Constant Kids, Constant Mess!

Do you have kids?  Can’t seem to keep the house clean?  Me neither!

One tip that has helped me:
Decide on a day to clean, then don’t stress on the other days.
Here is how it works,
I clean on Thursday afternoons.  Then on the other days, I can relax and know that on Thursday, I will dust, sweep, and mop (just the kitchen, dining room, and living room).  It gives me back my sanity.  I try to clean the bathroom either Thurs. morning or when my youngest is in the bathtub.  Bedrooms?  Each person is in charge of their own room.


Maybe this tip will help you, too.  Any other ideas, leave a comment below.

Have you heard about the new band, CZAJA?!

I haven’t blogged for over a year, but our family has been busy.  Our three oldest children, Jedrek, Slade, and Elena recorded an album of Elena’s original songs, had a release concert, played at CreationFest 2019, and other venues.  Many of you have been so supportive of this venture!  Thank you!!!

Many of their songs are about finding hope and rest in Jesus, even in difficult times and storms in our lives.  Their goals are to bring glory to God and encourage people through their songs. 

Check out their songs on their YouTube Channel

"Many of the songs on the album are about how we can find rest and 

refuge in the Lord even in the hardest situations. The songs “He Can Make a Rainbow” and“Refuge”are inspired by storms in my life. 

The song “There is Hope” was played on ShineFM 95.1. This song and many of my songs are about trusting in God through difficult times and finding peace in the Lord even in the hardest situations.  “On Our Own” is about how God changes us and our need of a Savior.
