I am so excited about this. Hoping I can take in as much as I can before our midweek Bible Study at church, where tomorrow I start teaching the 3rd and 4th graders instead of learning in the adult class. Looking forward to it but could always use prayers to make this an amazing year for these kids. Anyways, I posted the first and third comment on my FB page. So excited about the release. May tomorrow evening touch many Moms and may the book touch even more Moms.
I so want to win this… I need this book and I could definitely use the mentoring. Oh my goodness… I’ve gone crazy on social media. I use Hootsuite… so I’ve posted as well as scheduled tweets and Facebook posts for all different times throughout the day today. I also posted on Pinterest. Not sure how you’re picking winners or if your entries are based on the number of times shared… but 3 x on FB, 3 x on Twitter, plus Pinterest. Can’t wait until tomorrow!

What makes you a weary mom? Trying to keep up with my home, husband, and 2 1/2 yr old son

Chasing two toddlers, working full time, and having a husband that works nights makes me a weary mom! Your book is so encouraging.
I shared on Twitter
I facebooked, tweeted, google+,and pinned it! Thanks for the free book and the opportunity to win more cool stuff!

I shared on Pinterest.
What makes you a weary mom?
Answer: Being a mom to a special needs child (Autism and SPD) Having to go to 2-3 appointments for therapy and health problems every day, and being a military wife and occasionally having to do all this alone when my husband deploys.
What makes me a weary mom? A very active and high needs 3 year old, a tweenager who thinks she has it all figured out and a son who gets sick whenever his 2 sisters get in trouble…so he is “sick” quite often!

I’m weary because I pour everything out and forget to be filled again. I mother, wife, work, encourage, blog, twitter party, volunteer, visit….and I forget to stop.

Working nights and keeping up with the family
Posted on local Mops page on Facebook
I’m weary because the kids interrupt my sleep…. and I have a sleep disorder that requires NAPS for me….ha, that doesn’t happen with 3 kiddos!!
what makes me weary is two children with special needs
What makes me a Weary Mom? My tendency to place impossible standards on myself or to compare myself to others.
So I am a wife, mom and teacher. I have 3 grown daughters, 24, 23 and 18. We also have a son, age 7
Just posted on FaceBook. Need that Hope…. Thanks for the book <3
What makes me a weary mom? Trying to keep up with the house, 4 kids, and a husband.
What makes me a weary mom?
Three spirited kids, a full time job and long days.
Working full time and trying to get time with my kids, in addition to everything else, makes me a weary mom.
What makes me a weary mom is when I forget that GOD is the one in control of my life and not me! I send my husband out as a police officer, yeah, that makes me weary, homeschooling 4 kids with a toddler and infant in tow, that makes me weary. All the cleaning, cooking, child training, that makes me weary too, but giving it all back over to Jesus, only THEN is my burden lifted and I am no longer weary!
I am sassy confused about how the party is supposed to work but I’m trying to follow along
IM. WEARY BC I try to do it all in my own.Strength
Congrats Crystal…..
This is great
I tweeted!
doing things in my own power, without Christ.
Long spans of my husband working 7 days in a row of 12 hrs shifts, me not feeling well (I have had 8 medical tests for the numbness in the left side of my face and neck and arm) in the last 3 weeks and still have no answers, and now my kids are out of control and feeding off of each other’s nonsense! UGH!!!!! Weary is an understatement!

Trying to be everything to everyone everyday makes me weary….

I spread the word on my facebook page and to my church family. I am a bit beyond the “weary mom” phase that you speak of (as the mom of a 33yr old) but wish there had been this kind of love sharing so long ago… and wanting those who are parenting now to have the opportunity to know about your amazing writing!
I am a weary mama because I have so many doubts and fears as to what I am or should be doing. I don’t have family to support me and husband works all day. I’m just exhausted and stressed.
Caring for the whole household, homeschooling, church responsibilities….these all needed His abundant grace to sustain me everyday.
The book surely will encourage me a lot.

Last time you admitted you were a weary mom to god?
About 10 minutes ago unfortunately.
Admitted to God I am weary-last night!
Just the other day. As a one income family I sometimes feel that I am not doing my part in helping in the finance area. Then I am reminded that I am.

The biggest thing that makes me a weary mom? Trying to do everything with my own strength… once I truly had no option but to trust God because of serious health issues, I realized that I have never really let Him be in the driver’s seat. Learning to let Him lead me everyday with HIS strength!

Today….as we fought a battle for our kids at school
I admit daily to God I am weary and in need of help just to make it through another hour and day
Admitted it this morning when I saw your book and downloaded it.
When was the last time I admitted to God I was a weary mom? TODAY! I realized that I have two important birthdays this weekend (my mother’s and my daughter’s 3rd) and I don’t have gifts, cards, cake…way behind in my party planning!
I facebooked on mt personal page https://www.facebook.com/trisha.novotny.3/posts/518138851530382
When was the last time you admitted to God you were a weary mom?
Actually praying about it? Pretty recently, within the last month. More like “God, I can’t do this..”
With 4 kids, making dinner is the most stressful part every day! Plus, I don’t get a break or quiet until 10 at night. Very weary!
When was the last time you admitted to God you were a weary mom? I haven’t. I’ve just showed my irritation to the people and things that I feel make me weary

God is good to me…He knows what I/we need
I dont think I have ever admitted I am weary
Too bad I am not in the US anymore. Only saw that just now, so now I can’t participate.
Oh well.
When was the last time I admitted to God that I was a weary mom?
This evening at pick up.
Question #2: (for two candles & a Mary Kay Pedicure set) When was the last time you admitted to God you were a weary mom?
Answer: This afternoon — and then I put on my running shoes and ran out the door… for almost four miles… listening to worship music and allowing Him to fill me back up!
Such a fun give away! already having so much fun!
What makes me weary? My husbands new job was 10% travel but he’s been gone 70% the last two months. I have two daughters that are preschool and 1st grade. They are adopted from the foster care system and the oldest is battling the physical and emotional aspects of her abuse. Therapy, SPS, lots of emotional drama. I cope by being task oriented and don’t take time to process. When it gets too much I feel like a mountain on my shoulders. I’d be lost without my Lord and Savior.

Where do you usually turn for relief?
To God first and foremost – my husband and my friends. I also go to counseling.
I’m ashamed to say that I turn to the T.V. too often.
Where do you usually turn for relief? I always turn to Prayer, God and my amazing husband!
Where do you usually turn for relief? Reading scripture or talking to my husband.
Or work
God and my husband. Mostly God since my husband works long hours.
should always be Jesus, but a lot of the time its the hubs.
First I turn to God’s word and then to my mom…she is such a help to me.
Or volunteer activities.

I tend to turn to my husband or early bedtimes or a book, but I need to rely on Jesus!
I/we tried raising our daughters to be modest in dress in a world that made it difficult to do so. We succeeded.
I struggle with taking care of everyone but myself.
I constantly struggle with getting into the word DAILY!!
Yum… Velata!
I’m constantly comparing myself to others. I know this isn’t good.
When my kids make a mistake, I feel it is a reflection on me.
I get support from my friends, who are awesome and nonjudgemental and my superman husband!
Yes, I struggle with laziness.
I know I don’t measure up in the area of finances
As a stepmomma to three babies who lost their momma a few years ago, I always feel like there is a part of me that wont measure up… however, I know that I have been prepared for such a time as this, and I love these babies as though I birthed them myself… and know it is a great testimony of God’s love to me!

I struggle with not measuring up in my time management, I often say yes to way too many things and then get completely burned out or sick. God doesn’t want me to be a buzzing bee.

Hmm…areas where I struggle. Feeling guilty for not wanting to be a stay at home mom is the big one.
I often do not measure up in my parenting, housework, being a wife
Can’t wait to read it!!!
Yes. I feel like I dont measure up to my MIL baking skills and to my mothers clean house.
I struggle with house keeping.
I struggle and “don’t measure up” with areas like fitness, keeping a clean/organized house, and time management.
I struggle with my temper a lot. I can speak in anger very quickly then regret it
I dont tend to measure up when it comes to keeping everything together. I’m not at all organized.
I don’t measure up in photography as my shallow response, and I don’t measure up in Grace as a mom and wife!
I struggle with comparing myself to others & not measuring up!
I shared the free book on Amazon link on my Facebook page!
I constantly struggle in having patience with the kids.
I pinned it!
I honestly feel like sometimes I do not measure up as a good wife…my husband would say differently but it is how I feel…..
I constantly struggle with not being able to get things done – housework, taking care of myself, teaching my toddler, church responsibilities.
With a house full of men/boys I constantly struggle with having a home that looks acceptably clean. I don’t like to invite people in when it looks cluttered and un-kept.
To Stacey’s “not measuring up”: I constantly struggle with feeling like a failure based on my own expectations. Especially when it feels like I’m doing the same things over and over but never getting ahead
When I yell, but I meant to control myself.
I struggle with patience
I constantly feel like I do not measure up in the area of setting a Christ-like example for my children. I struggle with patience and gentleness. It brings me to my knees, at the cross, and I am back in my rightful place (on my knees).
I constantly struggle with my self esteem, doubts of being a good mother and wife.
I struggle with how to receive AND give out grace.
Of course we all do. We need to grow in every way but some more than others! Mine happens to be patience!
I constantly struggle to keep up with “home keeping.” I end up disappointing my husband frequently.
I struggle with housework all the time. I can never ever keep up. I feel like I am slowly sinking in everything I have to do!
I definitely struggle with not measuring up as a mom, especially with homeschooling!
not having enough patience and love to keep my tongue from being harsh. being so selfish

I struggle when I compare myself with other moms and how they are doing.
Where do you constantly struggle… taking on too many things at once, then becoming frustrated!
Yes! I don’t feel that I measure up in ANYTHING. To being a housekeeper, mother, wife, teacher. All of it.
Hope i amd oing this right
In the book Stacey talks about “Not measuring up”. Do you have areas of your life where you constantly struggle?
I struggle with comparing myself to other moms, and not having as much time with them as I would like. Working mom’s guilt.
Keeping my house as clean as I would like it is a constant struggle.
I struggle with taming my tongue and sarcasm.
When I try to instill good eating habits for my kids, but my weight is a constant battle.
In the book Stacey talks about “Not measuring up”. Do you have areas of your life where you constantly struggle?
Feeling disorganized and not equipped for dealing with everything I should because of that.
I also struggle with organization
I struggle with raising my voice:(
I struggle with balancing everything… Homeschooling, housekeeping, working at home on my own business.
How exciting!!
I sometimes feel I don’t measure up in the follow through on certain projects that sounded good…
I struggle with losing patience with my daughter.
I struggle with patience. I also compare myself to other Moms who seem to do fun things with their kids and I don’t do that much,as far as arts/crafts.
Patience and keeping my temper is another area where I struggle. It’s so much harder when you’re sleep deprived and mentally exhausted!
I struggle with maintaining a household that glorifies God with a family that still wants to seek the pleasures of this world. The most recent example of this is partaking in Halloween traditions.
Seems we moms have keeping a clean house in common. Nice to know I am not alone.
I struggle with not measuring up in my with the Lord and taming my tongue.
I struggle being a stay at home mom.
Trying to do it all (like everything) then forgetting something simple, like my 1st graders snack and beating myself up for it.
I struggle with pretty much everything, honestly.
i struggle with spending enough quality time with my Jesus!
I always feel like I’m behind on housework, and I’m never good enough.
My house!!!! My kids!!!
Never measure up to my own expectations of being the best because I believe my kids deserve the best!
Doing everything for everyone ad not taking care of myself
YEAP PLENTY OF AREAS i dont measure up

I’m relieved to know I’m in the same boat as many when it comes to having a short fuse, especially when I’m running on a constant state of “empty.” I shoot a quick prayer to God for a change of heart but sometimes it doesn’t take. It really breaks my heart when my daughter will say to me, “Don’t be a mean mom.”

I struggle with trying to measure up to my own expectations of a stay at home Mama.
way too often!!!
I compare myself all the time. It’s one of my biggest struggles.
I think I compare my parenting and home to others far too often. I have a hard time being who God created me to be.
I catch myself comparing myself to others…way more than I should!
Too much
Not often. I have enough time trying to get past my own expectations!
With three kids under 4, a husband that travels 50% of the time and in the process of moving, I struggle to make it through the daily tasks required of me.
Oh, and I posted the free ebook on facebook
Catch myself comparing myself to others everytime I see someone….both positively and negatively….bad.
All the time! It is a major flaw for me!
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know? Every day when I log into facebook
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
Not at all ANYMORE! <3 God has given me victory over this and I cannot be happier to answer this question!!!!
Once or twice a month. Was a lot more when my kids were younger.
Every day. I want my kids and hubby to have the best!
pretty often. as a new mom, i look to the moms with kids the same ages as mine and think of how they have it all together… and since i am new to staying at home, and keeping the budget tighter, that can be harder too!
Frequently. I hear the little voice “i bet her house doesn’t look as messy as yours” “I bet she gets her laundry put away” “She keeps her tongue”
Too often! easy to do when you go to a church of 8,000!
I do that a lot. I have friends who seem to have it all together or make a little more money. I know Moms who seem more patience and good at solving arguments and I tend to think if I….. fill in the blank.
I frequently compare. Mostly when things are stressful or going wrong. I pray god will help me work on that.
Our pastor mentioned this sin Sunday. I compare everything I don’t have with others daily. It’s hard not to.
I think I am constantly comparing myself.
not very often. thank the Lord.. something I really have to pray about and stay on top of.
Constantly struggle with comparing =(
I compare myself with others daily. I need to work on that.
Comparing: Honestly….in this area, I think I do pretty good. I don’t tend to compare myself to other moms.
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
I’m sure it’s several times a week :-/ I’m better than I used to be at reminding myself not to do it, and pulling out more quickly from that dangerous pit… but it does still happen!
All. The. Time.
I am always comparing….not a good thing, but I think we all do it.
Honestly, I don’t think I compare myself with others in job, income or home. I do compare myself against my own expectations in my parenting and I don’t do well!
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
Just about every day, I know so many amazing mom’s!
comparing… I pray that I won’t. I try to stop and think, and yet…. I still compare, make mental lists of their strengths and my failures, or judge their decisions to make me feel better…. praying that I can claim fully and consistently my new life in Christ and stop this viscous habit!
Wow…powerful question…..honestly more often than I like.
I don’t compare myself to my friends in real life as often as I do my blogging friends. I think “wow, they look amazing! They have 7-10 children and they do all these neat homeschooling activities, we are doing good to get the basics in”. I always have to remind myself that everyone lives different lives.
I don’t compare myself to others very often because just because someone may seem to have it all together, nice things, or money… usually they struggle in some area to keep it all together just like I do. The older I get, I am comfortable with who I am and where I and my family are going… all by God’s grace.
MOD Squad question 2:
Far too often! My car door handle is broken and I have to climb across, the power steering fluid leaks and it’s loud, my clothing is all old etc. My husband lost his job and it has not been easy not being able to just ‘take care of things.’
In my younger days I would compare all the time. As I have grown wiser and stronger as a Christian I no longer do as often…in fact rarely ever now. For I know God has me where He wants me…as a homeschooling mom and wife.
When I am having a hard time, struggling, then the comparing starts.
It depends on the day. I think I compare myself more to others when I’m feeling low. If I’m really connected to God and other supportive family & friends, it happens less because I know in my heart of hearts that it doesn’t really matter!
I tweeted and shared on FB about the free book.
all to often.
when will I learn my identity is in CHRIST ALONE. :
I compare often, but don’t always get myself down for it. Usually it’s to see if I can get ideas from them of how to get through the day more efficiently!
I did just tonight. A new BSF friend came to drop off our lesson and I raced around picking up the house. ugh! She’s in a higher tax bracket and I got caught up in trying toimpress her.
Unfortunately I compare way to much. Especially to stay at home moms who get to spend all day with their kids.
Way too often!
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
I usually don’t compare home, job, parenting, or income, but I do find myself comparing style or how I feel I look compared to other ladies from time to time… I wish I had better style sense! haha
More than I care to admit…primarily with home and parenting. I tend to wonder how others do it all!
I find myself comparing constantly.
Not often.
I try not to but on occasion I do
I don’t like to make comparisons. I’m happy with my blessings.
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
Sadly this is a daily struggle for me but I’ve been using the Bible to find my way past it!
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know? All the time…especially parenting..mostly my desire is to make sure Im doing the best job I can so its easy to look at other moms and think they are doing a better job etc
I compare myself to others everyday. Her kids behave better. She has tine to put on make up. Her house is cleaner.
I compare myself with others everytime I get on FB and they post about the amazing things they do everyday.
Constantly.
I should ask when am I not comparing myself…
Often! Especially with facebook! It is easy to feel less than other moms, especially being a single mama. Even though, I know my worth isn’t measured by how I compare to other moms, {but found in Christ} it is easy to feel like I’m not enough.
Oh comparison. I compare myself, my parenting style, my fashion, my house, my job…I’m never good enough and “she” is always “perfect.”
I find myself working to prevent this pretty often…monthly.
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know?
I do struggle in the area of a clean home and income. I find myself coveting others who have newer vehicles than us. But I am blessed to have a nice home and a husband that works hard to provide for our family, while I stay at home.
home and parenting…all the time. Job/income…never really.
I find myself playing the comparison game most often when I visit close family with children close to my son’s age and I compare what all he has with what my son has.
All the time!!! Hard not to compare our life with the highlights of someone else
I compare myself more than I’d like to admit.
It depends on the time but I have caught myself often thinking if only I was as skinny as that mom or if only I was expecting my next child….etc…etc…. Then I just have to remind myself to be thankful for the wonderful family God has given me.
This is fun! most quiet and relaxing party i’ve ever been to.
Comparing…well, probably more than I should!
Not too often especially once you really get to know other mothers – most are real people with very similar struggles.
a life changer! found this book on a freecycle post. read every bit and loaned my copy to my best friend.
I find myself comparing myself to other when im in a social setting and seeing how other moms interact with their children. I always think i should be doing something the way their doing it :/ especially when I am around my stepchildrens mother. its a rough situation. I think I am not good enough to often because my emotions feel so strong.
Every day!
I shared on Twitter
I compare way too much.
I believe it’s normal to compare and wish you had some traits other moms may have! Example: patience, organization, time management, financial security and the list goes on
Facebook is the worst for this!!!
How often do catch yourself comparing your home, job, parenting, or income to others moms you know? I catch myself constantly comparing myself to stay at home moms, I wanted to stay at home with my kids- & did for a short time, I am beginning to learn that yes, I can be a totally awesome mom & be a working mom too.
I compare myself with all of you amazing women that blog and write and love the Lord
Too much
For what the world thinks of me does not matter….that I love my husband, children and do God’s will is what truly does.
Mainly when I see someone with a baby around the same age as mine who’s looking great… I feel like I haven’t done enough to lose the baby weight. Petty, I know.
I feel i am unique and dont compare myself..God made me who i am
All too often
I am conscious of the fact that I do more often than I should compare all of those aspects of my life with other moms. When I’m tired and stressed out and having a grumpy day, I find that it’s those times that such comparison games “attack” me and get me down. But I love the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy” by Teddy Roosevelt. I’ve tried to remember that and be content with my life as it is, while seeking to improve things where I can. God is my strength. He’s still workin’ on me!
Frequently. I have been doing a lot of study in being content lately because this is a weakness I have. Not so much the “Keeping up with the Joneses” materialism but the “perfect family life” for me.
Sometimes, but not that often – if I do it’s usually in relation to “their kids are so well behaved and look at mine today” or something like that
Congrats Mickie
Just pinned this on Pinterest. Thanks for the book and opprotunity to win!
Not too often – feeling very blessed in our current situation.
This is really cool.
I compare far too often! Its way too easy to do so – especially in housekeeping and mothering.
I just found out about this and shared on my fb page. I struggle daily and it’s nice to know there are other moms out there to offer support.

I can’t seem to stop myself from comparing. Especially being a single mom and attending a church and mother’s group where everyone else is married.
comparing for comparing sake can be awful, but for inspiration and ideas i find it helpful
God has blessed us with one son, age 7. Lane is the joy of our lives. We have 3 grown daughters, 24, 23, 18.
I love this, and am looking forward to reading the book! Thank you for such wonderful encouragement <3 (I shared on Pinterest)
comparing: not so much anymore, learning to be content and just knowing that i am blessed just where i am!

My boys are always trying to build things, and since they are boys, *I* am the one who gets stuck with the mess! =-)

I woke up 2 days ago to find my 2 year old had knocked the gate down and painted his body and the walls with peanut butter lol. I just had to laugh. The cleanup stunk though. :/
My boys were throwing EPIC fits at Target this week about costumes and out of the blue my 4 year old screams. “I’ll die for my sins, I’ll do anything, I NEED DARTH VADER!” I was so upset but I crumbled into laughter in the aisle. These kids keep me on my toes.
Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel.
So my 8 year old son is walking around like Popeye getting ready for bed.
Me: Why are you walking around squinting your eye?
Christopher: (in nonchalant tone with a shrug) Oh! Because I had an eye surgery.
Me: How did you have an eye surgery without me knowing?
Christopher: I dunno.
Me: When did you have that?
Christopher: Tonight! When I was having a doctor check with the light in your ear, mouth, and eyes? Guess what? I was testing for that and I got an eye surgery in it!! That’s WHY I keep my eye away from close lights!
Me: -__- what? *shakes head*
Christopher: Yep, that’s how you avoid these situations, mother. Oh, did you know that Animal Crackers are various animals shaped into crackers?
Me: WHAT?! No! What kinds?
Christopher: um probably like circus animals you might want to say. The animal cracker company make good or great, great means they are baked, and then shaped into crackers. Good means just shaped.
Me: And how are you eating them then?
Christopher: With my fingers.
Me: *facepalm*
It made me LAUGH!!!
Everyday with my boysies is a crazy day! Both boys (when they were much younger) had a tendency to pull every tissue out of the box and unravel the whole roll of toilet paper!
I posted it on my Facebook page and had lots of friends re-share it and download the book! So exciting!
All the emergency room visits! Not funny at first but good gried. 14 stitches and the end of a finger cut off in the middle of the night!
My oldest daughter goes into dinosaur mode when she gets scared. One day at target a littl boy came up to her to say hi and she went T rex on him and scared him to death…. that’s my girl
This afternoon my older boys convinced their younger sister to attempt climbing the shed roof…. she made it up fine and then sat there and cried cause she couldn’t get down. I wasn’t much help climbing after her being 38 weeks pregnant
but I told the boys we just had to be confident and help her down and she got down just fine…… and then had a nice conversation about not following the boys everywhere!
As I was playing along at the last stop, my 2 wild boys made me scrambled eggs (a whole dozen) on a crockpot warming unit. *sigh*
Makes me feel WEARY!
Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel. My 3 yr old walks around the living room yelling loudly, I’m a T-Rex! It’s makes me laugh, but also makes me wish I had a girl on my side.
My son is always pushing the limits of what his body can do. Once when he was 5, he decided he wanted to ride his bike with no hands, like the 14 year old neighbor boy. We ended up at the doctor’s office getting his knee glued shut. There’s never a dull moment with my son around.
Using a big ball of yarn, my boys decided to turn our front porch into a gigantic spiderweb/trap over the summer. We had to use the back door to get into the house because they had tied up our front door. all my husband could do was shake his head at them when he came home for lunch.
In the book Brooke McGlothlin talks about her active boys and how they can make her weary. Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel.
By boys have never been real active like others I know. But I do remember one day when my husband came home and I told him that the boys (then only 2 of them) were climbing the walls today. I had a picture of one of my sons doing that in the hallway.
The other day I was cooking dinner, and came to find my 3 yr old son in the sink in the bathroom giving himself a bath!! Luckily no damage done. And luckily I didnt go completely crazy like most times, just cleaned it up and moved on. My boys keep me on my toes 24/7!
My 4-year-old Jacob is “Mr Personality” and when he hugs strangers at church I usually feel apologetic and embarrassed!
Question: In the book Brooke McGlothlin talks about her active boys and how they can make her weary. Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel.
My boys are typical boys, who love to rough house & tumble. As they are getting older, they are beginning to learn the quirks of their mom’s personality. They have learned that if they tickle me hard enough, I will squeek when I laugh. So, now they will gang up on me and tickle me to make me squeek infront of their step-dad. It makes me feel very loved that they are learning me & like making me laugh.
Oh, boy. My youngest is 13 months, so he doesn’t have a story yet.
But, my oldest used to pee all OVER the floor when we were potty-training. Quite frequently, actually. That made me weary.
crazy thing kids did… coloring with brown marker all over his face….looked like a chocolate mess.. and it took a few days to wash off!
My son loves to dance. We were in jamba Juice the other day, and a song came on that had a good beat. He immediately got up & danced in the middle of the store for about 3 minutes straight. I loved how carefree he was, he didn’t care who was watching, and he he had a huge smile on his face the whole time.
)
My oldest is constantly climbing. Recently I came downstairs to find that he’d painted me a picture…all.by.himself. Yep, paint (waterbased) on the paper and the kitchen floor and chair. He was so proud that he’d done it without help that I couldn’t do anything but hug him, thank him for the picture, and clean up.
One time we were at McDonalds and the girl said, “wow, 3 boys!” My middle son said, “we have 2 girls but they are at home in their cages.” (Speaking of our dogs)
Our 3 daughters were calm…our son is always on the go. He plays hard and long. As for a funny story I can not really think of any…just watching how hard and long my son plays makes me weary. He plays so hard he sweats buckets.
One morning last week my 15 month had a busy but quiet morning in his crib. When I went in to get him up he had pulled the cable outlet (behind his crib) out of the wall and he was wearing only his shirt; no pants, no diaper. Silly boy!
found two new pages to follow on FB at this awesome party.
Oh my boys. The best times are when the smells fill the cars and the boys start laughing. Its worse when we’re in church or in public somewhere…
My girls are both adopted from china….while waiting for her little sister my oldest would tell anyone who would listen that her sister was waiting for her in her hina…..I got the strangest looks and then had to explain that she had not mastered the ch sound….lol
We had to eat a quick supper in the car before one of my girl’s dance class. As we sat in the parking lot, it turned in to a “make your brother dance to get a french fry” party! It was a much needed laugh in our hectic day!!
One of the funniest things my son has done was while getting on the elevator for the first time. We were going to the dentist… another first and I was already concerned that he might be scared. I was trying to explain to him that we were going to get on the elevator to go up to the second floor when suddenly he looked at me with such fear and said, “mommy, I don’t want to go in the alligator.” I couldn’t help but laugh… but had to restrain myself so I could calm his fears.
Where to begin? Tooth paste and fiddlers seem like a topic that is always ripe for creative disasters at our house. I have found lovely art on the sink the cabinet the wall and toilet!
I used to compare myself to others a lot. I’m learning (slowly) that God created us all differently. My strengths will be different than someone else’s. But that’s what allows us to be the body of Christ and to help each other. Most definitely Christ’s strength can shine through our weakness.
The day of our house inspection (the one we were selling), I had put my son down for a nap beforehand. A half hour before the inspection I went into his room and he was sitting on his bed and had a ghostly look to him, as my eyes traveled around the room and landed on the changing table I realized he had emptied a container of baby powder! Needless to say I wiped him off and did a quick vacuum job. I actually took a picture first because it caught me as funny.
My boys are always doing crazy thing to make me feel defeated, but I just laugh and deal with it. I know I will miss it someday. This morning it was dumping all the “Gerber Puffs” on the table and floor!
Hmmm… too many to recall lol My second son could not get to the bathroom in time while we were outside the apartment playing and he just pulled his pants down right there and used it. I about DIED! Some older ladies were out there and they giggled. I was not giggling lol
One funny story is when I had finally cleaned off the coffee table, trying to declutter and all that. Turned around and the next thing I know, my little one is dancing on it. How she got up there and not fall, I have no idea. I have kept stuff on the table ever since
I shared about the free book…. One thing, though. I have an anaphylactic allergy to coffee. Any chance I can be excluded from that drawing?
Being a MOB is such a blessing
but can be so wild and crazy. So thankful for this book! I posted this on my Facebook page twice today and had great responses both times! Thank you!
My boys are now in their 20′s, so this happened many years ago…. When my boys were younger they were out in the front yard, in the driveway, and they decided to start a fire with their magnifying glass. An older woman stopped in front of our driveway in her car and shouted out to the boys, “Does your MOTHER know what you are doing??” (they say she was all huffy) My middle son took matters in his own hands and politely replied… “It’s alright, we’re HOMESCHOOLED!” LOL Oh geesh! Yes, weary mom….
aferw days ago my son ran through the house naked screaming “i’m a naked hobo!” repeatedly :/
My boys are constantly making me laugh, from chasing each other with their towels trying to ‘whip’ each other, to their funny conversations.
My oldest boy keeps trying to jump from more stairs until I finally imposed a rule of “only jump from as many steps as you are old”…. This rule came about because he was posed on the 7th step ready to go for it! Fortunately, for this Mama’s heart, he hasn’t realized his latest birthday entitles him to an extra step (5).
Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel? Well, for some reason my 3 year old calls her and everyone else’s belly button a “butthole button” and this past Sunday she was at church talking about how she has a butthole button and sometimes she pokes her daddy in his! Yeah, try explaining that one!
I was mortified!
Funny Story: My 2-year-old son found Desitin at a friend’s house one time and smeared it all over his body. I have more, but you only asked for one…this one’s fresh in my mind!
My boys, 4 & 2, are always on the move! My 4 year old is constantly telling people he is 4 (he just turned 4)…but almost 5, and after 5 he’s 6…after 6, 7…after 7 he’ll be 8…and sometime after that he’ll be 16, and THEN he can drive a car!! This makes me feel 12 years older, LOL!
This actually happened to my ex-husband, not me. He’d taken our then 3-year-old to Little Gym, and he noticed our son had a big booger in his nose. He went to wipe it, and our boy yelled loudly enough to be heard in the next county, “DADDY! Don’t touch my booger! I want to LICK it!” I laughed so hard I nearly cried when he told me that story.
Just today we were at a train museum and they would not stop picking on each other. (ages 3 & 6)
My little man is only 8 months & found my wallet , hid under an end table and emptied it. Heard giggles and excitement about his accomplishment
my son keeps me laughing constantly!!!
My crazy boys are ALWAYS doing something crazy. After doing school lessons the boys went outside to help with chores. I went out back to find one in the loft throwing hay on the cow, one covered in mud from his nose to his toes because he was trying to catch a rabbit, and one eating sand in the sand box. HELP with chores? Uggggggg I <3 them all!!!
My little guy made a 1 yr old play “fetch” yesterday because he was too tired to chase the ball. I thought it was funny!
My kids tried to “make breakfast” one morning and spilled cereal everywhere! What a way to start my day!
Tell a funny story about something crazy your kids did and how it made you feel.
My daughter wanted to help clean…I walked in the bathroom to find wet toilet paper and bubble bath smeared across the bathroom. Love that she wanted to help, but oh what a mess! I ended up laughing and crying at the same time.
)
Found this book tonight by accident but He must have planted this seed! Was feeling sorry for myself ss a recent health scare has knocked me down and out. This momma needed this!
My son loved taking baths… He would take his GI Joes with him. Only a few…we would find wet footprints from bathroom to bedroom. He would go get ALL of them. Just had to laugh as first tme we could not figure out why floor was wet….he is Fun loving to this day
My now-3-year old got up the other morning and announced, “Daddy, I have a penis!” His father concurred that yes, yes, he did. My son then went on to say, “And it’s AWESOME!” All boy, all the time. LOL
I tweeted!!!!
Hahahaha!!! Lisa H. I just snorted milk up my nose when I read that!
I’m a 43-year-old single mom to a 3-year-old… our life is filled with chaos and crazy. The hardest thing for me is dealing with how he likes to crash and bash his toys and cars. All the noise is overwhelming. I’m grateful for the MOB Society and this book!
Congrats Ashley
I facebooked and tweeted about the your awesome book today! yay! Excited for you girls!
My daughter so insisted on doing things herself and the next thing I knew she had fallen in the toilet because she wanted to potty train at two years of age!
I think the funniest was my son decided he was he steaked through the halls at church when he was aboit 18 months old ….
Ok this posting and going bck and forth to other sites takes forever…this page goes to the top with each refresh. Vey time consuming
Today our 5 year old twin girls played one of their fave games. Lining up the dining room chairs in the living room and playing Hop Scotch. I have no idea, bu they love it!
Shared #1 on FB!
Pinned it too!
I did! Thank you!!!
Shared on Facebook
Facebooked it also
Thank you so much for the free book!
Driving home from church I asked my 3yo where she wanted to eat lunch and she stated at the table. Like it was an odd question for me to ask her.
My little one covered himself in Desitin too, Stephanie
I cried for 2 hours with him while I scrubbed him with every shampoo, dish soap, and cleaning product I could think of. My husband called and said, “Did you try GoJo?” That degreasing hand cleaner that mechanics use? UGGGGGG!!! Worked like a charm!
Picked up my free copy for my iphone kindle app today, already started reading it. Thanks so much!
Downloaded my copy!! Excited to read it!!
Also Facebooked!!
Their hearts are so tender and kind and innocent (for the most part).
Something good. My kids see the good in everyone, everybody is a friend in their eyes.
my goods are so polite, loving and kind to other children!
My boys are very compassionate. When someone is hurting or sad they go out of their way to cheer them up. They also really want to do the right thing and follow God’s word. I love it!
We have lots and lots of love!
Q2 on Mob Society~ My family is super close.
Something good about my family….We stick together. No matter what. Through the good times and the bad. I love that about my family.
Yes, I downloaded my free copy. Thanks!
My husband and sons are so funny! I have a serious personality and the keep me silly.
I think our family is unique because we love each other fiercely even having undergone 3 years (my hubby and I) / 1 year (my hubby and son) of separation.
We all loooooooove to have fun and tell jokes!
Brooke shares in the book how finding the good in your kids changes your perspective. Tell us something good about your family. My son insists on reading his Bible every night and he never fails to say he wants a kiss from us before going to bed or leaving home.
My family is truly hilarious! We are always laughing!
The best thing about my family? We support one another’s dreams, even when it means we have to sacrifice what we’d rather be doing. And we lift each other in prayer.
The Mob Society Question 2:
My children have a heart for the ‘underdog.’ They won’t ever let someone sit alone at school or be alone on the playground, etc. <3
They are amazingly quick learners. They catch on easily.
When you look and see the good it makes it a little easier to deal with the bad/rough stuff….. helps me realize they aren’t ALL bad
and there is hope!
Something good about our family? We love each other. My children love to snuggle with me and read books. They miss me if they are gone a long time.
we love to have fun with each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My family is awesome, by kids love to laugh and they love each other!!!
Good thing about our family… we are one funny group!
Something good about our family, the love shared!! It’s just me and my son.
One thing good about our family is we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We have a lot fun, are very silly and laugh a lot.
Tell us something good about your family.
We know we can count on each other.
Our family is very close & loyal. We can always depend on one another. We are always there for each other!
My family is military so we are super close knit because my husband, my boys, and myself are all we have so we stock like glue.
My boys love to pray for others. We do bedtime prayers and Bible reading. Both boys pray for their families and their Daddy (he works into the night). My husband is an awesome leader and provider for us. I could go on and on.
Something good?? My son is hot tempered but his giggle will melt your heart!!!!!!!!
We enjoy spending time together. Laughter. Mommy dates. Daddy dates. Movie nights. Popcorn and “Funny Shows”
Tell us something good about your family.
We all honor and serve the Lord. I love worshipping with my entire family.
Something good about our family: its our family! =D We do FUN right and we remember to remember the “favorites”. Every night we all talk about our favorites before bed, its our “sweet talk” and it makes a bad day into a good day because you remembered it right. =)
I am so blessed to have a husband that goes to work M-F to support us and allows me to stay at home! We chose to sacrifice some material things for the benefit of our children.
Something good about my family….this year it was made complete through our second adoption!!!
We are a family that works together….we raise Christmas trees and our children have all worked in the fields. We are also a homeschool family. Our 3 daughters have all graduated and we are now teaching our son, age 7. His sisters have all helped in the teaching as well.
By the time I post there is already a winner
The greatest thing about my family… is that we love each other, no matter what. We aren’t afraid to say we’re sorry. Jesus is the KING of our home. We will get through every test and every trial… together.
My daughter likes to help people, especially with cooking, washing dishes, and laundry.
Finding the good in my kids…. My older son is crazy creative and doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He’s got a good heart. My younger son has the most amazing laugh and loves to read, and he’s still young enough to like to snuggle with his mama.
I love how compassionate my boys are. Especially the older two towards the new baby
Something good about my family – I have 4 boys, ages 9, 8, 3 1/2, and 1. My second son has severe autism and that impacts our family immensely. But it gives us new perspective on what is really important in life, and forces us to be creative in our adventures. It is extremely difficult, and I am still trying to find God’s purpose for all of it, but we are doing it together! Love them all
Seeing my children’s gifts and talents starting to emerge is amazing… I always pray that God will use them in a mighty way. Seeing the good in them gives me hope for the next generation.
We love doing things together
Each boy is sooo different Nd brings something special to the family. And they love their mommy!
We like spending time together.
We do silly really good! Singing and laughing are a close second.
Something good about my family: we laugh a lot. And I just love my son’s little giggle and smile. It’s infectious.
After five years of infertility we were totally shocked when a pregnancy test came up positive. Our son is now 15 months old, and my husband is an amazing father, and I am able to live my dream of being a SAHM. I love my boys like crazy!
We love to laugh A LOT!
Something good about my family? One, my husband is AMAZING with taking our child out of the house to ‘give me time’. Two, we just found out we are expecting TRIPLETS! our sweet little family is doubling in size this next year! I say that’s good:)
It’s easy to see good when you specifically look for it. It’s easy to see i my boys when I listen in on their conversations and watch how they protect and love each other!
Something good about our family, we are always there for each other.
Something good? Ever slip into your childs room at night while they’re sleeping? It’s like looking at angels <3
The good in my family is my husband is wonderful, supportive, and great. My little guy already know to ask Jesus for help when he is scared or when he is hurt.
Tell us something good about your family.
I’ve been blessed with kids that have ‘servant hearts’ – they just love to “be big” and help out!
Also, they keep me laughing and well entertained… and joy is always a good thing, right?
My oldest 2 children confide in each other often and are really good friends
Something good: My son asks me to sing “Jesus Loves Me” to him every night and it always makes me smile and reminds me that indeed, Jesus loves us…this we know
We always have fun with each other! I am a blessed momma!
We do silly really well.
About my family….We love to be together…even now that the kids range from 29 to 13 (2 if you count the grandbaby) But we honestly like having fun together!
We are AMAZING HEROES!
My kids handled losing their dad better than I ever will! They were strong for ME at time, all of us curling into group hugs piled on the floor where I fell. God gave me ANGELS!!!!!
It was a challenge for me to even be on my mom-sites because it seemed everyone was talking about their husband and their great life, and all I saw was grief! The FIRST weary mom book made mention of the positive also. I started shifting gears and after two years, we’re vibrant, alive, and MORE PLAYFUL than EVER!!!
My family is good at memorizing scripture. I have been very proud of us as we attempt to hide God’s Word in our hearts!
We spend a lot of time with our kids and try to really take time for those teachable moments. And it’s not about just growing your kids to be smart and athletic and musical, but teaching them to have character and most importantly to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
Q#2: Brooke shares in the book how finding the good in your kids changes your perspective. Tell us something good about your family.
My husband is compassionate & giving- but most importantly he loves God more than he loves me. My oldest Son is very creative, and has the most contagious smile on earth.
My youngest son is mastering the art of real conversation & still enjoys (sometimes) being mom’s little boy.
We put each other ahead of everything but God. Family time is a priority and we all, so much, enjoy each other’s company.
My son insists on reading his Bible every night and he never fails to say he wants a kiss from us before going to bed or leaving home. He is almost 3
my kids saw their dad get saved and they became saved. a family that prayers together stays together
I love my family’s support and care. We have some health issues going on with a close family member, and my family has come together to work as a team. It’s so important to help each other, to lean on one another, and to lift each other up when one is struggling. I admire the selflessness that they display, and am so very thankful to have such an incredible family. <3
Love seeing my children’s gifts and talents emerging.. I always pray God will use them. It gives me hope for their generation
shared on fb! awesome!
Something good – my boys love to cuddle. Makes me feel better.
My children are adults now , we still vacation together and eat dinner together when they are home
I have a very strong willed child. She is my was my first and so I thought it was just how parenting was going to be. I have since had two more babies and realized she is much more difficult. I have been doing some reading on how to help her focus her energy positively and the most helpful tip I read was- Strong willed children make wonderful adults full of in integrity if they are parented well. This has become my new goal for her and completely changed my approach to how I parent her- My new goal: help her become an adult (and child) with intense integrity
Each boy is sooo different and brings something special to the family. And they love their mommy!
My family is such a blessing! We are so close-knit and open and I couldn’t get through my day without hugs from my hubby and son!
My girls dance like no one is watching and I love that
We love just being with each other.
I’m always amazed at the thoughtfulness of my children.
My kids are super helpful almost to a fault.. I am thankful that I am able to spend all day everyday with my kids.
Can’t wait to read this book. Shared it with friends on FB
Each boy is diffferent and brings something special to the family and they love theri mommy!
Downloaded my copy – thank you!
