Easy DIY Luggage Tags

Easy DIY Luggage Tags from chipboard and scrapbook paper via Walking in High Cotton

As I wrote last week with our Summer Camp Packing lists (did you download your FREE copy?) our kiddos have been adventuring away from home a lot this summer. They visited my sister, my mother-in-law, and now church camp. This is Speedracer’s first year at church camp and we’ve developed several little rites of passage for the first year. One is that they get their first toiletry bag (or shaving kit bag for the boys) and one is that they get their personalized luggage tags. This is an easy and … Continue Reading…

8 Tips for Carefree Flower Beds for Busy Moms

8 tips for carefree flower beds for busy moms--add color without the work. via Walking in High Cotton

I love having beautiful flowers blooming all around the house in the spring and summer, but I’m no green thumb! And a lot of the DIY garden articles I love to read and google do not have the same definition of “low maintenance” or “easy-care” that I do! I don’t even bother with indoor plants anymore and I have a long history of killing outdoor plants by neglect. I just get too busy for all the weeding, trimming, deadheading, watering, splitting and replanting. Besides, our vegetable garden takes up most of … Continue Reading…

Redirecting Anger with Healthy Activity

Redirecting Anger with Healthy Activity in children via Walking in High Cotton

We’re in a parenting stage where we deal with a lot of anger in our munchkins. We tend to think of that as something you deal with during the “terrible twos” and with toddlers, but it doesn’t magically go away when they become more verbal. I wonder if it doesn’t actually increase as your child’s mental and emotional capacity grows, but we start giving it different names. That sounds so negative! But the whole time they’re growing up, kids have to learn to deal with things like anxiety, disappointment, and … Continue Reading…

Finding Peace as a Working Momma

Walking in High Cotton Posted on July 28, 2015 by Jamie OliverMarch 18, 2017 1

Being a Christian is hard. Being a momma is hard. Being a Christian working momma is hard. With so many competing priorities, needs, and desires deep in your heart it’s very easy to get out of balance and suddenly feel like you’re living in a house of cards, ready to tumble down at any moment. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I have shared in the struggle. Today I’m over at Christian Working Mama sharing my heart, some tears, and some of the joy that has come into … Continue Reading…

10 books for BUSY MOMS {via www.walkinginhighcotton.net} #workmom #parenting #lifehacks #reading #books

{WOW–How ironic that I missed posting about time management yesterday because I ran out of time!! Life is crazy! Here’s what was supposed to be yesterday’s post..enjoy!} We got home from church last night and I took a look at my calendar and realize that I was double–no triple!–booked for this afternoon between two sports practices and an evening meeting for work. First I wanted to cry, but it was one of those cases where all I’d end up with was a headache and problem I still had to solve. … Continue Reading…

In Which I Am Just a Tired Momma in New Shoes

Walking in High Cotton Posted on July 26, 2013 by Jamie OliverJune 23, 2017 1
When you're tired and weary and trying to be a new Christian, sometimes you have to learn to rest. via Walking in High Cotton

Normally I like to post a farm update on Fridays, even if it’s just pictures from my phone from the week. But here’s what real life looks like sometimes–this week I just don’t have anything. I am tired, world-weary, and trying to find rest. This week I am just a momma with a sink full of dirty dishes and 7-inch tall grass to come home to tonight. I’ve got a house full of kiddos that need baths and a pasture of sheep that need to be wormed and some sassy … Continue Reading…
