Mary or Martha?
We have a lot on our plates as SAHM's. And our faith, while at the very core of our desire to serve our families, also requires a delicate balance of the necessary personas of BOTH of those famous biblical sisters, Mary and Martha.
A Drop of Oil, or ADOSoaps was born amidst my own juggle between efficiency and serenity. Striving for spiritual clarity, and mistakenly giving my Martha more dominance, I found myself in a household gripped in disorder.
When God gave me my desire to soap, it was initially to calm my inner storm and find His still small voice. The peace I found allowed me to see that balance was not only ideal, but required.
Your personal balance may be tilted proportionately differently than mine. But taking time to be alone will make it easier to strike your own balance.

Snow with a Chance of Wonder
He didn't care about the odds. He didn't care that it might not be. He cared about what COULD be. It was going to snow and it was going to be awesome!
