This is another special interview for me!! Our mom for this week is Lori Pereira who just happens to be my sister-in-law (our husbands are brothers!). She currently lives in beautiful Naples, FL, and stays very busy as a pastor's wife, mom to Lily (6) and Lucas (3), and as a Sales Director for Mary Kay Cosmetics.
Tickle time, date night (aka pizza picnic on the living room floor and a movie), and Bible stories before bed
*What are your personal hobbies?
Working my business - sounds crazy, but that's what I have time for right now, and it's leading me to hobbies I would love to have - traveling!!
*What have you found to be the most rewarding aspect of mothering?
Seeing my kids LOVE going to church and listening to Lily trust Christ as her Savior. Also, listening to both kids pray that God would help them make "right" choices tomorrow!
*What have you found to be the most challenging aspect of mothering?
Time management, not sweating the small stuff, being consistent in discipline
*What advice would you like to share with other moms?
Dishes will always be there - your kids will never be this age again.
Do things that truly make you happy so that you have an outlet for you as "YOU" not just you as "mom".
You are not the end all for your child - allow kids to experience things that they will thrive in that you are not right there beside them - they need it AND you need it.
*How do you find time to cultivate your own personal relationship with the Lord?
It's a morning thing for me, and I had to come to the understanding that my time with God comes in all different ways - singing, reading Scripture, devotional books/studies, prayer, and they don't have to be done at one time - my time with God should be ALL day - remember it's a relationship not a 1 hour session.
*Is there anything else about yourself that you would like to share?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE investing in other women - and what I went to school for is not what I'm doing now, so let God use all your skills in any kind of way He deems best!
What great thoughts, Lori!! Thank you so much! Take a couple minutes to check out Lori's website, here. She has some great things (especially for your summer skin!).

Awesome interview, amazing sister in Christ. The dishes can wait...Amen
Great to meet you, Lori! You sound like a wonderful person, mom, and sister-in-law! :D
I love my mornings with the Lord, too. Precious moments where I can meet up and discuss a book with Him... cast my cares... hand over my worries... and just be with Him... singing and talking about Him.
Great interview!!!
So glad to see the featured Mom this week- I am pretty sure we went to college together @ PCC~ good to see her again~and see how the Lord has worked in her life.
