I just heard the word “fwickin” come out of th I just heard the word “fwickin” come out of this 4-year-old’s mouth. (In regards to a Sausage McMuffin, if you’re wondering.) Let me give you a fast and fun snapshot of the inside of my head. 😂 Heh. Fwickin. That’s really funny. I mean BAD. VERY BAD. 😳 Oh crap! She got that from me! Just like she got “holy cwap” from me. Sh....oot. 😬 Maybe if I ignore it, she won’t say it again. [Big sister laughs and makes a thing of it.] Just kidding. There it is again. 🙄 Wow. Seriously winning with baby swears and healthy breakfast here. ⁣ So… I’m sure you’re like, “Cool, but why are you telling us this from the KM account?” Well. Here’s what I’m reminding myself today: ⁣ She is loved. Learning “fwickin’” or “holy cwap” or any other swears, baby or otherwise doesn’t outweigh that on the “cons” side of my parenting scoresheet. She listens to me, at least sometimes. There is no parenting scoresheet. My value doesn’t come from my kids’ behavior or language, whether or not it’s “my fault.” I’m a human person, made in the image of a beautiful, loving, and creative God and that is enough, regardless of my many, many missteps and foibles. ⁣ The last three apply to you as well, whether or not you have baby swears actual swears or biting or lying or pot smoking happening at your house today. They listen, at least sometimes. There is no scoresheet. Your value is not to be found in the behavior of your children (or your own behavior, for that matter): you are made in the image of God. He loves you. That is enough. --Robin (@robin.chapman) . . . . #honestmommin #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #mothersofdaughters #tiredmom #momlife #thehappynow #motherhoodtruths #preachingtoymyself #raisingstrongwomen #timeforcoffee #momsofinstagram #momof4 #lifewithlittles #supermommy #momtribe #mamabear
NEW ESSAY on the blog today! Guest writer Callie D NEW ESSAY on the blog today! Guest writer Callie Dean is sharing a hopeful story of what friendship between moms can really be--with a little bit of intention and a smidge of vulnerability. ⁣ Who are you most often? Are you the woman who initiates new conversations and new friendships, or do you more often hope to be invited in? We think you'll find some commonality and encouragement from Callie's story today! ⁣ Head to KindredMom.com to read the post.

We gathered at the overlook of this mountain bike We gathered at the overlook of this mountain bike trail, basking in our success - the whole family had made it, despite the rocky beginning. The first hundred yards from the parking lot to the packed sand was filled with gravel and deep sand and our five-year-old's hand-me-down bike sunk into the sand. She sat, head in hands, weeping that she wasn't good enough to join us. ⁣ My husband and I did as we usually do, dividing resources and encouraging toward a goal. Frank walked his bike next to Elle and they slowly made their way to the actual trailhead. Our eight-year-old and I peddled ahead and I loved the feeling of working hard to keep up with my daughter. Bea and I reached the overlook and then backtracked to join Frank and Elle. We swapped and encouraged and finally, all sat down to a well-earned lunch with spectacular views. ⁣ Those first hundred yards reminded me of our parenting journey - the mired and slow beginnings that end with success and rejoicing, even if only a few miles were traversed. Our hundred yards of navigating a newborn and preschooler; my hundred yards of balancing motherhood and identity; our hundred yards of this pandemic. ⁣ Beginnings can often feel slow and painful and I wonder if it's worth the effort. We had formed a gameplan that, if the trail didn't get easier, we would turn around to find something better suited to our stages and skillset. ⁣ And yet, I'm so glad we stuck with it. Our five-year-old now claims she is a great mountain biker! That riding the trail is way better than circling our cul-de-sac at home! Our family story has a new adventure written into it and we have tales of courage and perseverance to tell. ⁣ I needed the reminder that beginnings are often hard and can feel bogged down with our own inadequacies. And sometimes turning around and restarting is ok. But sometimes, pushing through the first hundred yards can help write a new story. —Annie Rim (@annie_rim) . . . . . #hikeitbaby #awanderfulchildhood #hikingwithkids #togetherwehike #getoutside #childhoodunplugged #pandmiecparenting #parentinginapandemic #redefiningmotherhood #letthembelittle #explore #naturekids #biglifekids #biglifejournal #growthmindset #posit
It’s not like I haven’t tried to separate my w It’s not like I haven’t tried to separate my worlds—years ago I got rid of most notifications on my phone, so I know now that when my phone dings, it’s probably something I want to see fairly quickly. (This works for me about as well as telling the children to watch My Little Pony while I have a meeting—I can try to minimize distractions, but they keep finding me.) The urgent always invades from whatever realm I’m not currently living in, and I always try to address it immediately. ⁣ That immediacy is something I am reexamining—when every need and request receives the same priority (the very top), life becomes unnecessarily chaotic. Maybe rather than giving all my attention to whichever need I’m trying to meet right now, I need to give more to assessing my own motivations. Is this need really emergent or does it just feel urgent? Do I want to respond right now because that’s necessary or because I neuroticly and aggressively meet needs? Can this wait? ⁣ Perhaps the urgent does not need to be such a tyrant. ⁣ --Robin Chapman, from her essay, "Thanks, No Thanks, Pinkie Pie," available to read at KindredMom.com. . . . . . #honestmommin #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #mothersofdaughters #tiredmom #momlife #thehappynow #motherhoodtruths #preachingtoymyself #raisingstrongwomen #timeforcoffee #momsofinstagram #momof4 #lifewithlittles #supermommy #momtribe #mamabear #workingmom #wahm #sahm
It’s time for #fridayintroductions! I’m Robin It’s time for #fridayintroductions! I’m Robin (and this is Lilly, my fourth). I live in the middle of Alaska, and yes, it’s dark and chilly and going to be that way for… a while. But it’s also pretty and quiet (if you don’t count my house) so there’s that. I thought I’d let you know what I’m watching, listening to, and reading. Watching: Okay, just joking. I have this weird quirk where I actually have to force myself to sit and watch video. But the last thing I stapled my backside to the couch for with any regularity was The Good Place and I highly recommend it (if you’re into irreverently philosophical with a heaping helping of pseudo-swears). Listening: @pantsuitpolitics always and forever. Sarah and Beth are keeping me sane as we get closer and closer to an election that has been stressing me out for literal years. Reading: Mansion of Happiness by Jill Lepore: This is a brief history of life and death. (If you’re familiar with Bill Bryson, it feels somewhat akin.) Fun, quirky, interesting. Kindred, by Octavia Butler: I’m not very far into this one, but it’s riveting—fiction about a black woman who keeps zipping back to the Antebellum South. (Yikes!) I’m also reading Called to Community (various) which is how I’m trying to sort my own issues about people and church. Anyway. That’s me. I love getting recs (how do you think my TBR stack got so out of hand?) so would you do me a favor and tell me a show, podcast, or book that you’re loving right now? . . . . . #motherhood #mymamahood #momblogger #christianmom #momliferocks #bestofmoms #mamabear #momminainteasy #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #honestmommin #momlifeunfiltered #newborn #newbornlife #realmotherhood
NEW POST on the blog today from Kinded Mom team me NEW POST on the blog today from Kinded Mom team member Robin Chapman. Robin's bringing her characteristic honesty and humor to today's essay, "Thanks, No Thanks, Pinkie Pie." ⁣ We have all been there, perhaps never more than now in this season of pandemic: trying to balance all the things and feeling like no one and nothing is getting your best self. ⁣ Robin writes, "So my children aren’t getting my best self. My work isn’t getting my best self. This dilemma reminds me of my kids’ hourly fights where everyone gets hurt and nobody wins. I feel bedraggled and guilty for giving everyone short shrift. I’m doing the best I can at all my roles, but what happens when “the best I can” kinda sucks? ⁣ I want to find a way to separate my realms, even if just a little, so they don’t intrude on each other constantly. I hate feeling forcibly disconnected from everyone all the time. I don’t expect to reach the oft-discussed “balance”—some unicorn homeostasis where my work is work and my home is home and everyone gets the best of me in their scheduled and well-defined slots. I just want…better." ⁣ Head to KindredMom.com to read the rest of Robin's essay today! . . . . . #honestmommin #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #mothersofdaughters #tiredmom #momlife #thehappynow #motherhoodtruths #preachingtoymyself #raisingstrongwomen #timeforcoffee #momsofinstagram #momof4 #lifewithlittles #supermommy #momtribe #mamabear #workingmom #wahm #sahm

Dear mom, just trying to get a cute photo with you Dear mom, just trying to get a cute photo with your kids at the apple orchard/ pumpkin patch... ⠀ I see you. ⠀ I mean, barely...because I’m looking through squishy toddler fingers stained by Cheetos. ⠀ And I’m feeling a little lightheaded because my children stopped wanting to use their legs while in the belly of the corn maze beast. ⠀ Not to mention the... sorry, hold on... FOR THE LAST TIME, WE ARE NOT BUYING A SODA. COME DRINK SOME WATER FROM THESE THERMOSES I’VE BEEN CARRYING AROUND ALL MORNING. ⠀ Sorry about that. What was I saying? Doesn’t matter, I digress. ⠀ Point is... Whether or not you snapped a good picture, whether or not you knew if the apple was ripe enough to be picked, whether or not the kids had a meltdown before it was all said and done... ⠀ Ya done good, mom.

NEW ESSAY on the blog today by Jacey Rogel (@jacey NEW ESSAY on the blog today by Jacey Rogel (@jaceyrogel), about how it felt as a mom to sit with a child through medical and educational evaluations. ⁣ She writes, "This isn't our first evaluation. This isn't the first time I'll be walking hand in hand with my child into a room full of professionals, the first time I'll have a complete stranger tell me there is something wrong with my child’s development. Yet I am terrified, shaking, and on the verge of tears. I know what they will say, the diagnosis, but in order for him to get into the free preschool program with therapy, I have to let him go through this again. ⁣ The room may be different and the therapists new, but I am no stranger to the feelings overtaking my body, mind, and heart. It is still frightening; I am still scared." ⁣ As we think about connection this fall, is it possible to connect with our children, even over shared anxiety and fear? ⁣ Head to the blog to read more from Jacey, or catch the audio version in the Kindred Mom Podcast feed. . . . . #specialneedsparenting #specialneedsmom #speechtherapy #specialneedschild #writersofinstagram #awanderfulchildhood #wanderlustkids #childhoodunplugged #kindredmemories #humansofjoy #unitedmotherhood #thehappynow #letthembelittle #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #sahm #joyfulmamas #writingmotherhood
I haven’t got it all figured out yet, but I’m I haven’t got it all figured out yet, but I’m beginning to realize: I tend to see every disagreement as an attack. Intellectually, emotionally, and rhetorically, I go to war. But insecurity cannot be my compass. Friendship won’t work if I always think I am right instead of trusting God’s wisdom. ⁣ Likewise, being a good mama isn’t about trying to control every decision and belief and direction of my children (or, worse, believing that I can, as if I am the Almighty). I love them, but I may not engineer (or even modify) them. ⁣ Motherhood and friendship—relationships and connections—become sick trees, if they’re overtaken by insecurity and fear. So, I’ve had to change my mind about how to do life in front of my children and how to bring God’s wisdom into my walk with friends. That's repentance, and it's the first step in the lengthy and dirty process of digging out unhealthy roots. --Jay Jones (@jacelya_jones) from her essay, "The Fruit-Bearing Tree," available to read now at KindredMom.com . . . . . #sahmlife #momtribe #womenencouragingwomen #wellwateredwomen #momstrugglingwell #dontmomalone #candidchildhood #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #motherhoodunplugged #mindfulmom #wellwateredwomen #risenmotherhood #centeringtruth #joyfullife #pursuewhatislovely #werisetogether #bedeeplyrooted #christianmom #faithfulmotherhood
“I endured six weeks of extremely long nursing r “I endured six weeks of extremely long nursing routines, having nursing consultants try everything from guards to teaspoons to help us, and at the end, I was left feeling like a failure. I was defeated and embarrassed by the amount of people who had seen me undressed and at my lowest with no progress to show for it until a new nurse came for a home visit. She let me cry and then told me I had put up a valiant fight and it was time to let it go.  ⁣ She could see in my eyes that I was not doing well and she gave me permission to just let it be. After six weeks of struggle, her affirmation that I was not a bad mom was the magic I needed. When I relaxed into that confidence, my baby suddenly started eating properly, sleeping through the night, and we moved back into our house. ⁣ It’s been eighteen years since those nights I spent curled up in the corner. I had two daughters after that son, and he’s now in his first year of college. I don’t rock babies anymore, but the depression never really left, and two years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder. ⁣ I didn’t know then how many nights I would spend crying in the dark, with or without a baby, but I think about that twenty-one-year-old girl often. ⁣ If I could go back and tell her one thing it would be this: go downstairs and wake up your mom.” —Jennifer Holmes (@jensnewsong), from her essay, “Cry, But Not Alone,” available to read now at KindredMom.com . . . . . #motherhood #mymamahood #momblogger #christianmom #momliferocks #bestofmoms #mamabear #momminainteasy #honestmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #honestmommin #momlifeunfiltered #newborn #newbornlife #realmotherhood #postpartum #postpartumsupport #postpartumdepresssion #maternalmentalhealth #fourthtrimester #newmom #breastfeeding #fedisbest

"It has taken me a long time to realize: strength "It has taken me a long time to realize: strength is tricky to pin down. When I think I am strong, inevitably some kind of situation pops up to humble me. (Motherhood 101.) When I think I am weak and just can't go on, I am surprised to get on the other side of some hard stuff to discover I've made it through…mostly in one piece. ⁣ I don't often feel strong, but I've come to learn that I am strong, and I think you're strong, too. I know you've come through some hard stuff (thank you very much, 2020). I'll bet you're more tired and more stressed than you'd like to be. But I also would be willing to bet that you've been making stuff happen for your kids. Meals. Snuggles. Whatever weird version of school you're doing right now.

NEW ESSAY on the blog today from KM team member Ja NEW ESSAY on the blog today from KM team member Jay Jones (@jacelya_jones), about what it takes to nurture healthy relationships with our friends and family. ⁣ So often, we frame "self-care" conversations about refilling our own tanks, and that's true and good. But what if we also approach self-care by considering what it takes for us to be the healthiest we can be, like a tree in a well-tended garden? ⁣ That's what Jay is pondering in today's essay, "The Fruit-Bearing Tree," available at KindredMom.com. . . . . . . . . . . #sahmlife #momtribe #womenencouragingwomen #wellwateredwomen #momstrugglingwell #dontmomalone #candidchildhood #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #motherhoodunplugged #mindfulmom #christianmom #jesusovereverything #faithblogger #shewritestruth #friendship #momfriends
Hey, all! It’s Robin—the one from Alaska who’s usually writing stories including the word “freaking” that could all be alternately titled, “Here’s the Crazy Thing One of my Kids Did Today and How I Survived.” I wanted to give you a little peek into the process of putting together Strong, Brave & Beautiful for you guys from my perspective. ⁣ First, I thought it would be easy. I mean, almost all of the content had already been written, so it’s just a matter of printing it out and stapling it together, right? I mean, maybe not the stapling part, but how hard could it be? This was clearly low-hanging fruit. We had some great essays hanging out in the hinterlands of our blog archives that the majority of you haven’t seen. I made a spreadsheet the night we discussed it with all the essays each team member had published on KM. It was a thing of beauty. (That’s the thing I do when I’m not writing stories about my Freaking Children—I manage data.) ⁣ Turns out, we’ve all evolved in the years since 2017 when Kindred Mom started putting out essays. Jenni and Emily had to hammer out an order, then It actually took several rounds of developmental edits, copy edits, proofreading (did you know there’s a difference between those last two? I did but didn’t know what, exactly) and then there was typesetting and marketing and I’m honestly not even sure what else. It’s a lot. ⁣ But also? Many hands make light work. This book represents probably thousands of hours (and that’s after most of it was written!) but it didn’t feel burdensome in general. I got to work hard with some really neat women on a project I believe will bring value to the world and hope to mamas like me, overwhelmed by crazy freaking children. And I learned that I really like copyediting and proofing. Melissa and I spent hours debating dribbles of ink and it was fun in the weirdest way. Five stars. Would recommend. #kindredmombook . . . . . #christianmom #hopewriters #risenmotherhood #christianmoms #faithfulmom #dailydevotional #butfirstjesus #stopdropandmom #ohheymama #herviewfromhome #momtomom #freeupmyinsta #momlifeblog #let_there_be_delight #hopewriterlife #exhalecreativity #writingcommunity #authorcommunity
