Online Yoga Class for Busy Moms ~ 75% Off for Readers!

ByMariel

Friends! Have you ever wanted to try your hand at yoga?? I know I have! In fact, I have a little brother on an LDS mission, who LOVES yoga. Before he left, he made me promise that I would learn yoga and be able to show him a “sweet yoga move” by the time he gets home. Eeeek!

That promise, coupled with the fact that two of my brothers are in film production (they’re amazing) and my blog assistant, Liv, is also a yoga instructor, gave me an AWESOME IDEA! We put our heads together and decided to create a Yoga for Busy Moms online class, right in my own home.

20 Brilliant Things About YOUR Mom ~ A Fun and Meaningful Mother’s Day Gift Idea! (she: Veronica)

ByVeronica

I’ve been thinking about Mother’s Day lately. I don’t know about you, but I always struggle with ideas to do for my mom. If you look on Pinterest, there are so many fun ideas that you can do with your little kids for Mother’s Day. But, to be honest, those aren’t the ideas I’m needing help with. I need help with ideas for MY OWN mom. If you were to ask her what she would like, she will never tell you anything. But, this year I’ve come up with a fun Mother’s Day gift idea and I’m so excited to share it with you!

5 Best Places to Buy Maternity Clothes

ByMariel

So, let’s just put this out there… I’m currently pregnant with my 7th child and it was a total surprise.  I had actually given away all of my maternity clothes that I had collected on my 6-baby-way.  I really, really thought I was done!  But, God had something else in mind for me.  This little girl coming my way is meant to be and we can’t wait to meet her. There are actually 7 kids in my family and 7 in my husband’s family, so it’s kind of fun to carry on the tradition.  We love big families!

Anyway, back to my point.  Maternity clothes.  I’ve bought sooooo many over the past 15 years and now I’m buying them all over again.

Connecting with Older Kids – 15 Tips to Try (she: Veronica)

ByVeronica

Many parents don’t enjoy their older kids as much as they could. Why? Because older kids can be SO HARD! But I also think it’s because they just can’t figure out how to connect with them. When you find those things that you can do, I promise you will thoroughly enjoy those older kids of yours! Well…maybe not all the time. 🙂

I thought I’d share some simple tips with you. Please be mindful that some may apply to your kids, and others might not. Each child is different, and each parent is different. But, don’t give up. They want to be connected with you. They want to feel loved by you and WANT you to understand them.

Not in the mood? Do it anyway!

Not in the Mood? Do It Anyway! (she: Lindsay)

ByLindsay

One of the hurdles we can face when trying to do things, accomplish things (ANY “things”) is being in the mood. If all it takes to turn a lousy day into a great one is a little dinner party and a phone call, why would you ever choose to have a lousy day? Even better, why would you let someone else have a lousy one?

The people who need you need you to fix their mood, even when you don’t feel like it. And we need you to learn to fix your own mood so you can be the one who fixes the rest of us.

5 Diaper Changing Hacks Every Mother Should Know

ByRebecca

My fourth baby just turned two months old, which means he’s babbling and smiling all over himself … especially when he manages to get his poop out! The faces that he makes when he’s working on a poop are hilarious.

THOSE faces used to stress me out with my first baby, but with my fourth I realize it’s just what babies do. And pooping is serious business for them! It’s one of a baby’s three main purposes in life, aside from eating and sleeping.

Be Your Best Self – Fill Your Bucket (she: Veronica)

ByVeronica

For me personally, I love to give. I love to serve and help and be busy doing good things. I love taking care of my family and making sure they have what they need. Those things are important to me because they are important things! BUT…we must be willing to stop and take care of ourselves as well. When we get so wrapped up in taking care of everyone but ourselves, eventually what we will have to give may not be enough.
