Embrace Your Everyday podcast

Although life is full of highs and lows, more time is spent in those in-between moments. Determining how to spend your time on any day takes intentionality. This podcast is about doing the small everyday things which enable you to do the grand things in your marriage, home and family. Live a life you will remember. Invest your days in things that will last longer than you. Remember, your life is not a dress rehearsal. If you delay doing what is important, you might never have the chance to really do what you want to do.

    Ep. 154 5 Things I Know About Heaven

    "I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find til' death, I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and to help others to do the same." - C.S Lewis  Perhaps you have felt like you do not fit here on earth. As a Christ follower we were made for our home in heaven. A profession of faith is not a guarantee of a possession of faith. Part of keeping heaven focused thinking is to know the truth and joy of what is ahead for those who choose heaven as their eternal destination. More on our FAITH: What is a Christ Follower?

    Ep. 152 Snowflake Babies - Embryo Adoption with Leslie Hollowell

    Now in its fifth decade, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other reproduction technology have been the answer to many people's prayers for a family. However, this success has led to an excess of frozen embryos. Nearly 1.5 million babies are in a frozen orphanage. Many biological parents store embryos for further use. When parents have completed their families, they have to decide what to do with the frozen embryos. Donating them to an infertile couple is a popular option. Fertilized babies can be given for adoption through the National Embryo Donation Center. Leslie Hollowell shares her story of embryo adoption and the gift of her son Hudson. For more information Embryo Adoption, contact the National Embryo Donation Center.   Inspiration on HOME and FAMILY @www.nurturingmynest.com   Empty Arms: A Journey of Infertility, Miscarriage and Children The Value of a Mom Loving on Moms With New Babies   Thank you for SHARING this podcast!!!

Leslie has been on a journey that has continued to prove God's faithfulness. Young people have gravitated toward Leslie because of her kindness and keen sense of listening. With a thought toward pulling up the weeds of lies and planting the seeds of truth, Leslie works to impact young people for God.

    Ep. 148 Prepping for Preschool

    While preparing for preschool seems optional for the summer or the school year, it is vitally important. Don't waste the preschool years by limiting your little one to entertainment options. Maximize the season of learning that those early years bring. Preschool years are ripe learning years. Secondly, if you don't have a plan to keep the little ones busy, they will be underfoot when you are working with your older children or doing some needy domestic work. Teach them key memory work. Engage them in tactical skills. Guide them to delight in the world around you. Let's explore a number of ways to optimize and nurture some of your little one's best years!

    Ep. 147 You Can't Make Me, But I Can Be Persuaded

    Speaking as a parent of a strong-willed child (SWC), I can communicate as one has been in the trenches. The wonderful part of this is that I can confirm that this child is likely intelligent and full of potential. While parenting this personality can be altogether demanding, frustrating and intensely maddening. It also gives you a front row seat to a highly driven, strong individual. Consider your words and actions carefully. This podcast offers hope and encouragement and some practical tools.  More on this topic at www.nurturingmynest.com   More on CHILDREN:  Ep. 60 A Silent Tragedy: How We Are Raising Our Children Ep. 94 Teaching Your Child to Serve: Spiritual Formation @ Home Only 18 Summers Eo, 80 Birth Order  Ep. 144 The Heart of ANGER: Practical Help for the Prevention and Cure of Anger in Children
