Do you wish they would ask someone else "What's for dinner?" Do you tire of being the one in charge of feeding everyone? Does 5:00 often come around and there not a plan in sight?!

I've been there many times, but over the years I figure a few things out that helped so much! In this episode I share meal planning tips and easy, healthy menu ideas that helped reduce the stress and overwhelm i often felt when trying to feed my Big Family.

If this podcast blesses you, would love do me a favor and leave me a review on Apple Podcast? This helps other busy moms like you find me.

Much love,

Heather

Welcome to Your Big Happy Family Podcast!

Hey mama, are you tired of feeling constant stress and overwhelm? Are you drowning under the never-ending list of household chores and feeling pulled in every direction to meet everyone's needs? Do love being a mom, most of the time, but often feel cranky, outnumbered, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, not exactly feeling like you'd win any awards in the Proverbs 31 Woman Pageant?

Well, I'm so glad you are here! This podcast will help you have more peace and joy in your home and spirit, give practical household management tips, strengthen relationships and encourage your mama's heart!

Hello, I'm Heather. A mom, wife, Gigi and Jesus follower. I have 6 kids and 7 grandkids and have homeschooled and run a big household for decades. My biggest win is that all of my kids love Jesus and most days still like me!

I have loved being a mom and wouldn't trade it for anything, however, being a mom can be hard, and I found myself struggling over the years with stress, overwhelm, parenting challenges, relationship strain, fear and worry ALL while trying to keep my household running.

I found that by asking for help and encouragement from older moms, praying fervently, and trying and failing A LOT, the Lord equipped me to have more confidence, effective routines and strategies that gave me better relationships and more peace in my home and heart.

I am here to encourage you, to share things that worked for me, to lighten your days amidst all the hard, to keep you sane and from throwing in the towel, the good Lord knows we already have enough laundry. I'm here to help YOU manage your big family better!

So if you are ready to be encouraged, say good-bye to overwhelm, get practical tips for running your big household, create solid connections with ALL your people, and, girl, we are going to laugh a little- this podcast is for you!!

So pop in some headphones in while you sweep, meal prep, and fold yet another basket of laundry and let's do this!
