Work Life Glue

Don’t you just love talking to other moms and learning about new products, tips, hacks, websites, etc. that you had never heard of that are SUPER helpful for you once you implement them?  I think learning from other moms is one of the best ways to get better and more efficient at this whole motherhood thing. I’m constantly trying out new things and trying to improve my life, so I thought it would be fun to share over 20 different things I’m doing, using, and LOVING as a mom that I believe will help my fellow mamas out there!  I’m sharing my favorite sanity-savers for beauty, mornings, cooking, screens, learning, parenting, and MORE!

Moms are guilty creatures by nature, always striving to be better because we want the best for their kids.  We are always comparing ourselves, our lives, our stuff, our kids, etc. to others and somehow always come out lacking.  We believe we aren't good moms, our kids aren't behaving normally, we don't have what we need to raise our kids.  But the problem is, so many things we tell ourselves in our thoughts as moms are LIES!  And even worse, many of us don't actually tell ourselves lies, but by our actions we can tell that these lies are engrained in us.   This episode is going to break down many lies we tell ourselves as moms that AREN'T true.  Some lies are going to leave you feeling empowered when I break them down, but some will probably make you feel uncomfortable because let's face it, some of the lies help us feel better about our lives so we don't try to improve, go after the things we truly want, or risk failure to try something new.  My ultimate hope is that this episode really hits home and helps you reflect on the thoughts you have and question if they are actually true.  It's the first step toward changing your mindset and choosing to continue to believe these things or to replace them with a new thought if the current thoughts aren't serving you.

We all know that when kids are around, it can be hard to get much of anything done.  As moms, no matter if we work or not, if we work inside the home or outside of the home, we are pulled in a million directions!  So many moms desire to be home with their kids but also want or need to bring in an income.  Guess what - you CAN do both!  It's not any easier, it's not less complicated, but motherhood can be hard (but also rewarding) no matter what your situation is, so pick your version of hard.  I have worked from home in various ways since I became a mom, so 6.5 years and two additional daughters later, I have learned a thing or two (or ten) about the intricate dance that is working from home with kids at my feet.  In today's episode, I'm sharing my best tips for how to make this happen in hopes that it can inspire you it can be done if it's a path you are wanting to try or that it can give you some practical ideas to make your life a bit easier if you are already on this path yourself!

Many of us moms are wired to be introverted.  This can be very hard in a seemingly extroverted world!  We are encouraged to go, go go, to be social, to get our kids involved, to spend as much time as we can with our kids, and to give so much of ourselves every second of every day.  None of these are *bad* things, but they do make mothering even harder for an introverted mom who needs time away, who is often sensitive to lots of stimuli (especially sound), who needs space and time to just be calm and present, and who gets overwhelmed when life gets too busy or chaotic.

I am a fellow introverted mom, and as someone kind of addicted to improving systems, routines, and different areas of my life, I have learned some useful tips about not just surviving as an introvert, but actually THRIVING!  I want to share these tips with you today in hopes that it can help make motherhood a little easier and more enjoyable for my fellow introverted moms out there!

Back-to-school is a CRAZY time, even for homeschooled parents!  We are jumping into new routines, there are lots of fears/anxiety/excitement and just emotions in general making these transitions harder, more activities start, and it’s just a wonder we even get through the day sometimes!  I’m here to help!  Even though most people have already gone back to school (whatever that looks like for your family), there are lots of things we can easily improve to make the mornings, evenings, homework time, etc. less chaotic and more, dare I say it, blissful than it may currently be.  In this episode, I share many easy-to-implement back to school hacks for even the busiest and most overwhelmed of moms!

For Christian parents, we want to pass on our faith and raise Godly children, help them grow spiritually, help our children grow emotionally, and fit in things like reading the bible, saying prayers, gratitude, memorizing scripture, and more, but it can be so hard when we are also super busy parents. I have been fitting these things in for years even when my husband and I were both working 50+ hours a week! How? Through habit stacking and being really intentional about our time! Watch this video for tons of tips and resources for helping your children grow spiritually and emotionally!
