Emotionally Focused Therapy- Creating Intimacy in Marriage

June 13, 2016 By Emily Smith 7 Comments

I’ve talked a little bit before about how going to counseling was a huge part of why my marriage has survived and thrived. The counselor that we have seen uses a method called emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This method focuses on identifying our attachment patterns that were formed in childhood, understanding what is healthy and/or…

Talking About Pornography With Your Loved Ones

May 27, 2016 By Emily Smith 4 Comments

Let’s face it, the birds and bees sex talk is hard enough. Talking about pornography is even harder. The sad fact is, however, that it is absolutely necessary. In our day and age pornographic images and movies are easily accessible online and children are being exposed to them at a ridiculously young age. It is…

Sunday Morning Chaos

April 6, 2016 By Emily Smith 2 Comments

Whoever wrote the song “Easy Like Sunday Morning” clearly did NOT have small children who needed to get ready for church. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but when you have six small children who don’t usually get up until the sun does around 7:30 and service at 9:00 it is anything but!…

My Alter Ego; Super Womb-an!

March 24, 2016 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

I can’t begin to count the number of times that people have told me I must be super mom. Having seven kids with six of them being eight and under, AND another on the way is inconceivable for most. All of these comments led me to have a TON of fun spending an afternoon creating my…

Staying Together for the Kids

February 12, 2016 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

Today friend of mine posted a meme on Facebook with the simple caption “agree or disagree?” I don’t think it’s so simple. Negative energy will affect your kids whether you are together or separated. If you divorce and continue to fight with, belittle, and act negatively towards your ex what have your children gained? Nothing….

December 4, 2015 By Emily Smith 1 Comment

Strong. Powerful. Leader. Brave. Confident. Ambitious. Assertive. Knowledgeable. Persistent. When you read these words what type of woman comes to mind? Who do you picture? What does she do? How does she live? Where does she work? What does she wear? Something like this perhaps?   Let me tell you a little bit about the…

The Submissive Wife

July 13, 2015 By Emily Smith 5 Comments

I have seen several comments recently about needing to be a submissive wife to be a good Christian. While I do believe in the Bible, the tone of these comments has truly bothered me. They bother me so much because I firmly believe that God intended husband’s and wives to be equal partners in raising up…

April 11, 2015 By Emily Smith Leave a Comment

Mommy guilt galore and advice to just learn how to relax if it’s messy. Well I call shenanigans! Having a clean house is important. Doing what is healthy for you as a mother is important. If our lives revolve around our children to the point of neglecting ourselves and our homes that is not a good thing!
