032 | My 3 Step Process to Create Sustainable Rhythms and Routines for Your Home

One of the best parts about being a stay at home mom is having the flexibility and freedom to make your own schedule! This week’s episode is all about why I love rhythms and routines more than rigid schedules, how to create your own daily rhythms, and learning to pivot and try new things when you feel something isn’t quite working anymore.

030 | The One Thing You Need to Know About Finding Purpose as a Stay at Home Mom

One of the most common reasons I hear people say why they could never stay home with their kids is “I just feel like I don't have a purpose outside of being a mom anymore” and, “I want to have a purpose outside of motherhood.”
 
I want to debunk that myth and encourage you if you’re feeling this way or you’ve found yourself saying something similar.
 
Today I want to share with you the one thing you need to know about finding purpose as a stay at home mom.

029 | 3 simple ways to connect with your kids and invite more joy into your home

I don’t know about you, but the older my kids get the more I find myself feeling like I hardly even look them in the eyes some days. They are busy toddlers moving from one thing to another at a million miles an hour and I get caught up wrestling babies and chores and to do lists… it’s no wonder I feel like I miss them even when they’re right next to me all day.
 
It’s because we’re lacking true connection.
 
We are coexisting with our kids instead of connecting with them.
 
So on the podcast today I am sharing 3 easy ways to connect and have fun with your kids again and, I promise, they take little to no extra effort on your part! We are all about minimum effort, maximum results around here.

Last week’s episode: 5 scriptures to memorize if you’re feeling weary

027 | 5 scriptures to memorize if you’re feeling overwhelmed + a candid prayer over you as we enter the year ahead

To end the year out I wanted to share with you 5 scriptures that have carried me through some of the hardest, most overwhelmed days I've had as a mom. This calling of motherhood isn't easy, but scripture is riddled with verses that we can turn to when it feels too much. 
I'd recommend writing these down and studying/memorizing them. I love the Enduring Word app for commentary!

024 | Motherhood, Mom Boss Culture, and Raising Littles with Ashley Setterlind

Join me this week as I talk with my friend Ashley Setterlind on motherhood, navigating this season of raising babies at home, “mom boss” culture, and how to honor and remember the Godly fathers who are doing this parenthood thing alongside us.
 
Ashley’s new e-book, Don’t Forget Dad, is out now! It is a 14-Day Journey to Honoring Your Children’s Father based on Ephesians 6:10-18. This resource will teach you how to 1) define the battle, 2) dress in the armor of God, and 3) develop a habit of prayer that intercedes on behalf of your child(ren)’s father, regardless of your relationship with him.
