    Back to School Routines (Encore)

    If your children have recently gone back to school or your school year is about to begin, you're probably going through some of the same things we're going through. There are lots of emotions involved and new schedules to consider.  Some of us are redefining ourselves as we enter a new stage of motherhood. Join Saren and April as they share their own "back to school" stories along with plenty of practical tips for making the transition work for the whole family. The conversation includes: how to be present when our children are home (and how to get things done while they're at school). specific schedules we established in our own homes when we had preschoolers–and schedules we've established now with older children. questions you can ask yourself if you're redefining who you are and how you want to spend your time.

    Less Materialism and More Joy at Christmas

    At this time of year, it's so easy to get caught up in the letters to Santa, the hustle and bustle of getting gifts for our children, the parties, the events that we lose track of some of the most beautiful opportunities this season has to offer.   In this episode, Saren reads three chapters from our eBook called A Deliberate Mother's Guide to Holidays, Vacations and Quality Family Time. The first chapter shared is about how to help children get excited about giving simple gifts to each family member, the second is about easy ways to get your children involved in giving to needy children, and the third is about protecting time for stories at Christmas.  Visit poweroffamilies.com for full show notes.
