God has designed women so different from men and although sometimes the hormone ups and downs that we face each month can feel more life a curse... it really can be our superpower IF we are willing to work with it! I never thought about the fact that our society pushes the 9 to 5 daily "rinse and repeat" cycle while woman don't work that way naturally. Today I want to chat about how we can link our phases to our life activities within homeschooling and homemaking. I believe God wants us to enjoy life. He made us to thrive not just survive! So it is time to work with our beautiful design rather than fighting against it. Here is a link to help you dig deeper into cycle syncing...

Peace is something that God promises and yet we can get in our own way and this feeling of peace can seem evasive! I've been feeling stuck in the ways I deal with my children and life in general.

What do we do when we run out of steam in parenting? I love to dip apples in Nutella but once the jar is empty, no matter how much you keep scraping, your apple will come out bare.... our patience and ability to parent gently has limits and we have to find ways to change our patterns to get rid of the "Momster" because that is not what God wants for our families.

One of the biggest arguments against homeschooling is ALL that the kids miss out on but I would like to spin that and today let’s talk about what they actually are "missing out on"! I would love to thank Toups and Co. for working with me in today’s episode. I started using Toups and Co.s Lavender Extra Strength deodorant and their eyeliner and fell in love with the products. They are made from organic ingredients like tallow, aloe vera and cold-pressed olive oil. They never use synthetic chemicals, GMOs, toxins, fillers, artificial colors or fragrances. And for that I am so thankful! No one is going to protect our bodies and our babies for us. It is up to us to do what we can.

I have been on the struggle bus! I have been trying to find the perfect schedule to get everything done that I want and need to accomplish because in life isn't that what success is made of? Checking everything off the list?  This week I want to chat about why it can be so hard to find the perfect schedule and what I believe true success is. Because altough it is important to get things done and to be productive for our families, there is a bigger focus that we can often overlook. I apologize for taking the month of September off. It actually wasn't part of the "plan" but life sometimes takes over and true to todays episode I've been trying to focus on what matters more; my time with God, being present with my family, and focusing on my health. But I am back and I hope to stay :) I have a our 2024 Planner in the works and can't wait to share that with you!

After taking a few weeks off due to illness I felt this episode made a lot of sense. We are all struggling to find balance in the chaos of new seasons and new life chapters, but we have to realize the importance of caring for our self and I don't mean in a selfish "me time" type of way. Yes, there are things that we should do for our own enjoyment as well as our own sanity but today I want to focus on how we can turn our basic health around. I am not a health expert and the last thing I want to ever do is work out so lets talk bare minimum! I wanted to thank MONAT Hair, Skin and Wellness for working with me in todays episode! If you are looking for a more natural solution to your product line up, then Monat is where you need to be. I've been using their products for over 4 years and love the results! This round of postpartum really wreaked havoc on my hair, worse then any of my other babies. I truly believe that had it not been for Monat's Clinical Intense Repair hair product line, I would be bald! Their goodies are super concentrated and last forever plus they are safe. In a world full of toxic junk, we need to find the few shining stars that are actually good for us to use.

All to often we find ourselves wrapped in this idea of "wouldn't it be nice if..." and we create these picture perfect ideals of what life should look like, rather than appreciating what we have been given.

How does motherhood relate to the Israelites walking through the desert? Yeah, I asked that question too during my Bible recap this past week and to be honest, I got stuck trying to understand the correlation God wanted me to see. But thankfully the lightbulb turned on the other day and it started to make sense! No matter what season of life you are in, God wants us to thrive not survive; so I hope that this message can be an encouragement for you this week! As always thank you so much for joining me each week! Life with a newborn and 5 big boys has definitely presented me with more challenges than I anticipated but we are working through it each day. Thank you for your patience when my episodes don’t always air the same day each week. We are still trying to find our groove and that takes time and grace. We love to hear your thoughts on each episode; not only is it encouraging to me but it also helps this message spread to more ears. So make sure to leave a comment and a rating!

Homeschooling is not meant to be public school done at home! There is a mindshift that has to take place when you start homeschooling. Often we see these pictures on pinterest and we watch these families on youtube and they seem to have this homeschooling thing figured out! This can give us great ideas of what we want our "setup" to look like but all to often it sets us up for unrealistic expectations that don't mesh with our family or the way we do life. So today lets chat about our family and our goals within homeschooling because we don't have it figured out, but we are learning and that's the important part!

I never want my boys to regret being a part of a larger family! I never want them to feel like they were overlooked or that I didn't have enough time for each of them; and that can be a challenge when there are 5 soon to be 6!

Growing a family isn't always as easy as ABC... Sometimes it comes with a lot of heartache and trauma. Today I want to touch on a few of those harder topics because I want you to know that you are NOT alone! I see you, I can relate (to some extent), and you are allowed to ask questions. We are blessed to have a kind and understanding God that doesn't hold it against us when we ask "why?". He wants to be our comfort in those trying times; if we will just let him. We cover some heavy topics today and I wanted to share a few resources if you are dealing with any of those areas... Resources for Loss - Resources for Loss | Postpartum Health Alliance Resources for Special Needs - Online Support Groups for Parents of Children with Special Needs (stephensplace.org)   And for those in that current state of growing families...

Have you ever looked at grapevines? Each fall/winter they are pruned so that there is almost nothing left. Each spring new branches come forth and are fruitful. If they were let to grow wild on their own, chances are the branches would grow into each other, get tangled and mangled to the point where the plant isn't as fruitful as it could be. Our lives are the same way. God wants to prune and cut things out so that his fruit and flourish! Thank you Snook's Lawn and Landscaping for being this episodes sponsor!

One of the best things we can ask for is wisdom! Motherhood is full of challenges and we can't allow our emotions to get the best of us! Asking for wisdom to make daily as well as life changing decisions for our families is essential. So today let's chat about what wisdom really looks like.

I feel like there is A LOT in this episode so if it seems to wiggle wall all over the place, I promise there is a point! The boys and I saw the most amazing rainbow the other evening and it was such a reminder that God has created so much beauty in the world from the small worm that crawls up from the ground to the rain showers you can watch roll in from the distance. No matter how seemingly small and insignificant things are, there is a purpose! You have a purpose! And God wants us to fufill our callings with integrity!

Mommy needed a time out... I went out on our back porch in the dark evening and sat alone. I cried my frustrations out for God to hear. How could I do this? Here I am 18 weeks pregnant with baby #6 and I can barely handle the emotions of my 5 and 3 year olds! Clearly I was not cut out for this... I will never be enough! If you have had those same thoughts, then this episode is for you! We all have bad days but when Satan starts attacking our feelings of worth and "enoughness" we can't sit back and just take it!

Have you ever felt like there are days where the junk just keeps mounting? Like there are days where you just can't get above the water line to take a breath? Have you ever thought about how those days may be Satan playing with you? In the last few years, Satan has gotten really good at playing off of our fears, and food insecurity is one of those areas... Today I want to chat with you about facing your walls like Joshua and learning new things to over come those fears!

How many times do we approach God with our well thought out plan trying to convince Him that our plan is the best option!? We need to make sure that we are aligning our goals to what God's goals are for us not the other way around. We need to make sure our life camera is focused so our picture perfect life isn't blurry.

Say it with me... "You don't have to do EVERYTHING!"  How many times do we tell ourself we have to get EVERYTHING done? How many times do we beat our self up because we don't get to everything? How many times do we expect our bodies to work when we push them beyond what they should be doing? Let me share my perspective... WAY TOO OFTEN! Mixing homeschooling, homesteading, oh and being pregnant with #6 I am just as guilty as the next. I have a hard time asking for help or admitting that I can't do it all! It is time to normalize, functional living! Make sure to check out www.mypillow.com and use the code ROOTEDIN for up to 66% off your next purchase!

Sometimes we lose track of who we are suppose to be competing with... When we stand in front of God on Judgement Day, He is going to ask us if we were the best We could be. He is not looking to compare us to those around us. We need to focus on being the Best Us! Thank you Rohrer Seed!
