We are ok doing basic cleaning, meals, laundry, chores along with not so intense schoolwork, not so many crafts and science experiments. However, I am always thinking on how to getting more done….isn’t that a question from most of us? Even if I am satisfying with the situation now, what about when my 2 toddlers get older and need more serious schooling? And what about a new baby on the way soon?
Besides, lately I have read a book called “Nourishing Traditions” by Sally Fallon, which talks about basically every processed food is toxic and harmful to health…..I do have a desire to cook “real food” for my family. Since, as a mother, I’m responsible for their health! But then, which means more time needed to cook (even milk brought from stores cannot be drink directly)!! Also, I always have a wish that I can sew more modest dresses and skirts for my girls, and it’s still not happening yet.
I got discouraged sometimes, and trying to figure out how to get around things bit by bit besides daily duties. Thanks God that recently, a lady lend me the book “Managers of Their Homes” by Steven and Teri Maxwell. As I read the book, I know that God is helping and leading me how to manage all that I got to manage for my family. I’m really thankful and getting excited all over again! =D
I feel like I’m reading something I wrote! I have a new baby, also read Nourishing traditions, but don’t have the time to bake healthy bread, make yoghurt, make cream cheese, or make healthy deserts anymore. I managed to make a few recipes last week while my husband helped me with the baby, but it’s difficult. My mother gave me good advice and told me that as long as I give them their herbs, for now, that should help them stay healthy since I can only do what I can. She should know, she had 9 children! I’ll be able to cook more later when the baby is older. And I believe the Lord will give us, as mothers, the help and time we need to feed our families’ healthy foods.
You’re not alone!
