-Herbal teas. This is an area I’m new to, so I won’t give many specifics. We do use herbal teas often when cold season hits. Sipping on hot tea with fresh lemon juice and honey is very soothing to a sore throat. I want to learn more about how other herbal teas can benefit different illness and symptoms!

More Resources to further your Research

This is an area that I am currently learning more about and growing in! As I learn and as the budget gives wiggle room, I pick up a thing or two to add to my natural medicine cabinet. What are your essentials? I’d love to hear in the comments!

These are some sources that have helped me learn more about natural health and living.

Simulated

by: 

Nova McBee

This is the second book in the series. I really enoyed the first book (mentioned in last quarter’s blog post), but I didn’t enjoy this one nearly as much. It felt very “young adult” in it’s themes. There was a lot of boy drama, etc. It also lacked the intrigue element that the first book had.

*Discalimer: I wouldn’t recommed this book because of the strong young adult drama elements throughout.

Love Without Borders

by: 

Angela Braniff

I started out really enjoying the author’s adoption stories, but I wound up not like this book much. Several reasons- 1. I was so disappointed in the author’s (a professing Christian) use of curse words. 2. I disagree on the author’s moral stance regarding IVF. 3. As the book went along, it seemed as though the family was very wife-led. She says that God would speak to her, she would inform her husband, and then she’d move forward on a decision and kind of pull him along behind. While I feel that a wife definitely has a say in decisions, and in many cases a husband leaves certain decisions soley to the wife, there were major, life-altering decisions that she was leading in.

*Disclaimer: I wouldn’t recommend reading this book for the above-mentioned reasons.

Little Women

by: 

Louisa May Alcott

There are no words! Why did it take me 32 years to read this classic? I fell in love with this story, and it might be my favorite book ever! My oldest daughter and I listsened to it on audio. We laughed with the March girls, and we cried with them. We watched as they transformed from little girls to little women. We learned from the struggles and growing pains that came along with that transition. These provided beautiful opportunities for me to speak into the heart of my little woman. I plan to read this with all my girls again and again!

Simeon and I listened to this book on Audible a few years back and gleaned so much from it. I decided to buy a hard copy so I could read it again and highlight and take notes.

Mere Motherhood

by:

There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed. I loved the author’s reflections and wisdom regarding “morning time.” This was a time when she would gather all her children, and they would begin their school day with the Bible, hymns, and read-alouds. Overall though, it was an average book.

Disclaimer: I was disappointed with the author’s use of a curse word or two.

Twelve Extraordinary Women

by: 

John MacArthur

I have studied women of the Bible for over a decade, and yet God always has more to learn from these women’s example. Some teach us through their faith, others teach us from their mistakes. Again and again we see God’s redemptive power through the lives or ordinary women who He used to do extraordinary things!

*Disclaimer: I DO NOT agree with John MacArthur’s beliefs regarding calvinism and reformed theology.
