This will be the week when you hear about thankfulness at every turn. In the US, we're celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday and it's the absolute best time to be reminded of how much we have to be thankful for. . . At our last Girl Scout meeting, we did gratitude exercises with our girls and explained why gratitude is so important. But how is being grateful different than being thankful? We use them interchangeably, but I see them very differently. . . Being thankful is important, but it's fleeting. I'm thankful when someone opens a door for me, gives me a smile, passes me back the divider at the checkout so I can start putting my own groceries up. Their gestures make me thankful, the deeper reasons make me grateful. . . I'm grateful for their thoughtfulness. I'm grateful for the kindness of others. I'm grateful to live in a country that has such things as dividers. Gratitude goes deep. Gratitude sticks around when the thankful moment has left. Gratitude is what you keep even when things aren't at their best. . . It's easy to be thankful when things are good, but it's gratitude that warms our souls when things aren't. Gratitude is our desire to feel what is light even when it's dark. Gratitude is the silver lining. Gratitude is thing that stops you dead in your complaining tracks and says, "You have so much. Remember that." . . On today's episode of the Mother Like a Boss podcast, I'm talking all about how to stay grateful even in the most stressful times because being grateful when the sun is shining is easy. Show some gratitude to the rain for a change, and see how your life changes. #motherlikeaboss #homemakerish
Yesterday on a video of mine, someone commented, "Either give me the tips now or shut up. What mom has time to watch a workshop when she's busy feeding a baby and cleaning?" This was a video inviting moms to a free workshop all about delegating to your family and learning to manage your home better. . . But she doesn't have time for that. She has enough time to be on Facebook and comment rudely to a stranger who did nothing more than show up in her feed, but she doesn't have time to invest in herself by watching something that could change her life and costs her nothing. . . While most people see someone like this as a troll, I don't. I see someone crying for help. I see someone begging for a way out of that place. I see someone stuck in perpetual victimhood, making excuses for why they can't change. I see a mom who doesn't know another way and who saw my video as a threat to the excuses she's been making. . . Being rude to someone online won't change your offline situation. Fighting for your limitations only means you get to keep them. I promise you, no one is going to come banging on your door, insisting you give up all of your excuses and limitations, robbing you of them forever. You want 'em, you get 'em. . . Every moment is a choice. We have the choice today to approach unknown and scary situations, or triggers that come up with a lack mindset or a growth mindset. We can say, "I don't have the time." or we can say, "How can I find the time?" We can say, "Nothing ever goes my way!" or we can say, "What can I do to make things go my way?" . . I'm here to serve the action-takers, even the reluctant ones. If today is the day you're ready to hang up your excuses or hurl them out the door with the smelly garbage, I'm waiting for you. . . #motherlikeaboss #stoptheexcuses #homemakerish
Kids say the (most embarrassing things ever that they’ve never said before but are only now saying while meeting strangers) things. . . Amiright?! . . Today on my Facebook page at 4pm Eastern, I’ll be going live with these two nuggets for a chat with the kids behind Mother like a Boss. They are going to give you the kids perspective and what it’s like growing up in a home where everyone’s help is valued and EXPECTED. . . But see, they are 11 and 5, so the conversation could easily divulge into a discussion about dragons, or Paw Patrol, or poop. Or butts. 🙄 . . So let’s do something fun today. Tell me the most embarrassing thing your kids ever said to a stranger, or a teacher, or maybe your judgy mother-in-law . . #motherlikeaboss #kidssaythedarndestthings #kidsareembarrassing #kidsaretheworst
Uncommon things that can send me into an anxious panic 1. The beeping sound of a card reader at Target 2. My cell phone ringing 3. Getting the mail 4. Checking my bank balance . For years, these things always meant one thing: We had no money and were being forced to confront that. The rejection of a card at a store for insufficient funds, the phone call from someone asking for money, a letter in the mail as a final notice or checking the balance only to see $1.67 in there. . We didn't set out to live a life like that. And it wasn't always that way. We had some super high highs, but very depressing lows that left us shaken and worried about our future. . I didn't want to be the business owner that became a statistic. I didn't want to have to ask for help. I wanted to thrive. I wanted to live in abundance. I wanted to go to bed every night feeling peace, not gripping and paralyzing fear about how to pay the bills. . Our lowest time felt a lot like this photo: loneliness. Sitting in the middle of the road, not being able to move, all alone, hoping someone would save us. We knew the car was coming and we needed to get out of the way, but we didn't know how and we felt strangled by fear and uncertainty. . These low times gave me empathy. They gave me understanding. They gave me pride in where we are now. I no longer have to sit in the middle of the road, lonely and unsure. Today, I'm the driver of the car. I can take myself wherever I want to go. I'm in control. I'm in charge. . So are you. . Today's podcast episode is my story, from pregnant college dropout to mom boss CEO. But really, it's a story about redemption and the power of asking for help when you need it. There is someone today that needs to hear this story. I hope that person is you. . 👉🏼 Click the link in my bio to hear more. ❤️
Yesterday, you forgot to give your son lunch money, and felt guilty all day. . Yesterday, you were too busy to make dinner and poured bowls of cereal instead. . Yesterday, you yelled at your toddler louder than you intended and made her cry. . Yesterday, you realized you tuned out when your oldest was telling you a story and can't remember when they said. . Yesterday, you locked yourself in the bathroom and cried in the shower. . Yesterday, you left 3 loads of laundry sitting in the living room, unfolded and watched Netflix instead. . Yesterday, your youngest told you he hated you and slammed his door in your face. . Yesterday, you felt like a bad mother. . But yesterday, you kissed your babies more times than you can remember. . Yesterday, you drove to school to drop off the lunch money you forgot. . Yesterday, you came out of the shower to find your daughter holding a beautiful painting of a sunset. . Yesterday, you stayed up all night with your toddler who was sick. . Yesterday, your son came out of his room, apologized and said he was sorry. . Yesterday, you sat down with your kids and laughed at the stories they told. . Yesterday, you were a good mother. . You aren't defined by one moment of motherhood. You'll fail, you'll fall, you'll do it all wrong. Then you'll learn and do it all right. . Yesterday you learned. Today, you'll do better. And your kids loved you equally both days.
My favorite color is fall. My favorite season is fall. My favorite food is fall. My favorite outfit it fall. My favorite kid is fall. Fall.
Recently, I read a post on Facebook that had me doubting what I do. And when I read it, I started to doubt that what I do is important enough to even keep doing. . The roles of women have changed over time and there are a lot of people out there that want to disregard the importance of "homemaking." In the moment I read that particular post, I started to think about all the serious ish going down in the world. Why does anyone care about how to set goals in their home, or clean, or help their kids to do chores? Why is this even important right now? . And as these stories usually go because God is always working some serious magic, I got a notification very soon after my descent into "I'm not good enough" madness. It was from someone in my group, someone sharing a win. . She saved me. . Because what the world needs now more than ever isn't more conflict. It isn't more stress. It isn't another news story that fills our heart with the burdens of sadness. . It's joy. And joy starts in the home. . We carry our homes with us everywhere we go. When we leave the four walls of our house, we bring what we've cultivated with us into society. We bring it with us to the grocery store, Starbucks, to work. What happens if what we're cultivating is chaos, stress and unhappiness. We bring that with us...wherever we go. . But what happens when what we cultivate on a daily basis is community, communication, consistency and compassion? Suddenly, we're in the world as a mom that's carrying that with her. . And imagine what we could do, what our kids could do, what our spouses could do in this world if we all carried a piece of our joyful home with us every place we went? . I'm here for the moms that aren't content to be discontent. I'm here to help you cultivate your home by managing your house. . I'm here for you. . If you're feeling overwhelmed today, if you're feeling the pull to quit, I'm here for you. . You can have a heaping spoonful of grace today, on me. . The world needs us to step us as women now more than ever. Our homes are the start. . Your walls don't make your home, you do. . We are the homemakers.
Today, I’m filled right to the brim with gratitude. . There was a terrible tragedy in our local area this weekend that rocked the community and even made national news. 20 people lost their lives and in an instant, a beautiful, fun-filled Saturday turned horrific for them and their families. . These events hit close to home because we feel the grief internally for those affected. We’re empathetic beings that feel for others, not only because we understand, but because we CAN’T understand and want to understand. . This photo was taken on Sunday, while we apple picked in the rain. We got wet. We were a little cold. And we’ve never had more fun. I could have complained. I could have cursed Mother Nature. Instead, I was just excited to be with the people I love that love me back, making memories that no one could ever take from us. . We don’t know what’s in store tomorrow. We don’t know when the perfect Saturday will turn into the worst day of our lives. So why not live with such gratitude that the present moment is literally the best thing to happen to us, every moment of everyday? . To those hurting today, to those whose weekend wasn’t filled with this kind of levity, know today I am thinking of you with a heavy heart and an empathetic spirit. ❤️
