    How Do You Rest When THere's Always A Million Things To Do?

    Ever feel like you have to finish everything on your to-do list before you can finally sit down and rest? Same, friend.  After a jam-packed September left me running on empty, I realized I had gotten so out of the habit of resting that even sitting down to watch a TV show felt uncomfortable. That’s why today we’re talking about why rest can feel so hard, especially for busy moms who are used to getting things done, and the four beliefs about rest I needed to challenge.  I’m sharing five tiny tweaks to help you make rest a regular part of your routine, even when life feels full, from checking your capacity and making rest ridiculously easy to putting it on your to-do list, learning to leave things undone, and taking responsibilities off your plate by sharing the mental load with your family. Because as we head into the busy holiday season, I don’t want us to spend all our energy making the holidays happen for everyone else and have nothing left to enjoy them ourselves.  Your challenge? Choose one thing you can leave undone today to make room for 15 minutes of rest, and see what happens when you stop waiting for everything to be finished. Remember, friend, you don’t have to overhaul your life to love it. Sometimes, one tiny tweak is all it takes! 🌟We’re here to help you live a life filled with intention and joy.

    Saving Graces Fall 2026: 5 Things Making Life Easier & Lighter

    What are my five saving graces lately? From a cozy new show and a snack I can’t stop eating to simple systems that keep our homes running, I’m sharing five little things that have been making a big difference in my everyday life.  I’ll share why having systems that work even when Mom isn’t available can be such a game changer, how making room for quiet and margin helps us process the constant input coming at us, and why we should celebrate our effort rather than waiting for the outcome we want. Plus, I’m sharing a little treat I booked for myself to celebrate finishing my book manuscript and how that mindset shift has changed the way I parent, too. Because sometimes, it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference, and you don’t have to overhaul your life to love it!

    What I Wish I Knew Sooner as a Sports Mom with Beth Wentz, Mom of an NFL Player

    What happens when the life you thought you were going to live takes a completely unexpected turn? That’s exactly what happened to my longtime friend Beth with her family’s incredible journey from foster care to adoption, raising six kids, and learning to trust God in the middle of it all.  We’ll talk about the world of youth sports, the pressure, the politics, the identity kids can attach to their sport, and how we can help our kids remember that they are so much more than an athlete. Beth shares what she wishes she had known sooner, why she encourages her kids to pursue multiple interests, and how their family has learned to prioritize faith, family, and the things that matter most, even when it means disappointing a coach.  We also talk about the beautiful lessons sports can teach, the importance of showing up, and how to support kids through both the wins and the losses. Plus, Beth shares more about Dream Big Honduras, the mission she and her husband started to help remove barriers to education for kids in Honduras. This is such a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, adoption, sports, and trusting God with the unexpected, and I hope you walk away with a tiny tweak (and maybe a little encouragement) for your own family!
