MommySecrets

Being a mom is the hardest thing I've ever done, but it has brought me so much joy! I want to encourage other moms on their journey, I'll share motherhood tricks, spotlight tips I've learned from friends, and I hope you will share your ideas. I will focus on secrets that help families stay balanced, healthy, frugal, creative, and closely knit. I will also share favorite fiction and nonfiction books that I have enjoyed. Many blessings to you on your mothering journey!

Volunteer at Church
A church's success in ministry depends largely on its pool of volunteers who are willing to jump in and get their hands dirty. Volunteering within the church is also a great way for you to get to know the other people in your congregation. Working side-by-side encourages conversations to go beyond traditional greeting rituals, to actually learning about each other's hobbies, histories, dreams, habits... Okay, maybe you don't want to tell people everything... :) Take a risk and get involved Invest your life in your church and in new relationships.
