Authentic Momma

     What do you do when the frustration gets to be too much?  Have you yelled at teenagers lately?  It doesn't work, does it?  Join me for a discussion where we ask ourselves the real question-Do you trust the living God with your teenagers?  From one frustrated Mom to all the others:

    One crucial predictor of future happiness and success is resiliency.  Can your kids bounce back?  Join me as I talk through actual research and we attempt to see what can help our kids foster their resiliency.  Are you bouncing back in your life as a mom so you can teach your kids?

    Let's go on vacation and loose our minds!:)   Join me discussing practical tips to make vacation a true refreshing your time with your family.  We  want to be adventurers with our family and each age group can be handled differently.  Let's get to tripping!

     I love my minivan!  I never wanted a minivan until we were expecting our second child and then it became a crucial part of our adventure.  Join me on the celebration of my swagger wagon as we realize that parenting can change you, and that's not necessarily a bad thing!

     It's important to nurture your marriage!  Listen in on my conversation with Kathy Devries.  We talk about the priorities in a godly marriage and how to continually give Jesus center stage in your life.

    Its time for Back to School!  Listen to sage advice and help from a group of moms  who provide organizational tips and idea to manage and thrive! Relax Mommas!  We are going to make it!

    Goal of motherhood: To have independent children! Well, that's one of my goals anyways.  Join a fantastic discussion about independence with Dr. Juanita Varian Copley.  (Who also happens to be my mom:)  How can we nurture and encourage independence in our children?

Boundaries-they are hard to create but an awesome stop on a mom's pathway to freedom!  Join me for a discussion on Cloud and Townsend's Book, Boundaries.  You are just a listen away from letting your yes be yes and your no be no.

   Friendship take intentionality and time but it is worth every investment!  Mommas-take time to open yourself up to friends and find treasure.  Join me for a conversation with Connie Peterson, one of my best friends.  Have you been burned by a female friend?  Try again until you are truly friends with women who support and love you!

      My kids are not my everything.  They are so important but I can't hinge my existence upon my kids.  Why is this such a spiritual question?  Listen in to my thoughts about prioritizing your kids over all other things.
