Today I'm talking with Maryanne, a wife and mom to 4 kids, most of whom are teenagers. We discuss how to make our homes a warm and compelling place where our children are eager to come home, and somewhere they feel free to bring their own friends. We also touch on how as moms we can gladly send our young adult children out into the world instead of clinging to them when it's time to let go.It was an encouraging conversation for me, even though I'm still a few years away from that season, and I think it will be an encouragement to you as well!Find us on Instagram:Podcast: @tasteandseepodcastMaryanne: @maryannechallieshelmsChicken taco bowl recipe: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17953705361485560/
