I’ve been so sick lately and haven’t been posting much.
Baby Penton number eight is on its way and all-day sickness while still raising a house full is not easy, as I am sure a lot of you, can or have in the past, relate to.
Another bonus for Jenny, is that when I carry boys (we have 4 of them) I have excessive saliva, the kind where your mouth is like a waterfall and spitting becomes your new bad habit. If I have any complaints about pregnancy, it’s the spitting. My last boy had me spitting all the way through labor!
And so it looks like I’m carrying another boy!
If any of you have had this in pregnancy and have a cure…tell me please!
I am excited for the upcoming year…2013!
So much to plan for, so many more life goals to reach and want to inspire you to do the same.
This New Years, do not just write out on a slip of paper your New Year’s resolutions; script big dreams; dreams that are bigger than you, the kind of dreams that only God can help you achieve!
Script your personal and family goals, and plan and pray for God to stretch you. Pray for God to complicate your life and shake you up to get ready for an amazing year. Allow God to do big things in your life this year and learn to depend on Him completely.
Self-reliance has been the biggest and hardest things for me to release to God and I am posting my biggest miracle from God soon and how He showed me how to not only pray, but pray through. So stay tuned.
Depend on God for all of your plans. Circle these new big dreams and plans in prayer and make 2013 the year when you allow God to grant you favor, bless you, and give your God-given plans from the heart, life.
Oh this is going to be a wonderful year friends! There will more giveaways, more inspiration to become mamas that are organized with life goals, more family meals made from scratch over at my Planner Perfect Meals blog, baby talk, homeschooling, unschooling, and much, much, more!
Here’s to a New Year, friends! 2013, here we come!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I have just recently (in the last 3 days) found your blog, and I LOVE it!! I am a SAHM of 16 month old boy/girl twins. I absolutely love being a Mommy…staying at home with them has been the biggest blessing, however, I desperately need to become a morning person, and an organized person. My time management skills are lacking!! My 2013 New Year's Goal is to finally get this under control. I also love the fact that you homeschool. I plan to as well! I know that God led me to your blog!! Thanks for the encouragement and for being an inspiration!! Love from NC!!!

Multi-tasking Mama says
Oh Jenny, what lovely news … the pregnancy that is, not the excessive saliva … 😉 I had never heard of it and was just reading about it. Sounds quite a nuisance. Someone did say cod liver oil helped them … but yuk! Also someone else said eating small cubes of cucumber and another small bits of carrot or celery. Blessings on the wee bairn xxxx
Jenny Penton says
Thank you multi tasking Mama! I might try the fish oil in capsule form. Maybe that will help! Ill keep il you updated!

Jenny, I wrote asking (if I may) how old you are…and realize that it's a pretty delicate question and you may not want to post that. I totally understand. Instead, if you like, you could email me: mandjcrew@gmail.com
If you're not comfortable sharing that info, no worries. I have a 21 year old daughter and noticed that yours is 19 or 20, which is why I asked. : ) Happy New Year!
Jenny Penton says
Hi Jessa…I don't mind sharing at all. I'm 40 and yes, my oldest is 19. :)))) I love babies and a large family, and love having this one in my 40's.
Happy New Year and keep me posted if you do decide to get pregnant! Us mamas need support!
Jessa. says
Congratulations! I would love to know (and I realize it's rude to ask) how old you are…simply because I'm just into my 40's and have been baby hungry for a couple of years but my husband feels we're getting too old. : )
