Stay ConnectedWouldn’t it be great if we could focus on one thing each month that would help us mother from a place of strength instead of overwhelm? One thing we can remember when we don’t know what to do or where to turn?
All the Mom Things hopes to deliver just that.
On the 1st Wednesday of each month, Anne-Renee Gumley and Amanda Bacon will bring a fresh focus to our lives as moms. Each time you listen, we hope you’ll come away refreshed and renewed, ready for whatever you might face. Won’t you join us?
We're pretty sure we can all agree that as moms — well as humans for that matter — we like to see RESULTS. We forget that motherhood is more like a marathon … a long haul race. So today we're going to talk about not just behavioral change, but the real, true heart change we'd like to see in the lives of our kids. Thanks for taking the time to listen in and join in the conversation!
In this episode at the start of the year, we're talking about list-making! The two of us LOVE lists. So if you want some ideas of how to track your life and make lists that bring life instead of shame and guilt, this episode is for you, friend!
Being a critic comes much easier for most of us than taking the time and the discipline to sift through hard things and find the good. Because it's easy to see the negative, right?
So as we come to the end of 2020, we thought we'd assemble our own list (not a complete list), but start a list of good things that would encourage our hearts and hopefully encourage yours as well. Happy listening, dear friends. And happy New Year!
This month we're talking about contentment with a side of gratitude thrown in along with a discussion about what we do when we need to make some changes because things just aren't right… and we're discontent for a reason.
We also want to acknowledge that this year, this election season, and this pandemic has left our emotions heightened… so please know that we recognize this as we discuss this topic today.
November is stereotypically gratitude month… but we don't want to gloss over and pretend everything's okay just because it's November and we're super grateful! We want to trust God, considering that He is sovereign, and all the things that point us to a grateful and even joyful perspective.
We hope you'll listen in!
Change seems inevitable, doesn't it? Seasons change. Weather changes. Our children grow and change. And as busy mamas, our schedules seem to be constantly shifting and changing. Like the saying goes, "The only thing that is constant is change." As hard as we try, we cannot plan out and predict the outcome for every single thing in life. But we can choose how we respond to it. So that's what we're going to talk about today... expectations, changes, and our ability to be flexible and go with the flow (or not). Thanks for taking time to join in the conversation! We're thrilled you're here.
It seems like there's a lot of talk lately about moms needing ways to pause and breathe through tension, anxiety, tough situations or burn out... a need for respite and peace.
So we want this episode — Relief From the Anxiety of Right Now, to help us all take a deep breath and relax all the tension that's been building up in our lives… we'd also like to provide you with a few tools we use ourselves to help in this area. Today we'll discuss:
We'll answer those questions and more in this month's episode. Listen in.
Today we're talking about sanctification. Not a stay-cation. Glorification. Or personification.
But the work God is doing in us and through us to make us more like His Son. Which brings us to the question, what does sanctified mothering look like? Well you're in luck—because that's exactly what we're talking about today. We'd love for you to come join in the conversation.
This month, we're talking about learning to live selflessly.
The word selfless is sort of a tongue-twister… but it simply means the opposite of selfish.
Merriam Webster defines it as "having no concern for self." That definition may send up some major red flags for us because if we're in a healthy space, we know we do need to think about ourselves if we want to be a thriving person who takes care of a family.
But where do we draw the line… what does it look like to care for our own needs, but also mother selflessly?
Listen in as we discuss that and more!
We often think of surrender like putting up a white flag and giving up. That a posture of surrender somehow looks more like laziness ... or weakness. But what about surrender in motherhood? What does that look like? Or what should it look like? And how about all those things that get in the way of living a surrendered life? I mean, come on. There's tons of things we are juggling as moms. If we surrender, we might lose all control. Hmmm. Sounds like something we need to talk about. So thanks for joining us for Part One of our three-part summer series! We're excited to chat through this topic with you. "We can hand it all over to the One who holds it all because He cares about it all."
Every single one of us is waiting for something. You might even have a huge list of things you're praying and hoping for at this very moment.
What should we do in these times of waiting and what do we do with our thoughts while we wait? We'll discuss this and more in today's episode. It's one you're not going to want to miss as it provides some help and hope for us all in this area.
