Time passes so quickly, doesn’t it? I often find myself staring at Cara’s beautiful little face, wondering where the time has gone. These first 7 years went by in a flash. And in a blink of an eye, another 7 will have passed. I wonder what Cara will look like? I pray we will still be as close and that my then teenager will feel free to talk to her mom about anything. And 7 years after that my baby will be all grown up and out of the house…
We have 936 weeks between the birth of our child and when they turn eighteen. How are we investing that time?
Scary thought, isn’t it?! 936 Pennies by Eryn Lynum is a reminder that time is fleeting and that we should live each day intentionally.
936 Pennies Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting
When Eryn Lynum was given a jar of 936 pennies (one penny for each week of her son’s life from birth to age 18), it was a tangible reminder of how fast kids grow up. We only have so much time to teach them, to make memories, and to love them while they are at home. Through very personal stories and hard-earned wisdom, Eryn shows us that while we can’t control time, we can slow it down by living each day intentionally.
As you remove one penny from the jar every week, you’ll discover how to prioritize what really matters—things like making your home richer in laughter, teaching family values in everyday moments, and showing God’s love and grace with every opportunity. Your kids will see how simple choices, like putting the cell phone down and going on a family hike, will make all the difference. Together, you will stretch time to its fullest potential.
“For every mom who feels spent, finished, bankrupt by bedtime. Eryn reminds us with humor, honesty, and relatable experience that what you spent in time, patience, energy, memories, and do-overs was worth every penny. Literally.” —Lisa-Jo Baker, Publisher’s Weekly bestselling author of Never Unfriended.

I pray I win this hamper. I really need it.
What an amazing prize to win. I recently found out that I am pregnant again and my daughter is only 13 months old. I really need a hamper like this to give me the inspiration I need. I pray I win.
It’s a scary and sad thought when you realise how quickly the time is going. I actually said to my husband last night that we need to make a change with regards to how our time is spent. Put away the cellphone for starters 😛
