Moms want options when it comes to their children’s education, and for many, homeschooling is the answer. What does it take to homeschool your children?

“It’s summer again!” This phrase usually brings excitement to kids, but for moms?

Serving others is a huge part of being a mother, and of being human. I know for many of you, like me, service and contribution is a top priority, along with family and faith. How can we serve in ways that will truly make a difference in the lives of others? How do we know who needs our help most? And how can we raise our children to want to follow in our footsteps and serve others with a willing heart? In today’s special episode I’m talking with Hayley Smith, founder of Lifting Hands International, a non-profit that helps “get refugees what they need—simple and politics-free.” Hayley will share how she felt compelled to help the millions of families who’ve been displaced because of war and terror, and her story will hopefully inspire you to want to get involved and make a difference—in one way or another—too. Be sure to visit my post about “Making a Difference: Help for the Refugee Crisis & What You Can Do” for links and more ways you can serve today, including how to help resettled refugee families locally, and be sure to visit the Lifting Hands International website for more ways you can get involved. You may also visit these reputable organizations’ websites for more ideas on how to make a difference with the refugee crisis: International Rescue Committee and The Welcome to America Project.

If there’s one thing most moms want, it’s greater peace and calm amidst the storms of motherhood. Mindfulness is the way. Associated with greater physical and mental health, better sleep and relaxation, and an overall calmer, more present state of being, mindfulness can make a huge difference in your, and your family’s, life. In today’s episode, I’m talking with Manuela Mishke-Reeds, author of 8 Keys to Practicing Mindfulness. She’s sharing strategies and methods for making mindfulness a part of your everyday life in ways that are practical and will benefit not only you, but your children and family, too! And for more on mindfulness techniques, check out “Daily Mindfulness: 6 Ways to Put More Being into What You’re Doing.“

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Mother’s intuition” and “women’s intuition,” but do we really believe in it? Even more importantly, do we know how to listen and trust our own intuition? Call it conscience, a gut feeling, the Spirit, or whatever else, the most important questions is “How do we develop our intuition and learn to trust it?” What benefits can it bring into our lives? And how can following our intuition benefit our families, too? My guest, author and intuition coach Gail Harris says learning to trust and follow our intuition becomes a way of life that can lead us closer to the Divine and to the life we were meant to live. We’re discussing how intuition not only prevents us from potential harm, but how it also leads us to potential good, increasing our life purpose and peace, and benefiting our children and families along the way. And in my Simple Solutions segment, I’m talking with Melina Engel, from SimpliSafe, a revolutionary home security system that puts you and your family first at a fraction of the cost. Using your intuition to keep your family safe? Absolutely. And for more on intuition in motherhood, visit my post, “3 Steps to Enhance & Trust Your Intuition.”

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Zion Ponderosa’s Women’s Adventure Retreat, in southern Utah, along with 10 other women of all ages, locations, and personalities. Together, we tried things we’d never done before—from rappelling to zip-lining to a helicopter tour of the awe-inspiring Zion National Park, to simply spending a week with a group of women we’d never met before! I was inspired by this experience, and it got me thinking about adventure and motherhood. How many times do we say “no” to adventure because we’re “too busy,” “have too many responsibilities,” or are just too swamped with “being mom?” Yet, adventure is an important part of becoming the mom, and person, we desire to be—not only benefitting us but our families, too.
