    48. Fun and Joy in Motherhood

    This week, Charity leads us in a really fantastic and needed discussion on practical ways to find joy in motherhood. There are a lot of reasons it can be hard to find joy as a mom. But there are also a lot of ways to help us change up that narrative and soak in the good things. What tactics do you use to help you find joy in your mothering journey? We'd love to hear!

    47. Mothering with Faith

    47. Mothering with Faith

    This week's topic is very dear to our hearts. We discuss what it means to mother with faith, and specific ways we try to do this. We also expand what we mean by faith - not just a strict religious definition. We know faith within families is so personal, and we know it looks different for everyone. What we hope is that you can glean some ideas on how to mother with your faith. We'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Hop on Instagram and let us know your stories @eyresisters.

Motherhood

As a young mom to 4 kids, I love listening to their different family dynamics and all the great ideas they have. It helps me ponder the kind of mother I want to be and gives me great ideas how I can do that!

Uplifting & energizing!

As a young mom trying to cultivate a home environment where learning and fun are had, I have found this podcast so enlightening! It makes me smile (& laugh) to hear about each sister and their different take on each topic. Whoever picks the podcast episodes is doing an awesome job—I have a whole note on my phone titled “in the arena thoughts” and I can’t wait to refer back to it when I have a question/idea about traditions, family culture, parenting, etc! ♥️ Your parents did a dang good job!
