After a failed attempt to go a full month with "no screens", I set out to discover how excessive screen time can harm children. What I found is that my child is not the only one in danger, I am as well! Also, as the parent, that I must model how I want my child to relate to social media. Let me know how you manage screen time in your home!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/LBTSmommymondays/ Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Monroeville_Music_Center/Le_Progrs/Monroeville_Music_Center_-_Le_Progrs_-_01_En_Route_ou_Enfin_Le_Dfil_Capsule_de_Temps_va_au_Centre_de_Contrle

I always said I wasn't having kids, and part of that was not getting married. Here I am blessed with a life and family that I never planned for. I could never imagine my future self with any of the guys that I met/dated. Scott has shown me that ultimately, my decision was right in how he has made God and our marriage a priority. Like I mentioned last week, marriage isn't easy and this step-blended family deal escalates that. I am thankful for my loving husband, Scott. Take 30 seconds with me to be grateful for your spouse and if you are single, for all the people that you have dated and the strength for not settling.

Valentine's Day - "the day of love". However, that looks different in each household. As a new wife, this Valentine's Day was spent learning more about how to have a successful marriage. But also it came up about celebrating Valentine's Day with kids, so I was curious if this is something other people do. Also for single parents, this can be a difficult time, so I wanted to acknowledge that as well. Lastly, this is a friendly reminder - Moms, Make sure to remember to take a moment for some self-care!!! Let me know how was Valentine's Day celebrated in your home?! https://www.facebook.com/groups/LBTSmommymondays/ Music by: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Monroeville_Music_Center/Le_Progrs/Monroeville_Music_Center_-_Le_Progrs_-_01_En_Route_ou_Enfin_Le_Dfil_Capsule_de_Temps_va_au_Centre_de_Contrle

Getting married later in life, this being a second marriage for Scott, blended family with kids on both sides, 70% divorce statistic for blended families....the odds were stacked against us.

I am excited to wrap up episode 2 of 2 and cover the last of the 5 languages: GIFTS and ACTS OF SERVICE. I love how authors Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell wrote “The 5 Languages of Love for Children” and gave amazing examples of how to show love to your child in these 5 different areas. How do you show your children love in these 3 areas? Which ones come naturally to you? Which ones do you have to work at?

Law #3 - Conceal Your Intentions Apparently, there is value to not being an open book. I never really thought about the fact that it is not a trait that people admire, I kind of have prided myself about being one to NOT play games so this is totallly new way of thinking. I love the feedback that I have been getting and it still stands the way that it says at the back of the book; "Regardless if you like these laws are not, there is governance about how to reach power and work with those in power."

Law #2 - Never Put Too Much Trust In Friends, Learn How To Use Enemies I like the phrase "with friends like that, who needs enemies?". I think we mix up friendships with our assumptions and expectations and that can lead to disaster. Instead, Rober Greene says, look for enemies to become allies because basically you know who they are and what they are about. Another point of discussion is how this law applies when sometimes "enemies" are mindsets, family traits or illnesses. Regardless if you like these laws are not, there is governance about how to reach power and work with those in power. This is law #2 of the 48 laws!

My husband, Scott, and I took the quiz to determine our love language before and after we got married. How it shows us our differences got me thinking of how everyone feels loved differently and how that varies from person to person. The book 5 Languages of Love for Children has made me stop and think about how I show my love to my daughter. There are 5 languages and this episode covers the 1st 3: PHYSICAL TOUCH, WORDS OF AFFIRMATION and QUALITY TIME How do you show your children love in these 3 areas? Which ones come naturally to you? Which ones do you have to work at?

The book touts this is the bestselling book for those you want power, watch power or want to arm themselves against power.

Mom's are soooo bussssy! With all of the juggling, many of us find ourselves exhausted and not our best self for our family. This year I am challenging myself to take more time to breathe and "recharge my batteries".

Humans are complex. Relationships are complex. Life is complex. How we navigate life changes based on the season we are in. This passion project was born as a reflection of all that goes on behind the scene of life in all the roles that we play. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, entrepreneur, friend and much more depending on who, what, when, where and why. The hope for this podcast is to peek behind the scene of the complex journey of life and our various roles and provide inspiration, life lessons, and community to others.
