Daily/Weekly/Yearly Habits

Are there celebrations or traditions that your family is known for? What about daily habits? Are there everyday things that you do that are part of who you are? What are your hobbies or likes that people associate with you?

Service

Acts of service we do for others live on past the moment—they ripple and echo. This includes serving our own family as well as others. What do you define as “service?” Do you value service? Is it a value you’d like to pass on to your children? What actions do you take that are centered on service?

(Note: if service is a new term for you, spend some time today looking it up and talking about it with friends and family. A lot of folks are raised to think of service as something like a server in a restaurant, but it’s much more than a role or job. Service is a pillar of motherhood and worth the extra effort to understand. There is a lot of peace to be found in understanding what it means to serve others).

Memory Keeper

Mothers are the memory keepers of the home. Those aren’t just photo albums or scrapbooks you’re putting together, they are your family’s history, a collection of memories that will be cherished for generations to come. The time that you put into creating them is valuable.

Have you ever wanted to create more albums or home movies for your family? Have you created some? If so, what was your favorite part about putting them together? If not, what is keeping you from spending time on that kind of project? If scrapbooks and baby books aren’t your thing, what other methods of memory keeping do you use? Would you like to make it a priority? If so, how could you make time for it?

Love & Kindness

There is no doubt that love and kindness are worth being known for—now and when we are gone. They are the building blocks of family. They are the main ingredients in motherhood.

Who in your life is known for love and kindness? Spend a few moments writing about that person. Are you known for love and kindness? Is it an area you’d like to actively focus on more in your own life? Do you value love and kindness? If so, how do you express those values? Are they values you would like to pass on to your children?

Current Family Legacy

If you were to describe your family to a stranger right now, what would you say? What is your family known for? What values do you hold strongly? Take a few moments to write about it.

Stories That Live On

What stories from your family’s past have lived on for generations? Are there any recent ones? What is your extended family “known” for? What are the origins of your last name? Your maiden name, other names in your family tree, etc.? Spend a few moments today writing about your family history and what stories/ideals you would consider to be part of your larger family’s legacy.

Your Legacy

What are you known for? Right now, as you are…what are you known for? If you were to describe you and your living legacy, what words would you use? What values would you describe? Reflect and write down your answers.

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!!! 👩🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🍳😍
Worth a post. Mahalo @thespiritualdaily for sharin Worth a post. Mahalo @thespiritualdaily for sharing this light filled message! 🙌 

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...😂
