Hi! My name is Johanna Spaulding and I am a youth minister’s wife and a stay-at-home-mom. I live a crazy life but a very blessed one also! I have three children, Katherine, 5, Annabelle, 4, and Noah, 2. I love serving at church alongside my husband as his helpmate. I love working with the youth of our church family, especially the girls. I also snuggle, cook, clean, wipe away tears, fix boo boos, play with my kids, organize, chauffeur, and love on my family. I hope to stay connected to other moms and connect with new ones through my blog about life, being in a ministry family, motherhood, homemaking and everything in between 
Love your blog. Lots of great ideas here! And what a special treat to see another Johanna. We share the same name.

I love getting to meet all the Johannas through my blog

Wow Just found your blog and found it extremely interesting. I too am a stay at home mom…. One happy one at that! I have 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls… And blessed with 2 grandchildren. I home school our 11 year old because public schools would not understand acceptance of ADHD. And your page so far just from the few things I have seen is helping me do a few things with him. AWESOME. Thanks so much for giving. We send roses. Visit my Blog to understand that. It is a treasure in itself.

It’s a crazy but amazing life isn’t it?
some days more crazy and some days more amazing but always both. Thank you for the compliment, I’m enjoying blogging.
I like the way you live in the now. I’m not particularly religious but I see how you how you enjoy every moment with sensitivity and that to me is a very great faith.
Thank you for the kind words
Hi Joanna, I love your Time Out Bottles but I have a question. In the very beginning, you mention “3/4″…but not what it is. I soooo want to make these for my 3 yr old grandaughter but not sure what you are referring to.
3/4 of the way full of water. I filled the bottle 3/4 of the way full of water
hope that helps!
For your time out bottles could you please send me specific measurements to make these in the smart water bottle. I am so not good with guessing and would love to make a few of these for my kids and nieces.
Thanks
I don’t have specific measurements since each bottle I just add and subtract based on how long I want it to take to settle. Some of my commenters have posted some measurements they have used if you scroll down through the comments though.
Enjoyed reading ur blog. Lovely ideas . Keep writing
