What inspired you to launch your book, Modern Mom Probs: A Survival Guide for 21st Century Moms.? Modern Mom Probs helps mothers struggling with the mental load of motherhood by calling attention to the issue. Having said that, I offer specific tips on how to ease the load, such as asking our partners for help, opening our partners’ eyes to seeing what needs to be done around the house, and changing the dynamic of household manager (you) vs. underling (partner). As far as motherhood topics, I think it’s important to talk about pregnancy loss, infertility, maternal mental health, the mental load of motherhood, the myth of work-life balance, and positive parenting.

Essential oils especially can be reused in so many ways they are invaluable- from homemade cleaners to homemade skin care. The citrus essential oils give this homemade body butter a lovely scent and they have antimicrobial properties that help keep skin clear. Because of the citrus essential oils, it is best not to use this body butter immediately before going into the sun, but instead after coming out of the sun. There is only a very small amount or essential oils in this body butter recipe but it is always a good idea to avoid sun exposure for 6 hours after using citrus oils to make sure the sun does not cause a reaction that can irritate the skin.

Jon Page came up with the idea based on his love of craft drinks and video games. Because there is such a strong focus on the drinks and games, the food menu is pretty simple. Now it’s time to talk about the heart of it all – the games! With the great food, drinks, staff, and overall experience, it’s a must for any local’s date night, happy hour, or late night with friends.

We need to allow ourselves to think outside the box a little and consider why Bible reading matters and whether there are other practices that can accomplish the same thing in addition to — or, yes, sometimes even instead of — sitting and reading individually. I highly recommend making time for it (them) if you possibly can, even if it’s just five minutes a day to read or a single half-hour block of study in a week. * Scripture music – Playing Scripture set to music as you go about your day is an excellent way to take in a lot of Scripture (albeit usually not in large chunks) when you aren’t able to take time out from your necessary tasks. But overvaluing how the “reading” is happening and undervaluing all these other routes of exposure can lead us to look at the mama who’s attending church every week, reading the Bible every night with her family, and listening to Scripture on her stereo all day most days, and conclude that she’s falling short as a Christian because she isn’t also setting aside a second time of day (in addition to the family worship time) to read the Bible for only herself.

The Love the Word Bible Study Binder works together beautifully with my prayer binder*, and the way I usually put that together with the materials I’m using for my current studies. You could easily do this instead of the binder setup I have, to use in tandem with the binder setup I have (e.g. keep your permanent record in here, and use it alongside the more changeable binder system), or use these methods to jazz up the binder system I use. Melissa Tumino’s Bible Study Planner and Workbook reminds me a lot of the Bible study book I often recommend, Learn to Study the Bible, by Andy Deane. I’d say these go about moderate in depth, so they’re probably good for a lot of adults, but also good for use with older kids and teens, but possibly a little less useful for those who are very experienced with Bible study.

For all you busy moms out there, here are some of my best tips for how to create fun and meaningful activities with your children as you work through your busy day. Juggling all my businesses with young kids isn’t always easy, but I’m grateful that I can find time during the day to work. Use dinnertime as a time to connect with your kids and listen to what’s on their minds Once we’re home from school, I’m back in the kitchen making dinner. It’s one of my favorite times of the day because Corey and I get to spend quality time with our kids and hear about what is going on in their curious little minds.
