  • "Lately, a few people have asked why I haven't written anything in a while. And while I'd like to come up with a really clever reason, the truth is I've been busy being a mediocre, grouchy mother."⠀ ⠀ Today, we're continuing on with our series on Freedom in Motherhood, with a post from @amyganz, who is mom to this cutie-pie and his 2 brothers.⠀ ⠀ Amy's words are for you today if you...⠀ ✔️have been feeling a little grouchy or a bit mediocre lately⠀ ✔️ have felt like you needed a good cry, but would rather have a good laugh⠀ ✔️ need a reminder that Jesus is there in the mess with you⠀ ⠀ Head to the blog for more, and know that we are right there in the trenches with you!⠀ ⠀ ⠀
  • We mamas know that we aren't always greeted by sweet smiles in the morning (neither the kids' or our own). We loved Becky's honesty in this post and the fact that she made a point to capture and appreciate this sweet moment when it happened.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Repost from @bcampos1730⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Anywhere between 4-7am, our kids make their way to our bed. Some mornings they wake up super early. Some mornings they wake up upset. Some mornings they wake up hungry. Not this morning. This morning I woke up to snuggles, kisses and smiles. It’s truly one of the best feelings in the world. ☺️❤️ #gratefulheart #mydaughter #lovehersomuch #justalittlelonger #2yearsold #toddlerlife #momlife
  • NEW POST on the blog today! ⠀ ⠀ Kids don't go around giving gold stars to their moms for patience and good snacks. How do we remain encouraged in our motherhood, even if we aren't getting validation and affirmation? ⠀ ⠀ We're continuing in our "Freedom in Motherhood" series with this essay from @lindseycornett, "A Mom's Search for Validation." Lindsey writes about how validation is Head to the blog at KindredMom.com to read Lindsey's thoughts. For her, it comes down to remembering where her value comes from.⠀ ⠀ Where do you land on this?

  • We are passionate about #selfcare around here.⠀ ⠀ It's not just that it feels nice to be pampered, or even that you deserve it (though you do). It's because self-care is one of the ways we acknowledge that our productivity is not the answer. ⠀ ⠀ When you pause to care for yourself, you acknowledge that there is more to you than busyness, problem-solving, and meeting other people's needs. ⠀ ⠀ Self-care gives us a bit of breathing room and white space, in which we can dig past the urgent to care for our souls at deeper levels. ⠀ ⠀ Just a little reminder as you continue moving into a new year. 💜 Thanks to @sarahdamaska for this wisdom.⠀ ⠀ (If this resonates with you, remember that our self-care planner is always available in the resource section of our web site!)⠀ ⠀
