It's Christmastime, and we have a little podcast gift for you! It's a seasonal biblical blessing of sorts. As you listen along, may these words sink down deep, finding a welcome home–covering and comforting any stressed-out, rushed, overwhelmed or tense places within your heart. 

So grab a cup of something warm and soothing, and breathe deeply as these words remind us of the beautiful roots of this glorious season. Merry Christmas!

Well hello there, friends! Today we’re continuing our conversation about all our favorite mom things ... Last time, we touched on favorite things to read and listen to, so if you haven’t yet listened to Episode 63, we encourage you to do that!

Today we'll cover more of our favorites from ways to relax, simple family activities, ways to keep organized and more! 

Welcome back to another new episode, friends! This month we’re talking about our favorite things from books to food to music and more … We love it when our friends share their favorite things, so we’re doing you the favor of maybe introducing you to some of your future favorites! 

This is Part 1, and next month we'll be back with Part 2 with more of our favorites. Listen in! 

Well hello there, friends. Today we’re talking about our kids and worry. 

Often this time of year is filled with firsts:  First day of kindergarten. Middle school. High school. College. Maybe your child is starting a new sport, playing a new instrument, or trying out a new activity. New things can be scary, right? Or maybe there are some much deeper issues like mental health and anxiety... and we're going to talk about some of those things too.

All these can cause sleepless nights, or feelings of trepidation — for both you AND your child. So let’s talk about it.

We are delighted you’ve chosen to join us for this special episode of All the Mom Things where we're talking about some practical and fun ways to simplify our summer mindsets. Each year, we love to send you off for the summer with something encouraging and that’s a blessing of sorts. So let’s get to it!

Today we’re talking about all those things we wish we knew before our teens graduated high school! We'll talk about the things we did do and the things we wish we would have or could have done. Join us this month for the good, the hard, and everything in-between. 

We're delighted you’ve chosen to join us for this special episode of All the Mom Things where we answer YOUR questions! 

Today we’re talking about all those things that make us uniquely, well, us! Those gifts and talents and bents that make up our own specialized versions of ourselves. Because we were never meant to be cookie-cutter versions of each other, especially in our mom-life. God has made each one of us with our own unique quirks and talents that make us one-of-a-kind. Yes, we’re made in His image, and we reflect our Creator, but we are also completely customized, so to speak. We think you'll enjoy and gain a lot from this month's conversation! 

Some reflection questions we asked in this episode:

• Who are you really, and how can you bring her out with the way you're living? 

• What would make being a mom more enjoyable or utilize what you’re good at?

• What depletes you? 

• What fills you up?

• What’s your “special sauce” ... what do you bring to motherhood that’s so uniquely YOU?

• What compliments have others given you about who you are or your mothering?

Hi again, friend … We’re so happy you’re back for another episode of All the Mom Things. We're delighted you’re listening in to today’s conversation about emotional health as a mom. 

We release new episodes on the first Wednesday of each month of the year, minus the summer months when we take a break from recording.

Let’s get this conversation going!

In this episode, we’re talking about things our mom hearts need to hear. Because let’s be honest, mothering is hard, right? Like we say in our book, Shiny Things, mothering is “hard and holy work.” So with that said, we think we can all agree that we need lots of encouragement as moms. So today we’re going to chat through things our hearts need to hear. Listen in!
