Happy Wednesday!!!!!  I missed connecting with y’all last week. I was “out of the office” and by Out I mean at my house with seven kids, seven and under. Six of them being boys. My brother and sis in law and their crew came to visit from out of state. It was such a treat to have them here and have them meet baby Zeke! I also have a new nephew that I hadn’t met yet – so it was a crazy, beautiful and loud time. But honestly there I wouldn’t have had it any other way!!! I miss them so so much already. I’ll be sharing some pics of our time together, mostly on Instagram, if we aren’t connected their yet would love to have you, you can find me HERE at @claritywithcharity.READ MORE

Happy Monday Friends!

 

Sorry things have been quiet around here, I wasn’t feeling too great last week.

For those that don’t know I am a Texas transplant from the great state of Washington.  Although I am not a huge sports fan I was so excited to watch the Seahawks win their first Super Bowl.

I think Rene wasn’t sure what happened to his typically sports apathetic wife because all last week I kept saying, “I am soooo excited for the Super Bowl!”READ MORE

Turn your Christmas cards, Save the Dates, Wedding Announcements and Birth Announcements into a prayer wheel. Use this to help you remember to pray for others and teach your kids how to pray for others. This easy, DIY craft will take 10 minutes but have an eternal impact on your family and friendsIf you’re like me one of the best parts of Christmas is giving and receiving Christmas cards.  Every day during December I look forward to checking the mailbox because it is the only time of year that I know  instead of finding a stack of bills I will be greeted with the smiling faces of family and friends I love!

I put all my photo Christmas cards on our fridge, but every December I feel horrible when I clear the fridge to make way for the new batch of Christmas cards and have to throw away all those precious Christmas cards, Save the Dates and Birth Announcements I have collected over the past year.

A few years ago a wonderful family shared with me a brilliant idea!

My 5 day detox

girl windowA couple weeks ago I was listening to a sermon about fasting.  I don’t like sermons about fasting because usually I feel like I need to fast afterwards.

And I don’t like to fast.

This sermon, just like all the others began that divine pulling in my secret place –  you know that pulling…the  I need to do this pulling, but I really don’t want too…

I knew I needed to fast and I was pretty sure what I needed to fast from…
