- On this week's episode of Motherhood Mindset, I'm interviewing Amy Carney, author of Parent on Purpose and 100 Questions for Moms, to discuss Ways to Enjoy Traditions that Matter to Your Family, minus the hurriedness of trying to Be All & Do it All.
You're just one person. Slow down and live out these precious days on purpose.
If we are lucky, Amy reminds us that we have only 18 seasons with our kids. Would you rather focus on image, perfection, keeping up with the Jonses, or customizing your holiday season to focus on what matters most to your family?
Give yourself grace to be human. There are some seasons where you can add more traditons and items to the list, and other seasons, for example, when you're having a baby, adopting a child, starting a job, or going back to school; those seasons need a little more attention and something has to give.
Amy offers 3 actionable steps to determine what matters most to your family; and how to live a more intentional holiday season, to enjoy the goodness sitting right before you.
God is your anchor in the midst of the storm. Don't be afraid, for the Lord will go before you and will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Deut 31: 6-8
