Everday...Redeemed

Alarm Clock…Redeemed

I know that some people are morning people and some people are night owls and some people…well, it’s best to hang out with them in the middle of the day.  As for me and my husband, I’d say we’re morning people.
Getting out of bed before the toddlers do is quite vital to the sanity and [...]

Packing List…Redeemed

We’re preparing to fly across the country this weekend, with the two littles in tow.  I’ve been making list after list, reminding myself of what I need to remind myself to pack for the long journey.  I find myself stuck between two strong desires:

Beauty Parlor…Redeemed

I’m in need of some beauty parlor time.  But, my roots and split end have to be pretty bad before I’ll haul myself to the salon.  Getting a sitter and taking time away from home are a pain to me, but honestly, the biggest challenge is sitting still in that chair for a few hours [...]

Dishwasher…Redeemed

My husband and I are continually amazed when we walk down the stairs at the end of the evening, blurry-eyed and ready for bed.  There sits before us a very messy kitchen, complete with dirty plates, lots of pots and pans, and all the traces of our consumption from the evening. The full clean [...]

Hourly Wage…Redeemed

In these days of tight finances, I’m looking for ways for our family to make it financially.  As I work around the house throughout the day, I dream up new ways to make ends meet.
Paid by the Hour
I currently work very part time on a per hour basis.  Since I’m paid by the hour, I [...]

64 Crayons…Redeemed

The whole point of the Everyday…Redeemed series is to incorporate Jesus into each piece of our everyday lives.  Today, I want to introduce you to some of the ways I’m trying to do that with my children and invite you to join me.

Redeem Crayons, Really?
Okay, so there’s really no need to redeem crayons.  Coloring is [...]
