    Christian Encouragement for New Moms

    May 16, 2020 /

    I’d love to share some encouragement for new moms that I’ve learned along the way because we all feel a little alone as moms sometimes. Motherhood can be overwhelming and isolating. But we don’t have to feel like we’re the only ones in our situation. We’re not all in the same boat, but we’re all in the same storm. I’ve heard that said many times about the current virus situation, but it’s so true about parenting. And I want you to know you’re not alone. My biggest encouragement for new moms is that no one is totally prepared for parenting. You’re not doing it wrong (at least not any more…

    How to Be a Peaceful Parent When You’re Overwhelmed

    April 27, 2020 /

    Do you want to be a peaceful parent? I know I do! Becoming a peaceful parent is the fervent desire of my heart. But it is not the default setting of my nature. And is especially challenging when I am overwhelmed! Nothing reveals our sin nature more than our families with whom we let down our guard and unfortunately, too often take for granted. We are at our most comfortable and vulnerable in our own homes. It is there we are tired, sick, weak, stressed, and do not put on the mask of calm competence that we often wear in public. Unfortunately, being vulnerable and comfortable, also makes us vulnerable…

    A Christian How to Talk to Your Kids About a Crisis

    March 21, 2020 /

    Knowing how to talk to your kids about a crisis is hard. I don’t want to scare her unnecessarily, but I do want to equip her with truth. And that is the best thing we can offer our kids as Christians, the truth. Because while the world panics, we have reason to hope and trust in a good God who loves us. Romans 5:5 ESV And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Why you have to talk to your kids about a crisis – It’s really tempting not to. However, the world…

    Helpful Advice for a New Homeschool Mom from a Veteran

    March 18, 2020 /

    My best advice for a new homeschool mom is GRACE and patience. Be gentle with yourself and your kids. This homeschool gig is not easy. Expect an adjustment period. I’ve been homeschooling since 2012 if you include pre-school. And we still have days it’s really hard. I’m a veteran educator with 17 years in the classroom. I often joke that teaching one unruly 4th grader is a million times harder than 150 high school students ever was. And I’m kind of not kidding. Teaching your own child involves many different dynamics, like obedience and discipline have to be balanced with family relationships and math. You and your child(ren) need time…
