Mornings can be stressful. Whether it be trying to get kids out the door to summer camp, out the door to school, trying to figure out the day, or just mentally dealing with the demands of kids first thing in the morning. I don’t know about you, but I need some time to mentally wake up and be prepared to deal with what comes my way. I am far more level headed, clear, kind, and patient when I have some time to myself. So how do we structure and manage our morning when we are missing the natural rhythm and structure of the school year? In this episode we will talk through three easy steps to create a successful summer morning routine. Grab that notebook, a pen, and your favorite beverage. Let’s get started!

It’s summer y’all! MayCember is crazy and then we get dropped into summer. It takes awhile to adjust and relax into a new schedule. Once things settle down, and we all settle into a more relaxed schedule our kids start whining that they are bored. Do you have that problem too? My son actually wrote his own list of 130 things to do when he was bored. He wrote them on several pieces of paper and then taped them to his wall in a long line. Mind you some of them were “ask mom when we can play video games” “ask dad when we can play video games” “annoy my sister” etc. This was a great idea and a helpful list at times. In this episode today we will cover our top ten boredom busters. Hopefully these will give you some ideas of fun tech free activities your kids will enjoy! If you have a notebook handy grab that if not just listen up. Let’s dive in!

We are heading into spring! As we do so I wanted to help us think about ways we could declutter not just physical spaces, but also mental and even emotional clutter. Oftentimes we focus on decluttering the physical things that we can see, but so often we need to declutter our mental spaces as well. It's easy to focus on the physical things because those grab our attention, but we also need to evaluate our mental clutter. An overload of mental clutter can lead to decreased productivity, exhaustion, overwhelm, and foggy brain. So if you are suffering from any of those symptoms or just need a little help doing a spring refresh then this episode is for you! In this episode we will walk through three steps to detox and declutter your mind. Grab that notebook, journal, or a planner and let’s jump in!

It feels like we all wear a badge of exhaustion and overwhelm as moms, whether we work full time, part time, or volunteer. If you ask anyone how they are doing they will probably say “crazy busy.” Our society values productivity, time management, goals, achievement etc. We all know that if we continue at this pace of more, more, more, it will just lead to burn out: physically, mentally, socially, spiritually, or emotionally. So how do we stop the merry-go-round if we still need to actually do all the things? In this episode we will talk through the signs of burnout, how to stop the merry-go-round, and how to fit in the things that light us up so we don’t burn out!
