Hey Mama!
Are you worn out and working so hard in life but seeing no results? Or maybe you are seeing results but not fulfilled in those results.
Listen as we discuss John 15 and what it means to abide and rest in Jesus. John 15 says that the Father is the vinedresser and Jesus is the true vine. What does that actually mean? How does that help us busy moms?
When we learn to abide, or rest, in Jesus, let Him put the effort in, we will see the true rewards!

Hey Mama!
Imagine the alarm going off, you hit snooze, and before you know it your kids are running in your room to wake you up to make them breakfast, or your littles are screaming in their beds for you to come get them. So you crawl out of bed half asleep rubbing the dried sleep goop out of your eyes as you peel yourself off the bed and out of the room.
You rush to do your business in the bathroom grab the kids, pour yourself a cup of coffee that ends up sitting there getting cold and you have to reheat it 3 times before you end up dumping it in the sink or drinking it lukewarm for the unpteenth morning in a row. By the time the morning is done, you are running on auto pilot, no time to yourself, knowing how difficult the rest of the day may be if it goes like all the other days, and you are already looking forward to bed time.
Is this you? Has it been you? It’s so not fun to start your day like this. It CAN be better!
I used to let my kids determine my wake up time, and when I worked out of the house, I often times would still wake up around the same time as when I had to get my kids up. Those mornings were not fun. I was always rushing, whether I had to get the kids up and going and ready for school, while I got ready for work, or when I was working from home, if I let the kids determine my wake up time, I was rushing from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. Why is that?
When you start your day off with chaos, you are going to be in that mindset for the rest of the day, unless you are extremely intentional about getting out of that mindset, but it is often difficult to do once you are there.
You are playing catch up the entire time. Playing defense instead of offense, reacting to each situation, instead of being prepared. That is not an effective state to be in and will make you completely exhausted by the end of the day.
Starting with a morning routine, getting yourself in the right frame of mind instead of starting off with chaos, will make all the difference for the rest of your day.

Hey Mama!
Summer is coming to a close, but there is still a short amount of summer left! Let’s enjoy it with our kids! I have 5 steps to enjoy the end of summer on a budget leaving the stress of the school year transition behind.
As the summer comes to a close and you go through the preparations we discussed in episode 81 for the back to school transition, the kids may be having a difficult time, maybe they are getting bored a little more easily, or maybe they want to do some last hurrahs before the summer ends. Perhaps they have been spending a bit too much of their summer on electronics so mama can get her stuff done.
Perhaps you have spent too much money on fun summer stuff and you realize it’s time to crack down on the budget, but that means no fun last hurrahs before the end of summer. Then today is for you mama! Enjoy!

Hey Mama!
Are you in a waiting season? Having to trust God on a deeper level than you thought you would have to? Sitting, waiting, trusting, not knowing what comes next. We all have a waiting season, or lots of waiting seasons in our life. How are you waiting? Who are you trusting? What are you doing and speaking in the waiting?
God truly is a good God. When you experience His goodness, it’s no longer just a phrase we say in church. It gets your heart pumping and excited every time you say it because you know deep down what it means to say He is good!
Psalms 34:4-8 says:
"I sought the Lord and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him!"
Trust God, trust His goodness. What situation are you in right now? Trust in His goodness, when you are out of this, you are going to know, really know, how good God is, because you are going to get a taste for yourself!

Hey Mama!
Picture this, you pack up all your boxes, write what room they go in, you think you have it all figured out. But then you get to your new home and you have to open all the boxes that say kitchen, just so you can find the one that has the one with the coffee so you don’t miss your morning coffee your first day in your new home.
Now you have a bunch of opened boxes and no time to unpack them or sort through. Or you give up and go get coffee from a local coffee shop, come back home, and have to open all the kids rooms boxes because you can’t find little Maybel’s favorite stuffy. We can fix this! You can actually have a smooth move and transition into your new home without all the stress.
Moving doesn’t have to feel like chaos. The lead up to the move with all the packing, then the transition into the new home can actually be enjoyable. You may not be moving right now, but if you ever plan on moving again, or you know someone who is, this is going to be crucial for you to listen to and keep in your back pocket. You will need it!

Hey Mama!
Happy 4th of July! It is fun to be able to celebrate with so many friends and family but it often causes stress for us mamas. As a mom with all different age groups of kids, it can be hard especially when you are going somewhere other than your house.
So many things to gather and try to remember, getting the kids ready, what extra things do you have to take. Is it a pool party? Is it at the park? Is it someones house? Depending on where you are going you will need different things, then are you contributing by bringing a dish or two? It can be a lot.
Let’s talk about how to get out of the house with all your kids and necessary things in tact without feeling like the chaos ensue and make it to your outing on time without being a hot mess! During the summer we often have bbqs, birthday parties, pool parties and other special gatherings.
That's a fun thing about summer, but it can also be so stressful. Let me help you make it not so stressful, and maybe even a little enjoyable!

From overwhelmed with no time, to find rest and be a mindful mom - Get your JOY back!
Life is meant to be truly lived! Being a mindful mom means to be fully present in all those moments through the day. To actually LIVE in the moment, love your life (in every season). Your attitude will be peaceful, less yelling and frustration, you will live more intentional, and have time in the day to do what you love!
"Mindful: focusing one's awareness on the present moment." -Oxford Dictionary
