Discover love lists — my simplest, most mom-friendly way to capture sweet family memories, daily joys, and moments of self-reflection without the pressure of traditional journaling. This gentle practice is perfect for busy moms, ADHD moms, Type B moms, and anyone craving more connection in the middle of family life.

In this episode of the EncourageMoment podcast, I share how love lists can soften hard moments with kids or partners, preserve precious memories, and help you feel more connected to yourself. You do not need a fancy journal — your phone notes app, a voice memo, or even a cheap notebook works perfectly.

Love lists are spontaneous, low-pressure, and ADHD-friendly. You can jot down cute toddler sayings, sweet conversations with older kids, funny or meaningful partner moments, or even your own daily wins. This is not daily homework. It is a quick heart connection for real life.
