Let Peace Begin With Me

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/12/23

Sometimes, I look back at certain Christmas photos of our family next to the Nativity scene after Christmas mass, and I feel a twinge of sadness, regret, or even bitterness because I know how painful getting that photo was. Whatever happened surrounding that photo was just hard, and those memories are forever connected to those photos. If you know what I'm talking about and would like to have a different experience this year with more peaceful memories, then I'm thrilled to share with you with a

MVP: Joyful Self-Sacrifice

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/12/16

Self-care gets a bad wrap, because it can be over-indulgent if you’re not careful. On the opposite end of the spectrum there is ‘offering it up,’ which, if done well, can be extremely powerful for God's good work. But, if used against yourself, being self-sacrificing could end in some deeply painful and harmful self-neglect. This tension between being sacrificial and taking care of yourself is often what causes mamas to stay head-down and task-oriented this time of year, instead of really resting

Becoming a Virtuous Mother

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/12/09

Do you ever feel like you're stuck looking at the crumbs and mess, feeling bombarded by the noise, and have zero drive to get up and keep going? Motherhood, and especially homeschooling, can start to feel like a hopeless endeavor if you're not careful and purposeful about what you choose to focus on. Whatever is the center of your focus is what will continue to grow. So, if you're focused on the things that feel bad and are 'going wrong,' then you'll inadvertantly create more opportunities for

The dream is a cozy and simple Advent, where we can be present and peaceful as we await Jesus' birth with joyful expectation. Unfortunately, between holiday preparations, shopping, music recitals, multiple family obligations, meal prep, and, oh yeah - every day life, Advent is often anything but the dream. In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing with you a few things to think about to simplify the next four weeks, in both your home and your homeschool, so that when you look back over this season,

2024/11/25

Between the litrugical calendar and the secular world, this time of year lends itself toward celebration and thanksgiving! It really can be such a wonderful, joyful experience. But what about when gratitude feels hard? When a blessing doesn't feel like a blessing or a gift doesn't feel like a gift? Instead of slapping on a fake smile through gritted teeth, wishing you felt better, I'd like to invite you to spend a few minutes with me today unpacking this emotion that we know we should feel, but

2024/11/18

It can be so hard to communicate with your husband, especially at the end of a long day, or in the middle of a tough situation. We need to have important conversations, especially when it comes to our family's budget, financial health, and look at the upcoming holiday spending. But how do you do that when, in the past, it's ended in anger, hurt feelings, and disconnection?

Raising Children Without Fear

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/11/11

Fear of the government, social media, bad influences, and misinformation are just some of the external fears we face as moms. However, it's the internal fears that tend to keep us up at night. Am I do a good enough job? Will they have what they need? Did I mess up too badly? Am I ruining them? With so many things to fear, it's easy for a mom to feel paralyzed with what to do and how to raise courageous kids in this bonkers world, especially if the mom isn't sure how to do it for herself. If that

How to Go Through the Holidays Intentionally

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/11/04

How much time do you waste beating yourself up every day? Or even how much money you spend on ways to feel better? Do you realize how much you invest in feeling bad? This isn’t a condemnation, most people do this completely unintentionally. And then, unintentionally, beat themselves up further for having done all of that and it becomes a vicious cycle and leads to getting stuck. And, unfortunately, during this time of year, it leads to sour memories and expanded waistlines. Which is why I want to

Maybe I Should Just Lower My Expectations

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/10/28

Do you ever just want to throw in the towel when your kid seems to prioritize everything else in the world, instead of completing their school work? Or when you catch them on their screens when they should be doing their chores? Throwing in the towel feels like you’ve failed and is the step right before sending your kids to the nearest public school. Since that doesn’t seem to be what God is actually asking you to do, you might think that a reasonable ‘solution’ might be to lower your expectations

Nurturing Your God Given Temperament and a VERY BIG...

2024/10/21

When I was a younger mom I wanted to learn more about myself, because I really wanted to change how I reacted (or overreacted as it were) to my kids, messy house, pretty much everything in my life. But I really resisted learning about the Four Temperaments, because it felt like I would be ‘put into a box’ that I couldn’t get out of. I didn’t like the idea of some test confirming my worst fears about myself and I was afraid there would be nothing I could do to change it. In this particular case,

The Difference Between Acceptance and Condoning

Happy, Holy Mama ·

2024/10/14

One of the biggest obsatcles to having more peace in your day is finding acceptance of uncomfortable and even painful situations you find yourself in. Especially when it comes to your kids. I can already hear you reply, "But I can't be okay with bad behavior! Or disrespect!" Or anything else that feels problematic right now. Like poor worth ethic, lying, politics, inflation, or just your husband's bad mood. And I totally agree, you don't have to be okay with those things! But being okay with

How to Save More Time in Your Homeschool Day

2024/10/07

Let me guess...rushing the kids to get their chores done doesn't seem to help. Nagging them to focus on their assignments doesn't either. And yelling...well that certainly doesn't get you any closer to getting out the door with all their belongings on time. So what does help? Grab your earbuds and let's talk about what you need to do (and what you need to let go of) in order to save time in your homeschool day today and How to Save More Time in Your Homeschool Day.

Connection and Clarity with Your College Bound Kids

2024/09/30

My husband and I recently took our oldest son on a couple of college visits to Catholic universities with the sport programs that he hopes to participate in. These visits went the way we’d expected them to, leaving with official offers from head coaches and significant academic scholarships to each. But the conversations we had with our senior along the way were what changed his ultimate trajectory and will likely lead to a better, richer college experience for him.

You might not think it's a good use of your time, but in today's episode, I'm going to share with you why I think it's one of the best ways to spend your time. Because when you can find the miracles in your life, especially in your past, then you'll have little to no trouble handing your (or your children's) future over to God.

You might be a homeschooler who doesn’t like to look too far ahead into the future, because it feels overwhelming to plan more than a few weeks in advance. If that’s the case, then, unfortunately, you might also be someone who struggles at the end of the year if you don’t up where you had hoped to in May. That’s because when you don’t think about what you want the end result to look like, then: You won’t know how to get there and You won’t know when you’ve arrived. So spending time at the

Acting As If vs Fake It Til You Make It

If you've ever spent the Sunday morning drive to mass dreading other people seeing your hot mess family and fuming that you're running late, you have probably tried to fake-it-til-you-made-it as you arrived. Likely to find that it didn't last long, because it just doesn't feel genuine and takes a significant amount of energy, that you probably just didn't have left. In today's episode, I'm going to share with you the difference between the fake-it-til-you-make-it mindset and the Acting As If mindset
