Comments on: A Little Real Mom Follow-Up http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/a-little-real-mom-follow-up Encouraging women in homemaking, healthy eating and parenting Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:52:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Bri http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/a-little-real-mom-follow-up/comment-page-1#comment-30698 Bri Fri, 01 Jan 2010 22:41:22 +0000 http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/?p=4677#comment-30698 I just finished Created to be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl and it seriously saved my marriage! I recommend it to all of the Christian wives (and mommies) out there...it has turned our marriage from being on the road to divorce to being INCREDIBLE! With my husband blessing I will share a commend he made to me. After starting the book, I immediately started putting it into practice. He came home from work one day and said, "I never would consider cheating on you, but I do notice other women. Since you started reading this book, I don't even notice anyone else." This melted my heart! This book was convicting and very difficult for me. I grew up in a matriarchal family of very strong women. This book has improved my life and our marriage immensely! I am now letting my husband be the leader he has always desired to be and his faith seems to be stronger now than it has ever been! It is truly amazing!

It's music that is happy, without having a lot of beat. Right now we are listening to Bible Songs for Kids #1. http://www.bibletruthmusic.com/recordings/default.aspx (fourth one down- there are three different ones) All three boys calmed down when we turned it on. And it's verses put to music. Most of the time, verses to music are boring, but these are actually cute and upbeat. OK, something that is helping me at the moment is actually a CD.

I am sure you would also love them especially for Mother of toddlers (although it is applicable for all ages).
