Emphasis
On Moms is focused on giving moms words of encouragement and support. Our goal
is to bring you hope and help for your life as parents, individual women,
and wives.
We
know that your family means everything to you. Yet in our stressed,
busy, overwhelmed world a mom can struggle with low self esteem, finding
time for her marriage relationship, maintaining family values, and just
being a positive parent.
Emphasis
On Moms is here to help you feel good about who you are, while bringing
inspiration and perspective to your heart through our resources, blog,
and parenting tips.
You
put everything you are into caring for your family - now its time to be
lavished with some love, honesty and a reminder that you're not alone.

What
children take from us, they give...we become people who feel more
deeply, question more deeply, hurt more deeply, and love more
deeply. ~ Sonia Taitz, journalist
"An
anxious heart weighs a man down" & Matt. 6:27 "Who of
you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
It's
a proven fact that most of our battles happen in our mind. Our
thoughts direct our paths, and what we dwell on affects our physical
as well as emotional makeup. Worry comes out of fear. Fear comes out
of not being fully aware or secure in the depth, breadth, and
inexhaustible supply of God's love, mercy, and protection.

Trayc Foskett, "I'm just a Mom hoping to help another Mom stay
afloat."

What
Makes You - You? ~ By Dionna Sanchez
I
was thinking this morning while getting ready for my day. (Yes, that
happens.) I was thinking about the time it takes me to get
ready. You see, I have very straight hair. But I like curly
hair. So I spend the time each morning to curly my hair to my
specifications with a curling iron. Some people laugh at me for the time
it takes me to get ready. Some people have opened their eyes in shock
and astonishment and then told me that they get ready in 30 minutes. But
I've decided that that's okay. Because I get lots of compliments on my
hair. Lots. And I love it. It's "me."
I
may have to fuss on my hair a little bit more but it's unique and it sets me
apart from others. It's part of what defines my look.
Stepparents
are very near and dear to my heart. I think being one has got
to be one of the most heart wrenching yet rewarding jobs
today. Because it IS a job - I should know. I became a
stepmom at the age of 23. If you would've asked me when I was
growing up where I saw my life heading, I would've laughed at even
the remotest suggestion or possibility of ever marrying someone who
already had a child. That just wasn't part of the
"dream" ya know? But I wised up quickly! I
learned a lot and God quickly taught me that His grace applies to
EVERYONE.
Today,
I want to encourage and uplift all stepparents out there who have
jumped in to their blended family situation with both of their
feet. I am here to applaud you because our children (and that
is truly what they have become) need us.READ

Media
Influence ~ By Courtney Kirkland
Let's face it.
Whether we like it or not, the media is easily the most
influential aspect of our society. Television, internet,
"Smart Phones" and Social Networking have overwhelmed
our culture and taken the mainstream society by storm. And it's
not looking like it's going anywhere.
With the seemingly never-ending array of technological advances,
it seems that we are destined to live in a culture with screens,
buttons, and 'apps.' READ MORE...
Half Done ~ By Dionna Sanchez
I was listening to a
speaker online this morning and she was talking about how her child
was 10 years old and her time with him was half over. She
meant of course, that her time and job as a mom was half over.
I immediately let out
a gasp and a cry - "NO!", I thought. READ

How
important is RSVP etiquette? It is invaluable & needs to
be practiced in today's society. This not only shows respect
for the hostess, but is of tremendous benefit to her in
adequately planning the amount of food & other aspects. Do
not leave the hostess guessing the number of guests on the day
of the event.
The
media influences our lives in such a powerful way. Now you can use the
media to your own advantage! Use it to open up discussions and topics
with your spouse and/or children to help you mold character, morals, and
values as well as build up your faith as a family.
Are
you getting enough sleep? You'll be more patient with your kids,
spouse, have more energy during the day and won't be tempted to
eat more food or slack off on exercise.
Drink
water. Bring a water bottle for every member of your family. Keep
hydrated throughout the day, even if you do not feel thirsty.
Stick with water or juice, as caffeine & alcohol will
dehydrate your body.
