    Hello Tacklers!
    It is Lisa from Confessions of an Apron Queen here today. I am your new head tackler here at 5 Minutes for Mom and I am excited for my first day on the job…
    There is a reason I wear an apron. It’s because I’m a messy cook. And it tends to get even messier [...]

    Hello my dears!
    I hope you are all doing well on this wonderful Tuesday.
    Remember a couple weeks ago I shared the tackle where I put my daughter’s crib up in my scrap room / office… well this is kinda the other half of that tackle…
    I still had her bassinet in our bedroom even though I “moved” [...]

    Okay Ladies!
    Here we are, together again… I actually had a great time visiting a lot of your blogs last week to personally thank you for all the prayers and support through my struggles.

    Oh Ladies! How I have missed you!
    I don’t even have the words to say thank you… reading the comments last week brought me so much love and joy (and tears)… I pray that God will bless you above and beyond the measure you have blessed me. Thank you all for your prayers - [...]

    Hello ladies, I’m still here tackling my depression… or trying to at least.
    I’m so bad right now that I noticed that wonderful schedule I shared with you 5 weeks ago was actually making my depression worse because I was not getting things done… and to see that both on paper and in person was [...]

    Well ladies, I am doing a bit better this week emotionally… I got to talk with my pastor’s wife on Sunday which helped a lot because she told me she loved me - it seems that was really all I needed to hear. :o) She told me a lot of other things that [...]

    This week my tackle is much more felt than seen! I am totally fighting with my depression! I know I am stronger than the past couple times I have fought with it because I am still treading above water, but it’s totally kicking my butt here!!!
    I have always struggled with the loss of [...]

    My Tackle this week does not have before and after photos - it is also very emotional for me so please forgive if it sounds like a giant complaint (I do not mean it that way). My house was a blessing from the Lord so many years ago and I am still thankful to [...]

    Hi-ya Ladies! Yes, it’s that time again… are you excited to see what I tackled? It’s no big feat as far as physical work goes but it was a tackle of my laziness!

    Hello Ladies It’s nice to see you again…
    This week I would like to share with you something that I hope will break some HUGE strongholds down in my life! You see I struggle BIG TIME with laziness, depression, anger, anxiety and sadly enough disobedience and rebellion to God!

    This week it seems I have been tackling a little bit of everything! I haven’t been feeling well, my body hurts from taking up Pilates, I’ve been impatient, angry, depressed, working on submission and rebellion… I tackled laundry, dishes, toys, a date with my husband (yes that’s a tackle too)… but I will show [...]

    Okay ladies, I know for a lot of you this one is going to be hard since it a was a holiday weekend… but I think that gives us all the more reason to try and tackle something so we (if you’re anything like me) don’t get depressed from being lazy with the excuse of [...]

    I have a confession… yes, the pile of clean laundry you are about to see has been there - off and on - for about 4 weeks!!!
    My laundry goes straight to this couch so I can fold it and get it put away, but this time it kept getting “hidden” on the couch in my [...]
