A mom, wife, Gigi and Jesus follower. I have 6 kids and 7 grandkids and counting and have homeschooled and run a big household for years. My biggest win is that all of my kids love Jesus and most days still like me! I have loved being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything, however, being a mom can be hard, and I found myself struggling over the years with stress, overwhelm, parenting challenges, relationship strain, fear and worry ALL while trying to keep my household running. I found that by asking for help and encouragement from older moms, praying fervently, and trying and failing A LOT, the Lord equipped me to have more confidence, effective routines and strategies that gave me better relationships and more peace in my home and heart. I am here to encourage you, to share things that worked for me, to lighten your days amidst all the hard, to keep you sane and from throwing in the towel, the good Lord knows we already have enough laundry. I'm here to help YOU manage your big family better! So if you are ready to be encouraged, say good-bye to overwhelm, get practical tips for running your big household, create solid connections with ALL your people, and, girl, we are going to laugh a little- this podcast is for you!! So pop some headphones in while you sweep, meal prep, and fold yet another basket of laundry and let's do this! I would love to see you in my Free, Private, Facebook Community!
