Londa Montgomery is a sweet friend of mine and I was so excited to interview her for this week's Moms Like Me post! She used to be my neighbor in Florida when I was in junior high and high school. She now lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, and is the mom to three wonderful boys, ages 15 (almost), 13, and 10, and one beautiful daughter age 7.
*What are your favorite activities with your children?
Reading (although only Adriana really wants to be read to now!) also going to the park and picnics at the river
*What are YOUR personal hobbies?
Writing (wrote a novel last year just for fun, piano, reading, decorating, shopping with friends/mom/sisters, antiquing/flea markets. I love a good bargain!
*What have you found to be the most rewarding aspect of mothering?
Just the fellowship with kids, what they teach me every day, and watching them grow and mature.
*What have you found to be the most challenging aspect of mothering?
Remembering that the fruit of labors sometimes is late, but it will come eventually. Juggling work and kids' routines is another challenge. Realizing it might not all get done and being okay with that!
*What advice would you like to share with other moms?
Focus more on the spirit of your home more than the "workings" of it. In other words, not being constantly stressed about what needs doing, but learning how to get the children involved in daily procedures, so that they remember that mom was pleasant, fun, and always there for them. Don't be ruled by the circumstances of the day....stay constant in the Lord, and He will allow you to create a stable environment for your family.
*How do you find time to cultivate your own personal relationship with the Lord?
I get up at 5:15 so that I can have a good 45 minutes alone in the morning before my kids have to get up. I've learned that if I don't crave out that time for myself, it won't happen!
*Is there anything else about yourself that you would like to share?
Just that I love being a mom, and fell truly blessed to have a loving husband who has shared this journey!
Londa has been such a blessing in my life, and I hope this was an encouragement to you! I sure am enjoying all the wisdom that our moms have shared so far!! Don't forget to stop by next week to meet another mom who may have some things in common with YOU!!
