Toys: Less REALLY is More

March 18, 2020 12:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

Are you baffled as your children come up to you, yet again, exclaiming "I'm bored!" You respond, "But you have so many toys to play with, how could you possibly be bored?" Well, that just might be it. Research shows, there comes a point at which more toys does our children a disservice! There are too many options, they come across decision fatigue as they figure out what they want to play with. Thus, no decision is ever made.

Holiest Room of the House with Kathryn Whitaker

March 03, 2020 13:00 - 39 minutes - 27.2 MB

The master bedroom is the place in which our family first began. It also is our place to unwind and reconnect with our spouse after a long day. And with something as important as connection with our spouse, we should be putting the utmost importance on how we see our room. Our room should not be left to become the 'catch all' clutter monster (like mine has) nor the children's jungle gym. It is a place that should be left for the most important relationship in the household. Our marriage! ...

Prayer: The Duty of the Moment

February 25, 2020 11:00 - 17 minutes - 12 MB

Many mothers lament the fact that they can't 'get in' a daily rosary, or make it to adoration and daily Mass, or even just get 10 minutes to themselves for some extra prayer. But, we all have time to pray! We just need to pause and take a look at what it means to pray within our vocation. Our vocation as mothers! We are all called to be before God, then to do for God. And in this, we are called to be contemplatives.  But, not contemplatives in the sense that religious nuns are! No! We ar...

She teaches us the beauty in only writing down key points as bul...

Manipulative Words and Our Children

January 30, 2020 13:00 - 7 minutes - 5.39 MB

We love our children, more than anything. And we hope that every moment of their life they are aware of our great love for them. But sometimes our words tear them down rather than show our love. Listen in to bring awareness to one way in which you may be tearing your children down. After all, you can't stop the behavior if you are not even aware of it!
