I’m still plodding along with the 30 Day Mom Challenge, despite my lack of posts on the subject. So far, it has been an incredible experience and as I suspected it’s like hitting a reset button on being a mom. I’ve missed some challenges along the way, like Challenge #12 for instance, Pray for wisdom …
Keeping up with the challenges on the 30 Day Mom Challenge haven’t really been that hard. Remembering to write about it has been. D’oh! Challenge – Leave a Sweet Note for Them Check. Actually found old wedding stationary and wrote them a note on that. Told them how blessed I was to have them, how …

Today’s Challenge – Hug your child three times today So, today’s challenge, while immensely easy and enjoyable, was also a bit of a wake up call.
