My last Coffee Date post was last fall, and I just don't have a good explanation for that. After years of blogging 3-4 times a week (I REALLY DID THAT!) I
Where the (Character) Magic Happens. And Happy Podcast Birthday! {Episode 108}
Aloha! This week we celebrate TWO YEARS of the Boy Mom Podcast! (how could that be!?) And this week's short, solo episode feels like the perfect way to celebrate... You hear me talk about character a lot around here, but some of you may feel like I did when I was a younger mom: I heard so many of the more seasoned moms talking about "just focus on your child's character" and oftentimes it seemed so vague and confusing. What did that even mean? 😉 Did it mean don't

Holy Week Check in (and Poem) with my Son, Josiah {Episode 99.5 😉}
Holy Week with my son, Josiah Hi friends! Happy Holy Week. ❤️ As excited as I have been to share my 100th episode on the podcast, (which will be nothing short of a party 😉) it did not feel right to share it on Holy Week. 😌 I am personally trying to trim back my week, slow down, and even quiet down a little this week. With that in mind, I decided to instead share: "Episode 99.5" -- (which sounds a bit like a radio station! haha) but it's a mini-episode to
