Though I couldn't have planned it like this, today's podcast interview turns out to be especially timely. I'm sure you would agree: This world is feeling very uncertain right now. The Coronavirus is continuing to spread, causing schools and business to close down, travel and other events to be cancelled, our economy to tank, and a whole lot of anxiety for people on a whole lot of levels. This is legit crazy town. In times like these, some of us (for example -- me)

Finding Passions to Fuel a Mom’s Soul {Episode 45 with Stefanie Gass}
If you're a mom who is ready to find more balance and explore ways to tap into your creative, passionate side, today's Boy Mom Podcast episode is for you. Tying into my current "What Moms Need Most" blog series, this episode is all about helping moms find what "fuels your soul". I didn't even realize how passionate I was about this until the interview began and my heart started pounding! (I even shared a few untold stories of my journey from full-time mom to blogger to
What Moms Need Most. Part V: Moms Need to find what Fuels their Souls
This is part 5 of the "What Moms Need Most" series. Read the Introduction to find out more about the series and to grab links to all of the posts so far! There was a time when I was home with three young boys. I loved them. I loved being a stay-at-home mom (most days ;).

Discovering the Gift of Lent as a Family {Episode 43 with Asheritah Ciuciu}
When you hear the word LENT, what comes to mind? Perhaps you have observed Lent for years, or you typically give something up (fast) for Lent. Or, if you're like a lot of us, you might have always thought of Lent as something merely "religious"... or like an old fashion ritual that is no longer relevant.

What Moms Need Most. Part III: Moms Need to Feel Good in their Skin
Motherhood is a season when we want so much to be present with our kids. To give them our full focus and to be free to laugh and play and run and wrestle with these little gifts. We want our minds to be concerned with what concerns our families. We want to plan meals and days around them. This is what we dream motherhood will be like. So, when a mom is preoccupied with her self… when she is constantly thinking about what she eats or how she looks…whether she has
What Moms Need Most. Part II: Moms Need Friends
Moms Need Friends is Part II of the "What a Mom Needs Most Series." (Read the introduction and find links to all of the posts in HERE.) ** This post is a bit lengthy because I tried to touch on *somanythings* about moms and friendship.

I don't think I have to convince you that friendship is important in our lives.

Hey Friends! Today I am doing something brand new on the Podcast! I'm reading you a piece of my own writing. And I hope you like it (because I really enjoyed doing it!)

So, though I won't be reading all of the posts in the series here, I decided that today's message was so special and foundational, I really wanted to share it!
