Are your Mom Fails Filling You with Shame and Condemnation?

July 9, 2019 by Inspired by Family Mag

Parenting in this day and age can feel overwhelming like a barrage of mom fails. Every now and then I pat myself on the back but the feelings of shame and the overwhelming notion that I'm not getting this mom thing right are my companions. Those moments when you mess up or as I have seen it called on social media #momfails are the things we have meticulously packed and stored in our hearts.  We walk around carrying the heavy load of shame like it was our savior but it quickly proves to be our … [Read more...]

Below I share our family's favorite books to read together.

Today we have a guest writer, Deb Ober, who is partnering with me as we journey together through the book Mom Set Free.

We feel judged when our kids throw a temper tantrum in the grocery store or hit another child in preschool. But more than that, we feel like we are failing at our most important … [Read more...]

Motherhood The Pressure to Be the Perfect Example

June 25, 2019 by Inspired by Family Mag

Motherhood the pressure to be the perfect example is something we can all relate to as we think about raising our children. I'm sure we can all relate to the fact that we have failed miserably in this area of trying to be the perfect example for our kids.

Calm Your Worry Filled Mind–Rehearse instead of Rehash

May 21, 2019 by Inspired by Family Mag

I didn't even realize it was happening. I hadn't noticed how worry and fear were taking over and robbing me of peace of mind. One night I started paying attention to why I couldn't fall asleep. I was shocked at what I discovered. I discovered I was a bully. No, I wasn't bullying anyone but I was bullying myself around. My self-talk was unreal. All of a sudden in my head I would turn on "Bossy Betty" and demanded to know why I didn't get things done and listed everything I did wrong. And … [Read more...]
