Seven Slings

If you know me at all, you know that I am a Dr. Laura fan.  I'm pretty sure I was the only female 20-something that was rocking out to AM radio listening to talk radio.  I remember listening to her and coach-K in the afternoons when I had night classes.  Anyways, that is not my point.  My point is, the other day I was listening to her (on podcast because she's no longer on AM radio) and heard about a great deal I wanted to pass along to all the other new mommies out there.

I think many of us know the wonderful power of the Moby wrap.  That thing is my secret weapon.  When I put it one, I kinda feel like super woman.  Anytime I am trying to get things done around the house, and I have a fussy girl on my hands, I just throw her in that and in minutes she is snoozed.  She likes it when I vacuum with her in the wrap.

Seven Slings is a lot like the Moby but it doesn't have a bajillion yards of fabric and doesn't require you to know origami.   Like the Moby, it offers all types of holds for infants up to 35 lbs. Seven Slings is running a promotion.  All you have to do is select a sling, then at check out, type in "drlaura" and you will get the sling for FREE.  All you have to pay is shipping and handling.  The total ends up being about $15.00.  These things are literally $40 bucks (plus S&H) without the promotion code so it is a great deal.  If your not a new mommy, it makes a great gift for a mom-to-be, so you might snag one up anyway.

I can't wait to get mine and try it out.  I love my Moby and it securely holds the baby in the wrap, but I am also reluctant to use to Moby out of the house because it takes me awhile to finally get the wrap on just right and plus it gets so warm.  So I am thinking this one looks really simple to put on and a lot more breathable, not to mention they are pretty darn cute!

"Now, go do the right thing...."

At this point I have so much stuff I am expecting in the mail.  I ordered a book off of Amazon called "Baby Wise".  Our neighbor claims that they followed the book and now their two daughters (both under the age of 2!) sleep 12 hours straight each night and take 2-3 naps a day...DEAL!  Luckily I finally went to the eye doctor and ordered eye-glasses so I might actually be able to read the book without a headache.  Apparently I have really really bad eye sight.  I also have a screen protector and a phone case coming for my phone.  Online shopping is so much fun!

Hey! I used Babywise on both my kids. Trace and Rory sleep 12 hours a night now too. They each take one afternoon nap that is 2 hours long. I used the sleep training parts, but not necessarily too much of the rest. The best advice is eat-play-sleep. You control the day time waking and napping time. Wake them up when it's time!!

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...

Never Say When

At some point in my journey, I forgot that church leaders are flawed humans too. I have a tendency to overly respect authority for the sake of their position. I assumed, being a pastor meant that there is some how a higher spiritual connection. Consequently, I would turn off my own discernment in favor for whatever I was being instructed to do by our church leader. The person I have grown to distrust the most and the person I betrayed the most was myself.  Examples: Early in our journey, we had a small group. For the most part, I LOVED small group nights. Until we had a change of seasons. I had just had my third baby. We were living in a rental property while renovating another home ourselves. I was working on leading our developing children's ministry and feeling over my head. Ian worked afternoons so either small group would take one of only two family nights or would be when he was working, leaving me to attend alone most of the time. Our small group had roughly 10-15 small chil...
