Parenting is not a clean-cut, simple process for those who like to follow the rules. Family life is messy and unpredictable, but it is the greatest adventure you will ever have. We are Mike and Alicia Hernon, parents of 10 children ranging from 10 to 27 and we would like to invite you into some of t...

Parenting

Parenting isn’t about doing everything perfectly.  It's about showing up over and over again no matter what.     Summary Some may question how a celibate man could have wisdom for husbands and wives, let alone parents.  But in this interview with Fr. Mike Schmitz, host of the Bible in a Year podcast, we think everyone will agree that his insights are awesome! Drawing from his own family experience as well as his role as a spiritual father, Fr. Mike shares with us how to love children who have fallen away from the church, the importance of your marriage to your walk with God, and why you actually don’t need to have the perfect plan for your family. In this conversation we laughed and cried as we reflected on the beauty and difficulties of life in a family (with some special shoutouts to middle children!).  Listen in as we have an honest and inspiring talk with a priest whose ministry has blessed so many.     Key Takeaways   Our family of origin impacts us more than almost anything else in our lives.   Parents put so much pressure on themselves to be perfect that sometimes they miss out on the joy of family life.    It's more important that we are intentional about family life than we have the “perfect plan” on how to be a family.   It's not a bad thing for kids to see their parents have conflict as long as they are also able to experience the effects of their reconciliation.    We can’t make the world safe for our kids, but we do need to make our kids strong.   The heart of the Father is the heart of the priesthood.    If someone falls away from the Church, we may be tempted to cut them out or approve of everything they do, but neither is correct.   Remain in their lives in a consistent and uncompromising way, recognizing that their story isn’t over.      Couple Discussion Questions   Are there areas in our family life that we need to evaluate and possibly change?  Is there a course we are on that we need to correct?     Knowing that our kids will be growing up in a difficult world, how can we make them strong?    How can we respond better to those who have turned away from Christ or His Church?  How can we keep those lines of communication open?     Who are the “spiritual fathers” in our life?  How can we pray for them?     Resources Bible in a Year Podcast Ascension videos w Fr Mike   Introduction and Fundraising Campaign (0:00 - 4:04) Interview with Father Mike Schmitz Begins (4:04 - 5:09) Father Mike Schmitz's Background (5:09 - 7:02) Parenting and Family Life (7:02 - 13:23) Insights on Parenting and Perfection (13:23 - 18:13) Parental Sacrifice and Consistency (00:19:32 - 00:21:28) Parental Influence and Decision-Making (00:21:28 - 00:23:42) Navigating Marital Challenges (00:23:43 - 00:27:37) Spiritual Fatherhood (00:37:06 - 00:38:41) Parenting Journey and Impact (00:38:42 - 00:41:36) Understanding Parental Heartache (00:46:43:18 - 00:47:31:20) Dealing with Children Leaving Faith (00:47:31:22 - 00:48:57:00) Parental Support and Communication (00:50:29:03 - 00:52:37:11) Sexual Intimacy and Spirituality (00:56:53:17 - 00:58:32:06) Blessing and Spiritual Growth (01:02:14:04 - 01:03:32:18)

MPF 289: Fr. Mike Schmitz on Parenting and Marriage

Our parents made us sisters, but God made us friends.     Summary One of the greatest blessings of Alicia’s life is that God gave her 9 brothers and sisters to laugh, play, fight, create, and pray with most of her life! This conversation is from a girls getaway weekend with the five Doman sisters.  Now, because all the Doman siblings are practicing Catholics  in good relationship with each other and their parents, people may put them in a category of “the perfect Catholic family”.  But that is far from true.  As you will hear, each one of these sisters has lived through tragedies and difficulties that were completely unexpected and not chosen by them at all. It is by God’s grace that each one of them has grown into the woman God is calling her to be and it is through that relationship with Christ, as well as the accident of birth, that we are able to have true sisterhood together.  Listen in as we talk about God’s faithfulness through the difficulties of life and how true sisterhood with those in your family and friends are essential to our survival.     Key Takeaways   Life is not always easy, but God is near   We can learn from those who God gives us, even when they are different from us.  Don’t get frustrated by differences, embrace them!   When we are joined together by common faith in Christ, we can develop true friendships     Couple Discussion Questions   What relationships can we invest more in to develop sisterhood and brotherhood?    Are we happy with our relationships with our siblings?  Why or why not? What can we change about this?    How does sharing values with others change us?   

MFP 288: Sisterhood - an interview with the Doman Women

Summary In this episode, we explore the essential aspects of training for virtue and the challenging task of granting freedom to our children. We emphasize the importance of always communicating that you are on their side as a mentor, teacher, and guide, expecting mistakes along the way. We discuss the value of risking giving your child freedom, acknowledging it's not an easy journey. Key discussion points include how to provide more freedom for kids to make good choices, understanding if teens view parents as mentors, and identifying areas needing better boundaries and more training at home. Join us for practical strategies and insights to support your children in making virtuous choices while balancing freedom and boundaries.   Key Takeaways   Always communicate that you are on their side as a mentor, teacher, and guide.    Expect mistakes   Be willing to risk giving your child freedom - beware!  It's not easy!    Couple discussion questions     How can we give our kids more freedom to make good choices? What are my fears about this?    Do my teens see me as a mentor?  Why or why not.  Plan some time to talk to them about this.     Where do we need better boundaries in our home?  What are the areas in which our children need more training?     

MFP 287: Training for Virtue and Giving Freedom

The most important challenge you can take   What does it take to be a great parent and have a joyful family? We think it all boils down to three essential elements. We have turned these three elements into the Play and Pray Challenge!  More than ever, we need to celebrate the love of Jesus in the month of June, because it is HIS love and lordship that will truly fulfill all our deepest longings!  What is the challenge? In the month of June do these three things with your family -  Organize and execute an amazing FAMILY DAY, plan and go on a DATE NIGHT, and proclaim Jesus Christ as the KING OF THE HOME by placing the image of the Sacred Heart in their house and “enthroning” Him as King.  We want to make this a fun and rewarding experience for families, so we have created some resources to help you out. Go to our website messyfamilyproject.org/challenge to get our Play and Pray Challenge Kit.  There are even promo materials for you to put up at your parish or school!   Get the free download and let us know your family is taking the challenge - https://messyfamilyproject.org/challenge/   Related podcast episode:  MFP 091: King of the Home - https://messyfamilyproject.org/mfp-091-king-of-the-home/  MFP 257: How to Change Your Heart  -  https://messyfamilyproject.org/mfp-257-how-to-change-your-heart-lessons-from-the-sacred-heart-of-jesus/   Key takeaways:   One of the greatest assets we have in parenting is the ability to choose how we spend our time.  Protect your yes with 1,000 no’s   Your children need to be known and loved by you. Joy must be alive in your home.   Your marriage gives you the grace to be a parent. So invest deeply in your marriage!   Devotion to the Sacred heart is a game changer for families   If you want to pray with your kids you need to play with them.       Couple Discussion   How do we waste time with our kids?  How do we lavish love on them?   What brings joy to the hearts of our children? How can we do more of that?    What is my understanding of the love of Jesus flowing from His Sacred Heart?  How can I express this love to my children?    

MFP 286: Learning to Love by Being Loved

Summary In this next part of our series on tech, we talk about the specific challenges that tech use brings to boys and girls.  Just as men and women have different gifts, they also deal with different temptations in their tech use.  Because of this, parents must be proactive in teaching boundaries to their children so they can use tech with freedom when they leave your house and enter the world of adulthood. During this conversation, we give you some principles that you will need to discuss with your spouse to make a tech policy of your own. Every family must have some boundaries, because if you don’t define them, then the reality is that Big Tech will be calling the shots in your house. Their goal is to control your kids and they have the means to do it.     Key Takeaways   Because of the genius of men to create and subdue the world they are more tempted to be addicted to video games.  Because of women’s gift of relationships they are more tempted to be absorbed in social media.     Parents must know the symptoms of addiction and immediately respond if they believe their child has an addiction.  Their child’s future success in life depends on it.    The best filter is a well-formed child who knows how to respond to toxic online content.    You must teach and model healthy tech use for your kids - nothing is private, have a healthy skepticism of any online content, and learn good manners.       Couple Discussion Questions   Are we aware of the symptoms of tech addiction?  Are any of our children in danger of this addiction?  If so, what are we going to do about it?    Do we have a written tech policy?  Plan a time to discuss with your spouse and create one.     What is our plan for social media use for our children?     Resources   The Messy Family Guide to Technology - https://messyfamilyproject.org/guide/screens-your-child/

Finding ways to travel on your terms can be a challenge. We’ve become fans of the Zero To Travel podcast and hope you check it out too.

Introducing the Zero To Travel Podcast

Hyper-capitalism — also called late-stage capitalism — is what happens when material resources, lifestyle activities, and everything in between becomes both commodified and consumable. In hyper-capitalistic economies, products get invented that no one needs or wants. Celebrities are revered like gods. Inequity is everywhere, and citizens internalize the idea that their worth is measured by some mysterious combination of career success and amassed material goods. Many argue that the United States has entered its hyper-capitalist era, as Americans report that the relentless demands of trying to keep up results in working longer hours, increasing loneliness, and lowered life satisfaction. On today's show: A conversation with New York Times bestselling author Kirsten Powers about the ways in which Americans are experiencing the effects of hyper-capitalism in real time.   Here's a preview: [5:00] A laundry list of hyper-capitalism's consequences in 2024 [11:00] Europe doesn't consume way America does.

Self-Improvement

Well, we recorded this episode at the latest time we've ever recorded a podcast episode -- past 10 p.m.! We found a window of time to record this before our family trip to Missouri to pick up Silas from camp, followed by his big baseball tournament in Mississippi! Jesse has been getting up at 6:00 a.m. to hit the CrossFit gym again, which has been a fantastic start to his days, although it certainly makes 10 p.m. feel like midnight! :) In a recent episode, Jesse and I discussed our goals for the summer, and I am thrilled to share that I'm making some great progress, especially with tracking everything on the Strides app! For the first time, my goal of spending 1,000 hours outside this year is in the green (summer and baseball make it much easier to be outdoors more!) I am also on track with my reading goal and am aiming to finish fifty books by the end of the summer, I have already finished almost ten, and it's only June! (Plus, my annual goal is seventy-five, so if I actually finish 50 this summer, I'll be well ahead of schedule!) Jesse and I also discuss how our slowed-down summer theme has allowed us more family movie nights. We watched The Boys in the Boat, a beautifully crafted film based on true events, and The Challenger: The Final Flight, a riveting documentary on Netflix about the 1986 Challenger disaster. I vaguely remember the tragedy from my childhood but learned a lot that I don't remember about the events surrounding it since I was so young. We also discuss something that resonated with me this summer - whether our routines and goals serve us or enslave us. For example, running 100 miles this summer has been a positive challenge for me. It’s a time for prayer, thinking, and even playing brain games like Connections from The New York Times while I run. It’s been beneficial rather than burdensome as it might be for some others. Asking ourselves as we create routines or set goals: "Will this serve us or enslave us?" Can be a really insightful question! In This Episode [0:36] - This is the latest that we’ve ever recorded an episode - it's after 10 p.m.! [1:44] - Jesse’s morning routine of starting with a cold shower and workout significantly impacts his day. [3:36] - I am excited that my summer goals are progressing well, with significant improvement in outdoor hours! [4:41] - An update on how I'm doing on my reading goals for the summer. [5:45] - We have enjoyed films like The Boys in the Boat and Challenger: The Final Flight this summer. [8:44] - I reflect on how watching Challenger: The Final Flight revealed surprising details and life lessons about decision-making. [11:31] - A listener thanks us for introducing Ruta Sepetys' books and recommends A Higher Call. [12:54] - I recently finished Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots by Mary Marantz which resonated with my journey of confronting perfectionism. [15:53] - A friend inspired me with her unscheduled summer approach, although I do need a routine to slow down. [17:24] - Do your routines serve you or enslave you? [19:09] - I've been enjoying playing the Connections game during my runs because it keeps my mind engaged. [20:41] - I personally cherish my time running, when I pray and think freely; it's liberating to me, not confining.

265. Routines and schedules: do they serve you or enslave you?

This week's podcast episode covers a much-requested topic: our favorite audiobooks! Summer is a great time for reading and listening to more books -- especially with road trips and/or just a slower schedule. And if you listen regularly to the podcast, you know we love audiobooks. Whether you’re looking for a way to pass time while cleaning, cooking, or driving or you prefer listening to reading, this episode is packed with our favorite 20+ audiobooks to add to your listening library! I managed to narrow my list down to 20 (okay, maybe a few more) and then Jesse shares some of his favorite series, too. We share a wide range of books -- including my favorite book on habits, a book that inspired me to want to visit all the national parks, captivating fiction, eye-opening historical narratives, and more! We also share how we find time to listen to audiobooks, when we listen to audiobooks, and how we listen to audiobooks. And we share how we never pay for audiobooks!In This Episode[0:35] - Jesse and I are diving into our favorite audiobooks and sharing 20+ recommendations! [2:59] - We use the Libby app to listen to audiobooks on my phone (+ when I listen to them!) [4:53] - I start by recommending Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours. [5:51] - I highly recommend The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society for its engaging, well-narrated story. [7:11] - Jesse enjoys starting a series from the beginning, like Bill O'Reilly's Killing series. [9:39] - Next up on my list is The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris. [10:53] - Dear Bob and Sue recounts a couple's witty, sarcastic adventures visiting all U.S. national parks. [13:23] - Jesse enthuses over Vince Flynn’s American Assassin, which starts a series completed by other authors after his death. [14:11] - I mention the highly popular book Atomic Habits. [16:42] - The next audiobook on my list is The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer. [17:18] - Pam Jenoff’s The Orphan’s Tale explores how Jews were hidden in circuses during World War II. [17:50] - I also mention Georgia Hunter’s We Were the Lucky Ones, which tells the true story of a Jewish family's survival during World War II. [18:52] - Madeleine Martin’s The Last Bookshop in London is a soothing story that encourages me to read some classic works. [19:38] - Jesse and I both enjoyed The President Is Missing and The President's Daughter for their thrilling political insights and insider details. [20:59] - Kristin Hannah’s The Great Alone vividly depicts the harsh, isolating life in Alaska. [22:29] - I reflect on how Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures, featuring an octopus was unexpectedly compelling. [23:51] - Last year's "summer book club" led me to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, sparking my interest in Sepetys’ other historical fiction works. [25:22] - The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek and The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson are also compelling. [27:49] - For younger kids, I recommend the Little House on the Prairie series, great for both reading and listening!

264. Our Top 20+ Favorite Audiobooks

This week, join us as we share our goals for this summer! You might recall from our recent episodes our theme for the summer is a Slowed Down Summer. Today, we're talking more about what we plan for that to look like and the specific goals I set for the summer to help me live out that theme. Some of these goals might seem -- at first -- a bit contradictory to the idea of slowing down, but I share more in this episode how these will help me walk out my hope for slowing down this summer. I set a running goal -- which is something that is so cathartic to me! And a reading goal, which is also something that helps me to slow down. In this episode, I share about how I'm incorporating more reading into my day. I also set a reading goal for two chapter books I want to finish with the younger kids + some preschool I want to finish with them over the summer. Finally, we are hoping to plan in lots of dates as a couple and dates with the older kids. I set specific numbers to shoot for, but it's mostly just able intentionally prioritizing time to be together and have fun together. What are your goals and hopes for this summer? I'd love to hear!In This Episode[0:35] - Our goals for a slowed-down summer! [1:42] - A little update on savoring vs. surviving graduation week. [7:45] - I recently finished reading Win at Work and Succeed at Life, which challenged me to rethink overworking and balance business with personal priorities. [10:31] - My summer goals focus on working less and slowing down, with specific objectives to achieve this. [11:11] - Goal #1: Run 100 miles and why it doesn't contradict slowing down. [14:33] - Goal #2: finish 50 books! [18:30] - Goal #3: finish reading Farmer Boy and Little House on the Prairie with the younger kids. [19:44] - Goal #4: finish reading the Biggest Story Bible with the younger kids and Goal #5: go on eight dates with her older kids. [21:21] - Goal #6: Goal on 15 dates with Jesse. [22:25] - Prioritizing one-on-one dates with the older kids, embracing flexibility while aiming for monthly quality time together. [24:59] - Jesse hopes to finally finish Three Felonies a Day this summer.

263. Our Goals for a Slowed Down Summer

There are certain conversations and interviews that I know after having them, they will stick with me for a long time to come. This episode with Jessica Hurlbut, author of Unlimited Motherhood: Overcome 12 Limits That Overwhelm and Conflict Our Hearts, is one of those. It touched and challenged me deeply... and it wasn't just the interview with her that you'll hear at the link below, but also our time before and after the interview. Jessica just oozes with kindness and grace and Jesus and her book and her life and this interview inspired me  Jessica is mom of five and two of her children have severe autism and of her children were adopted through foster care. Jessica has a heart for families who have children with disabilities and a passion for foster care and adoption -- so we both have a lot of shared passion! One of the most touching parts of our conversation (and of her book) was Jessica's transparency about her struggles and her candidness about walking through what she calls the "hidden years of motherhood". For her, these were years filled with isolation and relentless difficulties, especially when it came to having multiple little ones, fostering, and learning to navigate having two children with autism. But it was during these times that she learned invaluable lessons about surrender, trust, and finding beauty in the unexpected. I can almost guarantee you that you'll be richly blessed by listening to this episode. Jessica's faith in the goodness of God -- despite the dark days of motherhood -- really convicted me! Jessica's insights and experiences will encourage you to lean into God's grace and trust Him even when things feel overwhelming. In This Episode[0:35] - Join me for this episode as I interview Jessica Hurlbut, author of Unlimited Motherhood! [1:33] - Jessica's journey of mothering children with autism, fostering, and then adopting two young children. [5:42] - What it was like to walk through eight isolating years as a stay-at-home mom to a child with autism. [9:33] - I ask Jessica to share how she grieved the loss of what she pictured her life would be. [11:58] - Our lives are almost always so much different than we envisioned, but also so much better. [17:11] - What faithfulness looks like in our every day lives. [18:07] - Motherhood isn't about controlling outcomes or being a supermom but is about learning deep trust in God. [22:47] - Jessica shares a powerful story of living radically courageous, even when other people didn't understand.  [26:39] - The story isn't tied up with a neat bow, but it's a reminder that God doesn't call us to success but to faithfulness.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineBooksUnlimited Motherhood: Overcome 12 Limits That Overwhelm and Conflict Our Hearts by Jessica HurlbutSocial MediaCrystal Paine on Instagram (@moneysavingmom)Crystal Paine on Instagram (@crystaliscleaning)Crystal Paine on GoodreadsMoney Saving MomMoney Saving Mom on FacebookMoney Saving Mom Deal Seekers Facebook groupcrystal@moneysavingmom.com

262. What Autism Taught Me About Limits & the Goodness of God (with Jessica Hurlbut)

Recently, I mentioned something on Instagram about how having an adult child is wonderful and also there are new challenges as your kids get older and grow wings and fly. This resonated with so many people that I ended up turning my thoughts into an Instagram post. And then it inspired us to expand further on it in this week's podcast episode. We're just a year into having an adult child, but we wanted to share what we learned so far -- especially as we get ready to graduate another senior from high school!  In this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of watching our kids learn to navigate life on their own. We discuss things we are glad we did ahead of time and things we wish we had known. It’s such a joy to see them succeed and grow, but it’s also tough to watch them struggle and face hardships that we can’t fix for them. We share some of our experiences, some of the hard lessons, and the surprising things we've learned along the way. I hope this conversation encourages you, whether you’re about to launch your kids into adulthood, you already have launched them, or you’re right in the thick of parenting littles or tweens or teens.  We also discuss my goal for a “slowed-down summer” and what I've proactively put into place to make that happen. We also answer a question we kept getting about Jesse's To Do app, talk about a book I finished recently, and share some lessons we've learned about communication in marriage (please laugh -- this was such a rabbit trail!). Plus, I share a freebie with you -- 100 Free or Low Cost Summer Bucket List Ideas!In This Episode[0:35] - What we wish we knew before having an adult child, a topic inspired by an Instagram post. [1:35] - Hear about the phrase I chose for this summer. [3:52] - I recently read and loved Tired of Being Tired by Jess Connolly. [6:02] - Jesse shares what he loves about the Appigo Todo app. [8:50] - Challenges we've had in communication in our marriage and lessons we've learned. [13:13] - Learning to let go as a parent of an adult child can be one of the hardest things. [14:22] - The importance of letting kids handle challenges themselves when they are younger. [17:53] - Plus, teaching kids to be more self-sufficient involves giving them tools to confront problems. [20:01] - There is a time to say no and there is a time to express caution and let your child learn through experience. [24:03] - I describe how starting my day with a walk and prayer helps me support and connect with each of my kids. [26:18] - In closing, parenting older children is challenging but rewarding, reminding us to trust and rely on God.
