No Excuse for Laziness!

This week I've experimented with washing my laundry by hand, and you know what, it was a lot of hard work! My muscles in my arms are sore, but are on their way to becoming even more defined. My core muscles are taking a hit too and it feels great! 

Also, while I was hoeing the garden, I noticed how my entire body was getting a work-out! Have you ever really got down and scrubbed your floor, or kneaded bread with gusto? Then you know what I'm talking about!

There really is no need for this whole "work-out" craze among mothers, because if you work hard enough and eat right, there really is no need! I'm not saying that it's bad to work out, but it is easy to become sucked into the "me-me-me" culture.

So, mothers everywhere, get off your behinds! Go do something, instead of "pinning" it. Take a look at your house. Are your kids doing all of the work? Unless you are bedridden, there is absolutely no reason you shouldn't be in shape simply by doing the necessary house work.

Technology is fantastic (I'm blogging, aren't I? lol) but your housework becomes more meaningful when you can throw yourself into it physically. Things that take the most time are worth the most.

Put down that iPad, gather your children, and get to work! No more selfies of your beach-ready body! Is your home suffering because of your selfishness? The more you focus on yourself, the more your children will suffer.

The state of your home reflects your inner being. It's not too late to turn things around. I'm speaking to the THOUSANDS of mothers who need to get back to what's really important.

May Yah bless you and keep you, diligent mothers. You can have a healthy and pleasing body not by focusing on yourself and neglecting your family, but by doing a honest day's work. And never work alone! Always have your children close to your side.
