Brave. When you hear that word, what comes to mind? Would you consider yourself a brave Mom? One of my greatest desires as a Mom is to raise godly kids. That is the reason I chose the workshop titled “Raising Heroes: Becoming Brave Moms to Godly Kids.”

What is your marriage like? Is it average or amazing? Your marriage can get to amazing in five steps. Today's blog post is about the third workshop I attended at the Hearts at Home conference. It was called 5 steps to an amazing, mind-blowing marriage and led by Julie Baumgardner.

Discipline. Just hearing that word may frustrate you. It’s hard to discipline our kids. Each kid is different and there is a variety of ways to discipline. But, it’s something that must be done. At Hearts at Home, I attended a workshop called Discipline that Connects with Your Child’s Heart. It was led by Jim and Lynne Jackson. Today, I will share some points from the workshop.

Marriage is a beautiful gift but it can also be difficult. Maybe you can relate? A real marriage is one where each person is being perfected. The second workshop I attended at the Hearts at Home conference was No More Perfect Marriages. It was led by Mark and Jill Savage. I learned so much and am excited to share it with you.

What kind of legacy are you leaving for your kids? Our greatest calling as a parent is leaving a spiritual legacy for our kids. How do we do this with the culture we live in today? There is hope! The first workshop I attended at Hearts at Home was led by Dr. Jim Burns. The title was Teaching Kids Lasting Morals and Values. Dr. Burns started the workshop by sharing the crises our youth face today. Despite the crises, there is hope! In this post, I will share some points from the workshop about how we can make a difference in our families.

Would you consider yourself a kind person? Are you characterized by kindness? I want to say that I am. After hearing Shaunti Feldhahn speak this past Friday, I began to wonder how kind I really am. Shaunti spoke during the first main session at Hearts at Home. She shared so many wonderful thoughts. In this post, I will share a few.

Do you feel tired, worn out and ready to throw in the towel? Maybe you wonder when you will catch a break. As women, we are always on the go managing many tasks and taking care of people. Too often, we forget to take care of ourselves. But, this is something we must do.  Here are three ways to take care of YOU.

“And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him.” Matthew 28:9, NLT If Jesus was coming towards you right now, how would you react? Maybe you would start asking a lot of questions or maybe you wouldn’t even be able to speak. The response of two women in the Bible, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, challenged me this past Easter morning. They did three things when they saw Jesus. Run, grasp, and worship.

Have you ever wondered how to be a good friend? Or maybe you have given up on friendship because it is just too hard. Wherever you stand on friendship, I think you would really like Never Unfriended by Lisa-Jo Baker. Here are three reasons why.

It’s Easter in five days and I haven’t done a thing with my kids. Easter came fast for me. Maybe you can relate? Easter is my favorite holiday of all time yet I haven’t taken time to reflect on the significance of Easter or even help my kids reflect. It’s in these moments that I have to remember that a little is still a lot.
