  • Good morning, everyone! Lindsey here. In her essay that went up last week, @tori_rask talked about the surprising new spiritual discipline she stumbled upon--that of simply making space for quiet each morning, and in so doing, making space for God.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ April has been all about the topic of "healthy soul," so I've been reflecting a lot on the spiritual practices that have mattered to me in busy motherhood seasons. Some we've talked about already this month, like contemplative prayer and making gratitude lists. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Another one for me is a quick walk outside. Just a few years ago, this would have *never* made my list, but I've been surprised to discover that a little time in the fresh air (fingers crossed for sunshine), to notice what God is up to around me and maybe say hello to some neighbors, always helps me uncover a little peace and joy.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I'd love to know what spiritual practices (even surprising ones!) matter to you these days. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #wellwateredwomen #smallmomentsofcalm #aseasonalshift #capturequiet #daysofsmallthings #tinytinymoments #shedelights #faithinspired #encouragingwords #encouragementquotes #positivequotes #whateverislovely #blessedisshe #cultivatewhatmatters #purposefulliving #createalifeyoulove #beintentional #setyoursoulonfire #radiatepositivity #womenencouragingwomen #madetocreate #itiswellwithmysoul #motherhoodissanctifying #joyfulmama #storytellingmama #momsoffaith ⁣⠀ #graceupongrace #renewyourmind #mindfulmoment⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
  • Hey, friends! New post up today from editorial team writer @robin.chapman. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ In today's essay, Robin shares about a moment of attempted creativity and connection with God that did *not* go as planned. (The journaling Bible and Sharpie scribbles you see in this picture may have played a role. 😉)⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This one's for any mom who's had her project or her peace ruined by a tiny person she loves. ❤️⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #shereadstruth #wellwateredwomen #graceupongrace #pursuewhatislovely #joyfullife #wordbeforeworld #faithblogger #christianmom #werisetogether #coffeeandjesus #hopeforthewearymom #lifelivedbeautifully #christianwriter #preachingtomyself #faithinspired #itiswellwithmysoul #healthysoul #memoirsofmotherhood #momslifeblog⁣⠀ #motherhoodinspired #familyfirst⁣⠀ #mommyhood #motherhoodissanctifying #dontmomalone #illustratedfaith #biblejournaling #illustratedfaithcommunity #faithjournaling #biblegram #scripturewriting⁣⠀
  • Doesn't this photo just scream spring?! Thanks for sharing it with us, @nicoledeannlawrence! ⁣⠀ ⠀ Friends, there is a new episode of the Kindred Mom podcast available today!

  • Well, if that is not just the BEST skeptical face you've ever seen on a baby, I don't know what is! For #fridayintroductions today, we have something extra special.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Our Kindred Mom founder and dear friend Emily (@emily_sue_allen) welcomed her sweet baby boy, Zane Bennett, into the world on April 14th. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This little boy is so loved already, and we are praising Jesus for his safe and healthy delivery.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Will you join us in congratulating Emily and her family on the addition of baby #7?! 💜💜💜⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #coffeeandcrumbs #motherhoodalive #stopdropandmom #notonlymama #joyfulmamas #thisismotherhood #momblogger #momswhoblog #nestandthrive #breadandwine #lovewelcomeserve #comeandeat #familykitchen #dinnerathome #motherhoodinspired #let_there_be_delight #newbaby #newborn #1weekold #babygrow #mytinymoments #worldoflittles #ohheymama #ohmamamoment #momsquad #motherhoodunited #boymom #babyboy⁣⠀
  • "The demands are calling. The expectations are pressing in. The hustle that this day, and every day, requires is beginning anew."⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ This is from today's NEW POST by @tori_rask. Anybody out there relate to this instant onslaught of demands, the moment you wake up? 🙋⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Today, Tori lets us in on her experience learning to make space in her soul for God. If you have a sense that stillness is necessary, but you find it difficult to pull off, this post is for you.⁣⠀
  • Heather Lobe (@heatherlobe) was on the blog yesterday with a post about gratitude--how she learned to practice it and how it impacts her motherhood. We loved her thoughts here about faithfulness in the everyday:⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ "Real life, modern day faithfulness doesn’t necessarily look like building an ark or going into battle or taking a long journey through the wilderness.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ 🌿For me, it looks like meeting deadlines at work and keeping my heart focused on God on the tough days. It’s practicing spelling words and helping Emmett prepare for his Friday test. It’s steaming the green beans and listening to the Bible out loud, or stirring the rice while we talk about obedience (for Emmett yes, but also for me). It’s not living for the weekends but building daily awareness, faithfulness, and gratitude for the right now life He has for me as a full-time working single mom." Head to her profile to read the rest! 💚 No matter your spiritual background, *faithfulness* is something we all have to practice in motherhood. What does faithfulness look like you for, today? #healthysoul⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #riseupwriters #hopewriters #shewritestruth #shespeakstruth #shereadstruth #wellwateredwomen #graceupongrace #pursuewhatislovely #joyfullife #soulscripts #faithblogger #christianmom #werisetogether #bedeeplyrooted #coffeeandjesus #hopeforthewearymom #lifelivedbeautifully #wordbeforeworld #christianwriter #preachingtomyself #faithinspired #itiswellwithmysoul #healthysoul #memoirsofmotherhood #momslifeblog⁣⠀ #motherhoodinspired⁣⠀ #mommyhood #motherhoodissanctifying #dontmomalone ⁣⠀
  • NEW POST!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ We've all heard about the benefits of gratitude for our minds, hearts, souls, but it can be so hard to remember when we need it. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Today, @heatherlobe gives us seven ways to make it a habit, rather than just an occasional practice.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ We were especially drawn to Heather's story because it was her mom who helped Heather to develop this practice in her life. What great encouragement for all of us mamas--we have the power to help our children develop spiritual practices that will last their entire lives!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Click over to the blog to read Heather's story, then come back and tell us three things you're thankful for. 💚💚💚⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #riseupwriters #hopewriters #pursuewhatislovely #joyfullife #faithblogger #christianmom #werisetogether #bedeeplyrooted #coffeeandjesus #hopeforthewearymom #lifelivedbeautifully #wordbeforeworld #christianwriter #preachingtomyself #faithinspired #itiswellwithmysoul #healthysoul #memoirsofmotherhood #momslifeblog⁣⠀ #motherhoodinspired #familyfirst⁣⠀ #mommyhood #motherhoodissanctifying #dontmomalone #1000gifts #getaftergrateful #gratitudepractice #motherhoodisdarling #thankfulheart #mycupoverflows⁣⠀

Cute kids, piles of laundry... kinda feels like home, huh? 😊⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Thanks for sharing this photo with us, @lanna255.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Remember to tag us in your motherhood photos using #kindredmom... we love seeing these glimpses of life for the awesome moms in our community here. 💚⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ And are you following along with the Peaceful Home Challenge: Spring Cleaning edition?

  • For those of us in the Christian tradition, this week is Holy Week, when we anticipate the death and resurrection of Jesus. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ On episode 57 of the podcast, which dropped last week, Emily chatted with Rachel, Lindsey, and guest Lexie Stratman about spirituality and motherhood. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ They talked about how motherhood and spirituality are tied together, how moms develop their identity, and what it looks like to cultivate peace in our homes. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Over the course of the conversation, Lindsey shared how she is learning to differentiate between "peace" and "calm." She said, "I'm coming to terms with the fact that my house may not be calm, but that doesn't mean is it not peaceful."⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ What about you? How do you cultivate a sense of peace in your home?⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ •⁣⠀ #wellwateredwomen #smallmomentsofcalm #capturequiet #daysofsmallthings #tinytinymoments #shedelights #faithinspired #encouragingwords #whateverislovely #blessedisshe #cultivatewhatmatters #purposefulliving #createalifeyoulove #beintentional #setyoursoulonfire #radiatepositivity #womenencouragingwomen #madetocreate #itiswellwithmysoul #sacredordinarydays #motherhoodissanctifying #joyfulmama #storytellingmama #momsoffaith ⁣⠀ #graceupongrace #renewyourmind #mindfulmoment #kindredmompodcast #motherhoodpodcast #mompodcast⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
