Your Big Happy Family l Homemaking, Homeschool, Parenting, Big Household, SAHM

Are you wondering if your teen still likes you? Are you wanting to parent sooo well but feel like there's a disconnect? How do i let them grow up and still parent effectively?
I've asked these questions many times and felt so stressed and overwhelmed at the state of my teen relationships! Then, God plopped this book in my lap! What a gift it has been! I am sooo excited to share my favorite parenting book with you! It has sharpened and greatly improved my teenage parenting game immensely, made so much sense and allowed me to better my relationships with my teens and adult children. Tuck it away if your kids aren't teens and get it and read it ALL if they are! 
Much love,
Heather

Are you not feeling like yourself? Low energy, tough periods, fitful sleep, hair falling out and more!? Do you have no idea what to do to fix it? Soooo much information and protocols from well-meaning professionals and influencers on social media! Not sure where to start?
Well, Mama I've been there too, about 17 yrs ago. I sifted and trudged through much of that information and figured out what helped and what didn't! I'm here to share this with you. It's not medical advice, just real-life experience from a metabolically stressed mama! I really hope this foundational information blesses you, gives you a place to start, and gives you renewed strength and energy to fuel your God-given gift of motherhood!

Are you confused about how to actually be and stay healthy? Are you not feeling as well as you want to be and not sure why?
I had these same thoughts years ago when my health crashed. In this world of Influencers, Wellness trends and misinformation it took me years of research to figure out how to support and bring healing to my body! I'm still not perfect, but who is? But i am so grateful for the truths i learned that have helped me and so many others! 
So today i share Part 1- Warning signs that your body is struggling. Next week we will tackle what to do! Thanks for being here!
 
Much love,

Are your chore routines not working? Are you exhausted from all the housekeeping that fills your day? Do you struggle to figure out how exactly to let the kids help?
I did too, mama, but eventually I found some rhythms that helped me keep up with everything in my home and reasons why i should be letting my kids help more! Today I plan to share with you why it is sooo important to let your kids work alongside you, age-appropriate chores, and systems that i used in my home to stay on top of our Large Household. 
Much love,
Heather

Is your home hard to manage, Mama? Do you have trouble keeping up with all the stuff to clean, put away, organize? Do you dread having friends over because you need a whole day to clean it up?
I have felt all these things too over the years of homemaking and homeschooling. Household Management is not easy especially with a Large Household!  I so wanted to have friends and family over but often struggled to have the energy to make my house company ready. I also felt more stressed when the house was a mess!
Over the years, i figured a few things out that really helped me to stay on top of my home, be company ready in less time and enjoy a well-kept, peaceful home. I look forward to sharing them with you today. Don't worry, it's not a new bin organization system with color coding!
