What We Learn from Our Kids {Podcast Episode 25, with Updates and a giveaway}
Hey Friends! Today I am sharing the an Aloha Friday Episode…which will be the last Friday edition of the podcast for 2019. In it I’m sharing WHY this is the last Friday episode. ( mostly because I’ll be spending much of the next 2 months traveling with my son Luke for surf contests — and all the FUN details are in this episode!)
Today’s topic is drawing from a blog post I just published, which was inspired by time reflecting on my oldest sons and all I have learned from being a BOY MOM for 20+ years! 🙂 Click on this link to find my list of “25 Things I have Learned from Raising Boys.” I hope it offers you some encouragement and inspiration for embracing your boys in whatever season they are in!

I’m a mom/bonus mom to 6 boys—ages 23, 18, 17, 16, 15 and 10! 😜 We’re the all-boy Brady bunch—currently drowning in the teenage phase.
I know God has a sense of humor and wants to make sure my dependence is always 100% on Him!
I’m so thankful to find your blog and I’m praying daily that God will enable me to be the mom He created me to be and protect my kids from needing too much therapy later in life!! 🤣 Thank you for being a light to all of us blessed enough to be in the ‘Boy Mom’ club! ❤️

Hi Monica,
I just love your podcasts and your blog. I have subscribed to your blog for about 6 years now. I have two teenage boys and I just love all your words of wisdom, encouragement and advice with the biblical basis (so often I feel like I am doing this mom-thing all wrong).
I am a little slow in adapting to technology and although I received your emails about your podcasts, I only started listening to them last week. (My pastor had to show me where I to find podcasts on my phone 😉 ) but I am now up to date (Yay!). I have loved listening to you, all your guests and your boys (and of course your podcast with Dave).
Thank you once again and all the best to Luke for his upcoming competitions. So exciting that he has been selected for these two amazing competitions. Safe travels and God bless you!
Thank you so much Desire’!
Well done getting up to speed with podcasts!! (it took me a while too and now I’m hooked. ;))
Big hugs and blessings to you — love that you’ve been around for so long and we are growing together!
Keep in touch please!

Love this community of resources, inspiration and truth. You, your book, your podcast, your blog… that are all such a blessing to me. Thank you for following your passion and pursuing your God given gifts to inspire moms around the world. I look forward to your new episodes and emails every week.
I’ve been listening to your podcast since the beginning and have really been encouraged as I parent my son. On this podcast, I loved hearing that you have BSF in your background. I have learned more about the Word and God from BSF than any other studies I’ve done. I hope you LOVE your trip to Waco. In addition to Magnolia, you may want to check out Spice Village – great shopping with really cute merchandise. Ninfa’s also has great Mexican food. Thanks for sharing your heart with us!

I subscribed a few weeks ago and have loved listening to all of your podcasts. I have 3 boys under 7 and this has helped me be more patient with them and taught me different parenting techniques to help bring more joy into our family. I’m also so happy to find a podcast that is centered around our Heavenly Father!
I am a new subscriber and listener and now follower. I have been dealing with some issues with my son who happens to be my nephew that I adopted when he was about 2. He is now a preteen and I have never been more confused and frustrated and worried. A friend of mine sent me a link to your podcast and wow what an inspirational eye opening experience. I truly believe that not only will I benefit from listening but so will my son. Thanks so much for being so transparent and sharing your stories.
I subscribed!! Love your books, blog and podcast! I can’t believe I wasn’t already a subscriber! I’d love to win a copy of Boymom to be able to gift!
