Shifting the Guilt

You’ve asked yourself a lot of questions this month. You’ve taken an honest look at your home and your habits. You’ve been called to action. Making changes is one way to erase mom guilt. You’re taking your role as mom seriously and modeling the positive change you want for your kids. You are their sense of home. You create that. Write about how your sense of home has shifted since the beginning of the month. Don’t forget to pat yourself on the back for taking on this challenge, making positive changes, and being the model for your children.

The Outside Inside

Does the inside of your home reflect the season you’re in? (I know we talk a lot about “parenting seasons,” but I mean the literal seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). Do you make changes to the interior to reflect the seasonal shifts? Decorations? Switching out clothes? Putting out more blankets? Changing your menu? Write about how you mark the season shifts or how and if you’d like to note them more.

The Little Things

Write about the little things you could do on a daily basis to take more pride in your home and yard. Could you straighten the garden tools? Weed a little every day? Make an effort to put the outside toys away more often? Paint that little piece of trim that’s been driving you crazy? Pick up trash when you see it? Start carrying dog poop bags on your walks? Pick flowers for the kitchen table? Sit on your porch more often? Put food in the bird feeder? Learn the names of the plants in your yard?…what could you do? What do you want to do inside or outside your home that would make you happy and proud to be there?

Hometown Pride

What are you proud of in your hometown? Is it the businesses? The community? The options? The culture? The events? The schools? The parks? What do you do with your family to support and experience the things that make you proud to live where you live? What could you do more often to show and experience the things that make you proud?

Use Your Yard

What are you proud of in your yard? The tidiness? The size? The color? The plants? What makes you want to use it? What keeps you from using it? Is your green space or yard a public park? Is there something you could do to take more pride in your home or town’s green spaces?

Green Space

Are you using the green space outside your front door? In your neighbor? In your city? What could you do to encourage you to use them more?

The Front Door

What could you do at your front entry space to make it more welcoming, for your own family and guests? What do you love about it now? What have you always wanted to do to the space? Write about what it’s like to open your front door and come home. Is it what you want it to look like day in and day out? Are there changes you’d like to make? What about your entry says “welcome home?”

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!!! 👩🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🍳😍
