  • “I don’t worry too much about their current aversions or preferences—after all, there was a season when my favorite sandwich was Miracle Whip on Wonder Bread. ⠀ ⠀ Deep down, I just want them to eat something, to be filled, to be nourished, to grow, to recognize the gift of groceries, and to be grateful for the food on their plate. And I want them to at least stay open-minded to trying new things, even if that bite gets spit into a napkin from time to time.” --Rebekah Crosby, @writetheroughdraft, from the essay, "Just Eat Something"⠀ ⠀ This essay--the latest from our Writers in Residence--is up on the blog today! Visit the link in our profile to read it.⠀ ⠀ When your kids sit down to the table, what are you hoping for?⠀ ⠀ ⠀

  • What makes life around your family table special? Is it the cultures represented in the food, or the conversations you have, or maybe just the fact that no one spilled a drink today? 😊 (We've all been there.)⠀ ⠀ ON THE BLOG TODAY, @dorinagilmore shares some of the practices that help create the family culture she hopes for. ⠀ ⠀ Dorina writes, "The table holds a centrifugal force, drawing our family together.

  • Happy #fridayintroductions, everyone! ⠀ ⠀ Today, we're excited to introduce you to Patty Scott (@hearts_homeward), who is one of our Writers in Residence this fall! Patty is a mom of 2 boys, ages 9 and 16. Talk to her for just 2 minutes, and you'll discover that she is a wonderful encourager and cheerleader. It's been so great having her on our team for that reason, and we're thrilled to share some of her writing with you. ⠀ ⠀ Patty joined Emily on our podcast earlier this week, and last week, we shared Patty's essay about what it really takes to gather our families around the dinner table. Spoiler alert: The table itself isn't really the point! 😉(Visit the link in our profile to read her essay.) ⠀ ⠀ But the fun doesn't stop there. Patty's brand new book is available NOW! It's called Slow Down, Mama: Intentional Living in a Hurried World and is all about time management for us busy, many-hat-wearing moms. ⠀ Raise your hand if you need that book. 🙋 (I certainly do.) Head over to Patty's profile for more details, or search "Slow Down, Mama" on Amazon. 🎉🎉⠀ 🎉•⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #hopewriters #amwriting #writeitgirl #writersofig #seekinspirecreate #capturemycraft #readmakegrow #acreativelife #riseupwriters #shewritestruth #writerslife #whereiwrite #momblogger #faithblogger #thesincerestoryteller #momswhoblog #writersnetwork #christiancreative #momdotcom #nestandflourish #joyfulmotherhood #intentionalmotherhood #shareyourheart #let_there_be_delight #newbook #slowdownmama #intentionalliving #selfpublished #kindredmom

  • NEW POST on the blog today, from editorial team member Robin Chapman. (@robin.chapman)⠀ ⠀ A few months ago, Robin found herself embarking on a super-restricted diet, on doctor's orders. While the diet was intended to address some health concerns, it was her HEART that transformed. Visit KindredMom.com or tap the link in our profile to read more of Robin's essay. 💜⠀
  • Our Kindred Mom editorial team has experienced quite a few transitions lately: new homes, new schools, new towns, and more. We were reminded of this essay from the archives, "Simple Sunday Hospitality," by @trestapayne⠀ ⠀ “Parenting is a constant transition—as soon as you feel you’ve mastered one stage, another one comes in to take its place. Life comes around full-circle and many of the things we hope our kids are learning come slowly to fruition. One day you realize you’re not hammering the same lessons in, day after day. Your kids have changed. You’ve changed.”⠀ Thank you, Tresta, for sharing these words with us! 💜 ⠀ Are you in a season of transition right now? How do you see you and your kids changing these days?⠀ ⠀
  • Head to the blog today for a brand NEW POST from @tori_rask. Today, Tori is sharing about the lessons she learned from her own mom: loving another through the gift of food. And we get to benefit from those lessons, too! Tori's got 5 practical tips for making sharing a meal a bit easier. . . Tag someone below who has gifted YOU with a meal when you needed one. Then, tap the link in our profile or head to KindredMom.com to read Tori's post. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
