95% Potty Trained

December 28, 2019 in Motherhood

Yes, the title is spot on– 95% potty trained. I leave 5% for the unexpected accidents and “can’t make it” moments. Believe it or not, we’ve been accident-free for about two weeks, and my sunshine has been wearing her big girl panties to school....

As a mom of 3, soon to be 4 littles all under the age of 5, I live by a routine. If I’m off on the routine it will literally shake up my entire day. 
•
I’m often told that I make it look easy, and I want to be clear there is nothing easy about this work. It’s an honor to be a mom, but it’s not easy. It requires discipline, routine, commitment, and guidance from the Holy Spirit. If I ever “wing it”, it is felt and honestly overwhelming so I stick to what works for us. 
•
Even when pregnancy has me worn out and exhausted from the day, I can pull from my true source of strength — the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the spirit — and bearing good fruit: self control, gentleness, joy, peace….is a daily invitation. Thats why Paul writes in Ephesians 5:18 (AMP) “but be filled with the Holy Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided.”
•
So in all things and in all actions — guided. Even if in this season it’s as simple as fixing lunches the night before. Do the little things well. 
•
Also if you're here to judge lunchables -- don't. 🙃☺️😘

If anyone is shopping for me — I’m a size six bedroom house, with a finished basement, 3 car garage, and wrap around porch. You can go ahead and add the pool if you just wanna add a little razzle dazzle.
