There’s so much pressure for moms to fit in a category of what type of mom they are, to “niche down.” Are they the homemaking sourdough baking mom? Or the fun, adventurous mom? One thing I’ve learned as I’ve settled into my role as a mother is that life, motherhood, doesn’t need a niche. We are nuanced, multi-faceted people, created by God for an abundant life. We can cultivate our homes, and chase adventure with our kids. Join me as I share our journey and chat with other moms about their unique journeys.

    Building a Godly Legacy

    Hey friends! On today’s episode I am sitting down with my favorite person, my husband, Seth, to talk all about building a Godly legacy. Just the other day he started an Instagram page called Rooted Legacy to encourage inspire and equip men to build Godly legacies through loving their wives and children well. I asked him to join me here on the podcast to share his heart behind the page and to share some of his insight on building, Godly legacies in our families from a man’s perspective.
