One of the hardest things to navigate as a parent is cultivating sibling relationships, especially with littles and welcoming a new baby into the family. Whether you’re currently in a season of adjusting to a new baby in the family or you know this is something you’ll experience down the road, my goal is to lend some advice and encouragement for you. We’ll discuss preparing your older kiddos for a baby, God's design for the family unit, and how to help your kids thrive as siblings.

One of the things that freed me up the most in my motherhood journey was realizing that I don't always have to LIKE every single part of being a mom. I don’t have to like the 3 am wake up calls and poop accidents and toddler attitudes in order to do this job joyfully. If nobody’s ever told you that, let me be the first to fill you in on this secret - loving motherhood and doing it joyfully doesn’t mean you have to like every single part of it! Let’s just be real, nobody likes every single part of it. Today we’re answering the question, “how do i remain joyful even in the parts of motherhood i probably wont ever look back on and miss?” So let's dive in!

My favorite part of each episode I sit down to record is at the very end when I get to pray over you. I don’t know if you can tell, but I often get teary and choked up in my prayers over you - it means so much to me to get to do that each week. So today, I simply want to ask… can I take a few minutes and pray over your kids?

I would love the honor to do that.

As mothers, it’s so easy to think of ourselves last and to forget all the wonderful things about ourselves that make us who we are. It’s also easy to only see the hard and the faults in ourselves. Which is why, from one mama to another, I want to share 5 things I know to be true about you, regardless of whether or not you believe them. Because the good news about truth is, it doesn’t care how you feel about it.

Some of the most frequent conversations and frequently asked prayer requests in my DMs and messages are from mamas who are feeling called to stay home with their kids but are worried about leaving their job and their income on the line, and I get it! I’ve been there too. It’s scary becoming a one income family and it can feel like one giant trust-fall with Jesus. But I believe that being called to your home does not mean you have to forfeit bringing in income for your family. 

God created you and I as women with a unique resourcefulness and creativity and if you allow it, stepping into the role of homemaker and mother full time can actually be an amazing opportunity to let those God-given giftings shine. So today is for you - mama who feels the call but is scared to step into the unknown. I want to give you some encouragement and also give you 10 examples of ways to make money right from your home.

Postpartum… the best of times, and sometimes the worst of times. Am I right? The postpartum season is so full of ups and downs, which is to be expected. The high highs of having a new baby to love will leave you feeling like you can do absolutely anything, but the low lows that can often accompany this life changing time… that part’s a little bit harder to talk about. In this episode I’m sharing with you a little bit of my story when it comes to postpartum and giving you some habits that will help support you if you find yourself struggling.
