Have you noticed your kids do not come with built in manners?! Do you find them interrupting each other or you when talking to other adults? Of course, they aren't being disobedient if you have never taught them otherwise.

Today I'll be sharing with you a simple tool that I taught all of my children in our Big Family that allowed them to learn that other people are in the world and it's good to be aware of them and to be kind. Sometimes kindness looks like waiting. This tool will teach your children the beautiful gift of waiting.

Much love,

Heather

Are you not feeling like yourself? Low energy, tough periods, fitful sleep, hair falling out and more!? Do you have no idea what to do to fix it? Soooo much information and protocols from well-meaning professionals and influencers on social media! Not sure where to start?

Well, Mama I've been there too, about 17 yrs ago. I sifted and trudged through much of that information and figured out what helped and what didn't! I'm here to share this with you. It's not medical advice, just real-life experience from a metabolically stressed mama! I really hope this foundational information blesses you, gives you a place to start, and gives you renewed strength and energy to fuel your God-given gift of motherhood!
