Sunshine in My Nest

Do you ever feel like there are all these things you "should be doing" for your kids? Maybe it's the way they are learning, maybe experiences you wish they could have. Today Leah and I talk about peace in motherhood, and what it looks like to let go and trust that your child will learn. She has spent years teaching her kid's in a "Charlotte Mason" approach, and now coaching parents. But maybe you don't homeschool, or you don't know who "Charlotte Mason it. Words like "homeschool" "Child-led education", and "spreading a feast" on Instagram confuse you! Don't be intimidated Leah gently walks us through! 

The things she says are so such soothing balm to a mother's heart that I cried. I hope they bring you as much comfort as they did to me!

Have you wondered how to talk to your kids about the kid at the park who uses a walker? Or what to say to the new mom you met whose child has a disability. Today Laura talked to me about:

How to teach your kids about disabilities before you meet kids who have them in real life. 

What it looks like to get a diagnosis for your child and how it changes everyday life. 

How we can support a friend whose kid just got a diagnosis? 

What do you say when you meet a new family and one of the kids has a disability? 

I hope this conversation helps you as much as it did me! Laura was so kind in the way she dealt with these topics and gave a beautiful look into their every day life!

Today Kristen Wetherell and I talk about what it means when Christ humbled himself. Often we think of humility as something in relation to sin and shame, when it is something else entirely! 

"Humble Moms" is a walk through the book of John. In John, we see the humility of Jesus and how it reflects into the life of a believer as we reflect Christ more in our lives.

She shares a little secret for what she hopes parents get from her books too!
