Postpartum is CRAZY! Here are our second 5 major points about postpartum. We share solidarity, tips and tricks. You are not alone in this postpartum journey! And whether you’re in the thick of it, have a friend who is, or just want to learn more, this episode ifs for you!

Join us on Mugs and Mercy as we discuss practical tips for lenten preparation, especially for families during the lenten season.

In this episode, we share our traditions for preparing for Great and Holy Lent. Lent is a time of repenting as we prepare for Christ's death and glorious resurrection. As wives and mothers with young families, the fasting tradition can be challenging, but as Orthodox Christians, we seek to bring our families into the fullness of the fast and the journey to Pascha.

We talk particularly about our traditions and ideas for fasting, alms giving, and prayer with the whole family. Blessed Lent!
