Snack time turned into a full-blown meltdown when my little one discovered a devastating truth: there were no horses in his bowl of animal crackers. 🐴😭

In this episode of What Makes My Kid Cry Today, we’ll explore how this tiny moment speaks to a much bigger truth about our own hearts. Just like my son, we often fixate on what’s missing instead of seeing the good right in front of us.

Join me as I share the hilarious (and slightly dramatic) story of The Great Animal Cracker Crisis and how it reminded me of 1 Timothy 6:6 — “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Together, we’ll discover how to find contentment and trust God’s plan, even when life doesn’t give us the “horses” we were hoping for.

Teaching kids to share isn’t easy — especially when you’re an only child raising five energetic boys! In this episode of What Makes My Kid Cry Today, Lizzie opens up about the chaos, laughter, and lessons learned while navigating toy battles, snack disputes, and the everyday struggles of raising siblings who all want the same thing at the same time.

From living room Nerf wars to couch “territory” disputes, Lizzie shares her journey of learning to teach sharing — a skill she never had to master herself as a child. With a mix of funny stories, practical tips, and a reminder of God’s grace, this episode will encourage you to see sibling squabbles as meaningful teaching moments rather than just noise.

Whether you’re raising one child or many, this episode will help you find patience, perspective, and maybe even a little joy in the mess of parenthood.

In our busy lives, it’s easy to see mealtime as just another task to check off our list — planning, cooking, cleaning, repeat. But what if we slowed down and began to see our tables as a place where God’s presence meets our everyday routines?

In this episode, we’ll explore how even the simplest meals can become reminders of God’s abundant goodness. From peanut butter sandwiches hastily packed for school lunches to cozy family dinners shared at the end of a long day, each bite can point us to gratitude when we pause to savor His provision.

We’ll dive into scripture to reflect on the biblical imagery of “milk and honey,” a picture of God’s promises and His faithfulness to provide. I’ll share some personal stories from my own kitchen table and offer practical ways to turn ordinary meals into meaningful moments of connection and joy.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just trying to get through another busy weeknight, this episode will encourage you to see your kitchen and your dining table as sacred spaces — places where God is already at work. Join me as we discover how everyday food can reflect the sweetness of His promises and help us experience our very own milk and honey moments.

Kids never seem to run out of energy — but most days, it feels like they’re draining every ounce of mine. 😂 In this episode, I share a funny moment from a 2019 science lesson, the grocery store thought we’ve all had about “bottling up that energy,” and the reminder God gave me about where true strength really comes from.

Isaiah 40:29 says, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” That verse hits home for parents running on fumes. Our kids’ energy might feel endless, but ours isn’t — and that’s okay. Because the One who made us never runs out, and He’s ready to renew us when we’re empty.

💛 Join me for a laugh, a story, and encouragement that your strength doesn’t have to come from you — it comes from Him.

Have you ever tried to rest… but instead of peace, you felt guilty? The laundry is waiting, the dishes are piled up, the inbox is overflowing — and somehow stopping feels wrong.

In this episode, “When Rest Feels Like Resistance,” I share a short devotional reminder that rest isn’t laziness. It’s worship. It’s trust. It’s holy. Choosing to rest is actually resisting the lie that your worth comes from constant doing — and it’s leaning into God’s invitation to simply be.

If you’ve been running on empty and carrying guilt for slowing down, this encouragement is for you. 💛

👉 Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this with a friend who might need the reminder that rest is a gift.

After a two-month trial run, I wasn’t sure if this podcast was worth continuing. I debated quitting. I even deleted my other podcast and changed things on my social media. The numbers didn’t look big, the silence after each upload felt heavy, and I wondered if it was all just a silly experiment.

But then, one simple email changed everything. Someone wrote to me about a series I had shared — and in their words, I realized this podcast does matter. Even if it’s just for one person, it has purpose.

So here I am, starting fresh, giving What Makes My Kid Cry Today another chance. In this welcome back episode, I share the journey of almost giving up, what pulled me back in, and what you can expect as we move forward together.
