Text us any feedback. </a>In this episode, we explore the significance of hitting the reset button on New Year's resolutions and reevaluating our goals. Opening up about my personal journey, sharing accomplishments like walking 500 miles and reading the entire New Testament, I encourage our listeners to reflect on their own goals and make adjustments as needed, offering practical tips for getting back on track and sharing strategies for a more organized and enjoyable holiday season in 2024.During our conversation, I emphasize the value of reflection, building a community to hold you accountable, and continuing to move towards the goal rather than throwing in the towel.  Small progress is better than NO progress.  Lastly, I revisit the past holiday season with some vulnerability about my mom melt down on Christmas morning and how planning ahead for the holidays will eliminate some of that stress for next year.   500 Mile Tracker - https://www.etsy.com/listing/961409450/500-mile-challenge-500-km-challenge Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/ Giftful App & Website  - https://giftful.com/ JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

4. Why is Momma Crying in the Kitchen - Evaluate to Elevate

Hey friend! I’m Nikki Smith—wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, and host of A Heart That Beats for Home. Over the years, God has used marriage, motherhood, business, and everyday life to stretch me, grow me, humble me, and draw me closer to Him. This space is a reflection of the journey I’m still on—growing, learning, and leaning into much-needed grace. I have a heart to keep investing intentionally in my marriage of 26 years with the man God has given me as a partner and best friend, to walk faithfully toward the season of empty nesting, and to grow deeper in relationship with my adult and soon-to-be adult children. More than anything, I’m passionate about drawing closer to my Heavenly Father—truly knowing Him in a way that is real and active in my everyday life—and reflecting Him in all my relationships, actions, and plans. Each episode is a real, hope-filled conversation about the things that matter most: building strong families, walking faithfully in the gift of marriage, parenting intentionally through every stage, and keeping Christ at the center of it all. Alongside my own story, you’ll hear from amazing guests who share a deep passion for nurturing strong families where Jesus is glorified. Their wisdom, vulnerability, and encouragement will remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. Whether you’re single, newly married, raising little ones, building a business, or walking through a new season, you’re welcome here. This is a space for women who love their families fiercely and want to lead with purpose—honoring God in the roles He has placed us in, faithfully shepherding the souls in our homes, and nurturing an environment that reflects the fruit of the Spirit and a life that glorifies Him. One day at a time, may we become women who cultivate hearts that beat for home. Thanks for being here,Nikki
