Want to know why you're so overwhelmed? Make sure you're listening in!⁣
⁣
I'm hear as a friendly voice to let you know that you are not alone in your parenting struggles. You are not failing. You are not broken.⁣
⁣
You are human. You don't have to parent perfectly. No one is grading you. And we all, and I do mean ALL, have challenges that come up against us no matter how perfect someone looks on social media.⁣
⁣
I'm here to help walk you through those challenges and struggles.⁣
⁣
I'm here to offer REAL mom talk about real things we face as moms.⁣
⁣
What would you like to talk about?

Be the mom you want to be. Decide right now how yo

Be the mom you want to be. Decide right now how you want to show up today! ⁣
⁣
Would you rather have a clean house OR spend time with your family by playing with your kids?⁣
⁣
Are you going to allow the little things to stress you out and be a nagging, yelling version of yourself today OR are you going to choose joy even when it's hard?⁣
⁣
Is your to-do list going to fill your hours OR is making memories your priority?⁣
⁣
We both know what you want, mama! So DO IT!⁣
⁣
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10⁣
⁣
Mom, don't let the enemy steal your time away from your family. Don’t let him steal your joy! You were meant to fully live!⁣
⁣
So go! Go on a picnic, on a bike ride, play Yahtzee way past bedtime, make smores and have an insane dance party.⁣
⁣
I challenge you to live your life to the fullest today!⁣
⁣
How are you going to do that?

You are already are a good mom. Heck, you're a gre

You are already are a good mom. Heck, you're a great mom!⁣
⁣
Remember that God chose YOU to be the perfect parent for your kids.⁣
⁣
So stop trying to get all the details put perfectly in place. You're just overwhelming yourself.⁣
⁣
When you stop trying to be perfect, when you stop trying to live up to so-and-so's mom... you'll find freedom and space to really step into the amazingly perfect mom you were meant to be.⁣
⁣
Let go of the idea of perfection. ⁣
⁣
Release what overwhelms you.⁣
⁣
And find your happy.

Sometimes the best thing to do, is to JUST BE.⁣

Sometimes the best thing to do, is to JUST BE.⁣
⁣
I adore this picture of two of the boys and I in Puerto Rico.⁣
⁣
This was a moment of BE-ing. And of being together.⁣
⁣
The boys had had a full day of online Zoom schooling and spent hours afterwards alternating time playing in the warm sand with jumping in the waves and boogie boarding in the cool of the ocean.⁣
⁣
I was enjoying one of my fav spots on the beach house property... the place where the water containment wall (separating the tide from the yard) met the four steps from our yard down to the beach. ⁣
⁣
From that spot you could see for miles down the beach in both directions, and could take in both the sunshine and the breeze. ⁣
⁣
The boys came down to get hugs and ask about our dinner plan. ⁣
⁣
But they stayed because they were captivated by the calm, by both the beauty and serenity of their surroundings, and by feeling the warmth of our heartstrings intertwined with each other.⁣
⁣
Sometimes just being together is enough.⁣
⁣
Sometimes being in the quiet is enough. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes just having space to breathe is enough.⁣
⁣
⁣
Friends, when is the last time that you gave yourself permission to JUST BE?⁣
⁣
Are you giving your family that space?⁣
⁣
I urge you to push pause on everything around you and allow yourself to just be. ⁣
⁣
Your best self, your best life, and the best moments are waiting there!⁣
⁣
