I know we all want to just have that ONE thing we can teach our children that we know will help them be brave in today's world, stand up for what they believe, and fight back against the cultural lies the world will try to tell them. I also know there isn't just ONE thing, but there are some lessons we can focus on that will set them up for success and equip our toddlers to teens with skills that make them ready to face this world and the scary stuff in it. One of those lessons comes when we talk to our kids about delayed gratification versus immediate gratification. Have you looked at this subject lately?

There's headlines and trendy fads and music and you tube videos and all kinds of things that want to tell our children that quick pleasure is worth giving up self discipline or self control or so many other good fruits that our children will need to survive this world and courageously stand up for the values God wants them to live by. It's a lot to talk about but you are leaving with easy tools and conversation starters. 

Let's, grow!

Is a summer bucket list what our children really want? Do they need a list of daily summer adventures? Maybe they don't want the busy schedule all the time. What if we said no more this summer? What if we don't get caught up in sending them to every camp or summer activity that their friend is going to and we just leave margin for them? The gift of more time in their day and the ability to feel BORED may be just what our children need this summer to grow and what we need to create childhood memories and family fun to last a lifetime.

We've all been there. Those bad days when everything seems to go wrong. The kids won't eat, there's sibling rivalry, mom is losing her patience, everyone needs alone time. Just a day full of chaos and crazy. BUT what about the little moments squeezed in there? The ones with deep connection and strong eye contact and being more present. The moments where you feel like the queen of mom hacks and parenting 101. Did those moments rise to the top? They should --on the really great days and also on those less than mom of the year days. It's okay. We've all been there. Today we're talking about gathering the armor of living in the moment. And it's super easy.

Less distractions sounds so wonderful right? Would we immediately have more time to be present and more time to connect and have solid communication habits? Maybe yes to all of that, but is there one gift of getting rid of distractions - or simply just saying no more often- that we are missing? Are we taking time to notice the simple moments as much as we want? Today, is a reminder for all of us (myself very much included!) to strengthen our family with this mom hack and tool to pass on to our children as ARMOR.

Spoiler Alert: it’s MARGIN. How do we do it? By small choices every day to make it happen. We know it isn’t easy among all the chaos the day can bring with a big family or with a small family. Just having stuff on the schedule can mean we feel distracted and overwhelmed. We want the quality time but oh, how we can feel so torn between the daily activities, carpooling, juggling schedules and all the things.

Keep margin and watch the meaningful moments happen!

We all know that Jesus calls us to be a "new creation" in HIM. He especially calls us to this during Holy Week and Easter. But what about those times when we are too exhausted and too overwhelmed to be that new creation we know we are called to be in parenting? How do we make this fit in our real life when everything can seem to go crazy and we have days of chaos? There is an answer that is super easy and takes the pressure off us moms to be the best every day. We can show up in our mess and bad days of motherhood and still feel like we are getting it right. Let's create more intentional moments for our family and balance the busy so we can grow stronger.

Before you feel discouraged about the schedule, it’s okay. We do not have family dinner 7 nights a week either. We’re lucky some seasons of life to have it all together 3 nights a week. But we all know it’s important and we all want to make it happen in a simple way.

If you have ever fallen off your WHY for Family Dinner, especially in the busy spring season of activities and wrapping up school, and just being overwhelmed, first, you are NOT ALONE! let’s get back to where you want to be - having intentional moments and being present with your family - with these 5 simple tools and strategies for making family dinner happen. We're talking easy meal prep, creating easy conversation starters, positive family atmosphere, and family dinner prayer to unify you as a team.

Let's grow, 

Jennifer

P.S. Listen to Ep 3 again to go back to your WHY for Family Dinner!

Raise your hand if you ever tell your children (especially those babies of the family! :) to stop having birthdays because they need to quit growing up. Today we're talking about what we moms may acutally fear as they grow up and what we think one of the best hacks and solutions really is for these changing seasons with our children. There are a lot of ways we can feel more prepared for the parenting changes, but we think this one should be evaluated more often - and what better way then right here as friends raising our kids together in today's world.

Let's grow,

It can be so hard when we're doing all the busy mom things -trying to balance the busy, be present, stay more intentional....to even know how to stay strong in keeping our priorities where we WANT and KNOW they need to be. We can get consumed and exhausted and forget to keep the first things first. Today's armor will help you to align your priorities right with your values and hopefully be the encouragement you needed to keep going today even through all that busy.

When it's time to make family decisions -whether it's about kids' activities or summer camps or work load or extracurriculars or volunteering (I mean, the list goes on and on, right??)- it can be difficult to know what to say yes or no to and if we are going to hurt or benefit our family with these decisions. Today we're talking about 5 easy questions you can ask yourself when it comes to making decisions and being sure they line up with your family values so you don't compromise what your family stands for and the goal you are reaching for to stay strong.

I recently sent a survey to our Togather Family asking what were some things getting in the way of our families having time for connection and communication. Among all the distractions of too many activities and overwhelming chores and work life balance, the topic of sibling relationships came up many times. You all told me that you didn't want to see this sacrificed because you just got too busy. 

I completely agree and think it's a family value that we need to talk about and reflect on. Let's build and nurture positive sibling relationships within our children.

We send our children out to the world totally believing they can be who they are meant to be. We offer the encouragement, tell them to let their light shine, but do we tell them it will also be scary? That it will also feel uncomfortable and may cause us to want to quit? Shining fully in our gifts is NOT easy. Let's be our children's or friend's biggest fan by doing THIS trick and being sure to tell them the right things about what it means to go let their light shine.

I know how painful it is to watch the lies that this world feeds our kids. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Right is wrong, wrong is right. When was the last time you stopped to ask if you are committed to saying NO? Saying no to the lies we see in the movies, the music, at school, on the news. The way this world twists everything to make us feel bad for having convictions and strong lines of right and wrong. It's time we all have a plan to talk to our children about what God says the truth is and take time to point out to our children when they are being led astray. This episode is to encourage you to gather your armor of courage to stand up against the lies, especially when it's hard and uncomfortable.

Mornings can be CRAZY! As a mom of four, I fully understand the stress of getting them up, trying to keep happy moods, not tipping anyone over the edge (yikes!), getting them fed, teeth brushed, and all out the door with our best to not have lost things left behind. It can feel like a sprint and one that sometimes ends with arguments or just not feeling good with how it went down. Today we're talking about 3 ideas to set us all up for success first thing in the morning so we can for sure feel like we are sending them out that door to start their day with mom and dad loving them so well. I think you will love trying these tomorrow!

We have talked about immediate gratification a lot on here, but when we live in a world of "instant" EVERYTHING, it is something that cannot be forgotten when we are talking about how to keep our family strong and how to raise children who can handle the world.

Today we are talking about comparison and how easy it is to get caught up in it and to think that we are not growing as fast as everyone else. We have a sweet lesson about seeds and bamboo and how God's timing is PERFECT. Plus an amazing way to talk about all of this with your children and whole family!

The last few years brought different challenges for different people when it came to face to face communication. Whether you feel like your child was affected in missing out on practicing manners -at restaurants, with cashiers at stores, with adults - or continued having great interaction and communication skills, it never hurts to revisit what makes our children WELL-MANNERED. Today we are chatting 6 SIMPLE communication manners that every child age 2-22 should be making habit. Lets commit to teaching and practicing these over an over for all our polite children :)

Do you ever feel trapped in the prison of self-doubt? Or so tired that the negative self talk takes over? I, too, have been there. The demands of motherhood and marriage and work can be exhausting and make us doubt what we are even capable of.

Break into the freedom of self belief with these methods for building confidence, reciting positive affirmations, and knowing that God created YOU to not settle and play small in this world. He wants you to live in faith and not fear.

We all want our house to feel clean and tidy, we also don't want the stress of feeling like it has to be perfect. Because...real life. Busy days lead to dishes left out, forgotten laundry, and so many other messes (hello, toys and more toys) we're all familiar with and that's NORMAL. But when we do figure out those little cleaning hacks that work for our own families, parents and children, it can change everything because we feel like we got time given back to us which means more time for family time and creating intentional moments together.

Do you ever wonder if the little mom traditions you do matter? Will the kids grow up and remember? The answer is YES, friend!!! Yes, yes, yes!! Keep doing them because they make your family uniquely YOU! They represent what you stand for and what's special to you all and your family time together. I know the days are overwhelming and it can be easy to push off the little "mom thing" as something no one cares about, but I'm here to have your back and encourage you to keep going. Your intentional moments matter. Even the smallest ones. ;)

Come along friend. Let's grow!

As parents, it's such a unique thing to watch our children reach a goal they've been striving for - the values learned, the character built. Sometimes the goals our family team is working toward and eventually reach feel so normal, like the next part of the journey, that we forget to stop and take time to really look at what fruits are produced because of a dream achieved or prayer answered. And when the world around us tells us that instant gratification is the rule, we can forget what it means to actually accomplish something with great resilience and perseverance. Let's teach our families more values that will help them grow into the people God created them to be.

I was with my dearest friends this morning and our chat inspired this episode. We lean on each other for everything and one topic that came up was how we get off track with what we KNOW we should be doing for our family. I’m talking about rules we know we should have in place, family habits we should be practicing, lessons we should be teaching. And we talked about how we mess up weekly, daily, even hourly. And that is okay. It's OK. 

This episode is permission to mess up, but we cannot sit there. We have to get back up and start again. We're sharing 4 Steps to starting over on habits, activities, or rules that you know are good for your family, but that you've fallen away from. We are using an acronym for the word REAP because that harvest of values and virtues and all things good is what I know we all want for our family. Let's be strong and make it happen.

Let's grow,
