Reflection

Write about your Date Night this week. Include details, your feelings, etc. Did the newness of your Date Night bring a ‘newness’ to your relationship, even for the just the date? Were you satisfied or disappointed with the date? What was good? What wasn’t? What did you bring to the table…tired? stressed? expectations? a positive attitude? Write about it.

Brainstorm

Make lists of “new” places, restaurants, and activities you would like to try in the future. Bring your date in on the brainstorm.

What do YOU offer them?

How are you a good friend to your date? Relationships are about give and take—it’s healthy to acknowledge what you bring to the table. Take some time today to write about what you bring to your relationship.

What’s your favorite thing about your date(s)?

What do you admire about them? Why did you choose them?

April is about fostering our relationships and investing time, thoughts, and energy into people we love. This can happen outside of the scheduled Date Night. Take today’s journaling a step further…tell them what you admire (today or in a note for this week’s Date Night).

Think about the person/people you chose

What was it like the day you met them? Do you remember? Write about your first impressions, any details you remember about that day, how you felt, etc. Write them down as a way of honoring that memory. Take it further: let that person know you’re thinking about this memory. Text or mention it.

Make plans

Write down the who, what, when, where, etc. for each potential Date Night. Busy lives require pre-planning, especially when others are involved. Look at your calendar for the month. Block out dates/times for possible Date Nights. Schedule a sitter or mom swap. Today is about setting ourselves up for success.

Bring your loved ones in on it

Let them know about the Date Night challenge this month. Say out loud that you love them and want to spend more one on one time with them. Choose the same person or a someone new each week. It could be marriage month or not. April’s topic is more about fostering relationships with people we love and/or admire.

List who. Who will you choose? Call them, text, make face to face plans. Reach out today to see who is available & when, start scheduling childcare, etc.

Aloha Friday 🌺 Learning in pajamas...building & Aloha Friday 🌺 Learning in pajamas...building & listening to Grimm fairytales for the third time. 

She chose to study them. I chose to support her. 💞 Learning happens everywhere. Homeschool isn’t about recreating the classroom at home 😘 

If you’re frustrated with homeschool, I highly recommend pajamas and podcasts and taking it easy 💗
Today’s homeschool pivot: veterinary play. It Today’s homeschool pivot: veterinary play. 

It doesn’t matter what my homeschool planner says...it’s what they’re passionate about & motivated to learn. Friday it was architecture. Today it’s veterinary medicine. 

My job is to kindle the flame of their hearts & imaginations, not check boxes 😘

All of life is learning. What will these pivots turn into, I wonder 😍

This weekend’s episode is for parents and parent This weekend’s episode is for parents and parents-to-be who have fur babies, too! 🐶👶

There is SO MUCH we can do as parents to keep our kids and dogs safe & happy when the two are together. 

Lisa Giesick of @ohanapet shares a ton of tips and resources with us in Episode 102. 🙌

If you’re expecting, just had a baby, have a crawler or toddler, or even older kids + dogs, this episode is a must listen! 😘

Do you have dogs? How many? How did the transition go? 👇👇👇
We’re putting Elevating Motherhood into action o We’re putting Elevating Motherhood into action over on Patreon! 🥳 

I’ve been researching how & where to gather support for moms OFF of social media and Patreon is it! 🙌 

It’s an ad-free, no distraction space where we can gather, learn together, dive deep into topics, and just be with other moms in a positive, supportive place without all the nonsense! Like an online moms group 🥰

I’ll be hosting a monthly class there as well! 💜 A virtual “moms night in” once a month where we can gather and learn fun skills together and connect during this odd time of being apart. April’s class is “Elevating Your Everyday Cooking with Kris Dovbniak” on Friday, April 23rd 👩🏻‍🍳 It’s incredible!

This Patreon space is a collaboration of all my favorite things…hanging out with moms, having deep, meaningful conversations, and learning new skills with my friends! 💗

Join me over on Patreon! 😘www.patreon.com/elevatingmotherhood
Happy Easter! ✝️🐇🌷💗 Happy Easter! ✝️🐇🌷💗
The timing of this episode just felt “right.” The timing of this episode just felt “right.” 💙 So many mamas have reached out to me over the years wanting to know how they can help create lasting, positive change in their communities. I’ve shared a lot of this info one on one but with so many “what can we do?” messages flooding my DMs, I knew it was time to share the how, why, who, and when behind standing up, reaching out, and lobbying for topics you feel are important. 

Our topics may be different but our passion is the same. Moms can (& do!) change the world! 🙌

I hope this episode empowers you to speak up when your intuition tells you it’s time about topics that tug on your mama heart 😘

Check out the detailed “how to” ideas listed in the show notes. 

Also, do me a favor and share the heck out of this episode so as many mamas as possible can have this information as resource for speaking up! 🙌
What the kids see: spaghetti! What I see: nutrie What the kids see: spaghetti! 

What I see: nutrient dense liver, gluten free pasta + local zucchini, carrots, & beef. 

They gobbled it up. So did I 😉 

Stay tuned for more details about the @elevatingmotherhood Patreon cooking class this month!!! 👩🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🍳😍

I will breathe & live this message 💖 How about you, mamas? Does this speak to you, too?
Episode 100 of Elevating Motherhood is LIVE! 🥳 Episode 100 of Elevating Motherhood is LIVE! 🥳 Something to celebrate! 😍 So of course I cry at the end and chose a picture of me holding a goat...😂
