Hi, friend!

I have a really fun BONUS episode for you today! In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes look at what the Lord is teaching me about content in the season that I’m in. As Christian mamas that want our lives to be focused on Christ and glorifying Him, we all want to be more content in our day to day lives and find joy in everything we’ve been given. But, I don’t know about you, but that can be a LOT easier said than done.

I’m sharing some vulnerable stories on how I’ve navigated the majority of my life in this area, what I wish I learned earlier, and what it looks like to be content as a stay at home mom who has big dreams and goals. The Lord has taught me some surprising lessons in my life recently about contentment and finding joy in the season that we’re currently in, instead of just looking ahead to the next constantly.

I want to share some of these lessons as I’m learning them just like I would sitting down with a friend catching up on what the Lord is doing in our lives so that is the feel of this episode. It’s a raw and real kind of episode and I’m praying it is an encouragement to you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

In today’s episode, we’re going to get into the nitty gritty of independent play for kids. We all want more time to get things done around the house, maybe you’re in a season that you need to sneak in a few minutes of work when your toddlers are still awake, or maybe you just want to drink your coffee and read your Bible in peace for a few minutes.

Independent play is something that is talked about a lot and I feel like pretty much ALL moms want their kids to have this skill, especially in today’s society of constant distraction and screens and overstimulation. I’m going to teach you 3 practical habit shifts that you can start applying today to help your kids have longer stretches of independent play time daily. This is going to be a juicy one, friends, let’s get into it! I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you my 4 step system that helps me get more done as a busy mom trying to manage a lot of different areas of life (my kids, marriage, homesteading and gardening in full swing this time of year, my business, being involved in community, etc.). This system that I use daily to prioritize what needs to get done each day and then actually DO IT has vastly improved my productivity, helped manage my expectations for each day AND how much I’m able to practically accomplish each day.

Probably the top area we all feel like we’re lacking in as moms, especially moms of littles that require a lot of daily care and attention, is time. The hard truth is we all have the same amount of time in a day. It’s up to us how we prioritize and spend that time. And this 4 step system I’m going to share with you today for planning my days and prioritizing what needs to be done each day literally saves me 2 hours PER DAY. That’s 14 hours A WEEK, friends. That’s a part time job. This is life changing. Make sure you have something to take notes on, a pencil and pen or the notes app of your phone because you’re going to want to take notes to start implementing this asap. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

Are you struggling to balance growing a business (or dreaming of starting one!) in the mom cracks of your day? Do you feel FRUSTRATED for never having as much time as you’d like in this season so it feels like you have to pick and choose between being a good mom or being a good business owner?

We GET IT. In today’s episode, this is the second half of my interview with Jordan Jones and we are talking all about balancing work and motherhood. How to fit work time into the very limited time you have as a mom, how to figure out what your top priorities are in business, and even some honest truths on what we are laying down in business for the sake of balance.

We’re also chatting about simplifying daily rhythms and systems in our personal life to help us actually achieve our goals in the business side of our life as well. And some vulnerable stories on over-committing, surrendering our businesses to the Lord, and choosing how we show up and fill our days in this season.

There is so much practical encouragement and tips from 2 moms growing businesses in the cracks of our day, while also balancing full time SAHM life. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

Do you REALLY want to be reading your Bible every day but find yourself in a season where honestly, you’re just not? This episode is for you. If you’re a new mom, seasoned mom, mom of many, or mom of one, you probably can resonate that it is hard to find your balance prioritizing your faith, marriage, kids, work, home, all the major areas of your life and sometimes, you find yourself in a season where your biggest priority simply isn’t being reflected in your daily habits.

In today’s episode, we are diving into all things quiet time routines with my friend Jordan Jones from the Work and Worship podcast. How to find a quiet time routine that works for you in the season you’re in, how to finally be consistent with it, and how to prioritize your relationship with the Lord even in this season of motherhood with little kids, little sleep, and maybe a little less patience when your quiet time (or maybe not so quiet time) doesn’t go as seamlessly as your quiet time routine prior to kids.

We are also chatting about how Jordan and her husband started Daily Kairos and the journey the Lord led them on to creating the prayer journal that has had such an impact on the prayer life of so many!

I know you guys are going to get so much wisdom, encouragement, and practical tips for prioritizing your relationship with the Lord as a busy mom and finding a quiet time routine that you can actually stick to. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

In today’s episode, I’m walking you through my exact current morning routine with 3 kids 4 and under. How I’m starting the morning solo, how I WISH I was starting my morning (spoiler alert: I’ve totally slacked on a core must have rhythm in my days recently and we’re going to chat about why + how to fix it), and the general framework that the kids and I use to structure our mornings at home to make sure the things that need to get done are getting done and we’re still building in that intentional time for connection and quality time together.

If mornings feel a liiiittle chaotic in your house right now, this is the episode for you. I’ve been there when you have multiple little ones and they all need a LOT from you in this stage so mornings feel pretty much the LAST thing from restful. It feels like you’re waking up and just jumping from one thing to the next until you finally get them in bed for nap time in the afternoon.

You know you WANT to have some of that slow, intentional time with your kiddos to read to them, maybe play with them for a few minutes, go on a walk, but it just feels like the morning goes by in a blur of changing diapers, feeding babies, giving snacks, cleaning up toys, and suddenly it’s lunchtime and you don’t even know where the time went!

If you’ve ever wanted to just be a fly on the wall in how other SAHM’s structure their day, this is the episode for you! This framework will give you a peek into the actual routines and systems that are working for our mornings currently and I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

In part 2 of today’s conversation, Kristin Wall is sharing some of her experiences on dealing with trauma in motherhood and how that has shaped some of her motherhood journey and their family as a whole. How it has bonded them in a very surprising way, what she would do differently, and even what she now sees in a different lens looking back at what she walked through.

We are also chatting about how to find a Titus 2 mentor, a woman who is a few steps ahead of you in the motherhood journey to help support and share wisdom with you in a life-giving relationship. How important this is, what older women are missing about this calling, and how to actually make the first steps towards a relationship like this. I know so many of us desire older women sharing their wisdom and experiences with us, but we have no idea where to even find these women or how to even start the conversation if we do! This episode will give you some practical places to start that I know will be so helpful. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!

Hi, friend!

Have you ever felt like you’re just doing the same things in motherhood (potty training toddlers, change the baby’s diaper, feed the kids, nurse the baby, put everyone down for a nap, give them a snack, pick up toys, and repeat) day after day on repeat?

Motherhood is a HARD job and it can often feel like we’re getting lost as moms, especially in the trenches of the little years with toddlers and babies, in just doing the same thing day after day and wondering if anyone even notices.

I have such a treat for you today and I’m so excited to introduce you to a sweet friend of mine who is a few steps ahead of me in motherhood and has so much wisdom to offer for young moms!

In today’s conversation, Kristin Wall is sharing so much encouragement for the moms in the trenches with littles, how to enjoy the mundane, everyday moments, setting aside time to rest and connect as a family as well as boundaries to protect that time. We are talking about some of those smaller habits and rhythms that truly set the stage to one day experience true friendship and doing life together with your kids in their adult years (which may feel far away right now, but I know motherhood is such a long game and this was such inspiration to model that even now).

How to pour into the God-given gifts in your children and encouragement when we can’t see the fruit of the seeds we’re planting until way down the road, I know you are going to take away so much from this conversation with Kristin. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hugs!
