-

I have some GREAT News to share with the Mother's With Love followers... I have created a Mother's with Love PODCAST!!! That's right, a podcast geared specifically toward moms. So rather you are cooking breakfast, cleaning the bathroom, folding laundry, working out at the gym or wherever you are, you can join in on the podcast for constant support and encouragement from Mother's with Love! I'm so excited to share with you all that I have in store. You can listen in to the podcast from many different platforms such as Anchor, Spotify, Radio Public and Google Podcasts!
(Direct links to all platforms found at anchor, click above)

Join me on the podcast today as I discuss the importance of remembering why we celebrate Christmas and remind you to avoid the stress of it all. From hosting holiday parties to buying the "perfect" Christmas gift for everyone on your list the holidays can be become stressful IF we are not careful to avoid the stress. It is doable! The holidays do not have to be stressful. They are what you make it. So I encourage you today to make it a wonderful, memorable time with your families and friends this holiday season. Christmas is a time to be cherished and loved, not dreaded. Lending Tree recently reported that 61% of people in the US dread the Christmas season because of the stress of spending! Wow! This number shocked me in a way, but on the other hand, after reading some of these posts on social media I see why people are so stressed.

I honestly believe we as mothers stress ourselves out unnecessarily at Christmas trying to be everything to everybody. We feel some sort of pressure to be sure we buy our kids bunches of presents at Christmas, even when it's not affordable. We stress ourselves about buying extended family gifts, like moms and dads, nieces and nephews and everyone else in our lives. However, if we were to take a moment to look at Christmas for what it really is, we would  be more focused on sharing love and kindness to those in need and our families too. Love and kindness are a gift that costs you nothing at all and outweighs any physical gift you could ever give.

Worried About Raising Children in THIS World?

With everything happening in the world these days it's easy to find yourself being worried about raising your children and them growing up in a world filled with so much hatred, violence and an evident lack of genuine love. The way we view the world now, as mothers, is probably much different than we have ever viewed the world around us.  Did anyone else view the world and things differently after becoming a mother? Now, instead of just you to think about you have a whole other life form (or in some cases multiple ones) to think about! I mean that's a tall order, you are responsible for another life! As if being responsible for your own wasn't difficult enough. You now have a new generation of other people to think about and that's deep. Then add on everything we have seen and experienced in the last year and the last few days going into the new year and well, my heart just crushes a  bit thinking about the future for our little ones. BUT.... When I cast my human flesh

Simple Strategies for Teaching Children to Manage Anger

Can we talk for just a moment about anger... It's on my heart and I'd like to have a real discussion about it. Not just anger in us as parents, but anger in our children. You see, I've come to realize that many adults are not aware of how to manage their anger, simply because they were never really taught how to when they were younger.  And so we have to vicious cycle of under managed and or mismanaged angry behaviors that just continue to repeat in us as adults and we pass it on to our children, and they pass it to their children and so on and so on.  Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But many kids struggle to understand the difference between angry feelings and aggressive behavior. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Often times when children are younger and they express a feeling of anger, we as the parent get upset ourselves at the little child  and
