Sleep during the newborn/postpartum season is a hot topic! We are desperate for rest, yet it seems to elude us in that season. There are many methods, tips, and ideas to try. We ask- should we co-sleep? try the cry-it-out method? should a 6 week baby really sleep 8 hours at a time? how often do they really need to eat? So many questions!

In this episode, I don't have magic advice that will transform your nights, but I do have some practial advice as a mama of five. Some tips are to help with baby, but most tips are to help mama!

Every person on this earth has a sphere of influence. God has designed our lives to impact the lives of others. We have a responsibility to steward this influence well. Jesus is our perfect example. He called the disciples to be "with him". It is this withness that allows us to steward our influence well. 

We discuss how this truth impacts the Titus 2 model of discipleship and what it should practically look like in the life of a believer.

The more I read and research, the more I realize how important it is for children and adults to be out in nature! This aspect of life has become so important to us that we are seeking to make outdoor time a part of our family culture. That effort has led us to camping together! While it is so good to get away from everyday responsibilities and tech and get immersed in nature, it's not aways easy to tent camp with five little children! 

On this episode, I share tips that have helped us fall in love with camping adventures!
