As mothers, we hope that everyone in the family will help clean the house so that we aren't the only ones doing the housework--and so we can teach our children and train them for adulthood. If you would like fun, creative, and DOABLE ways to make this happen, we have a podcast episode just for you!

Encore: Getting Kids to Listen - Episode 229 Oct 18, 2017

Show notes

We're bringing back this well loved, oldie-but-goodie, podcast with April and Amy McCready. Here are a few of the main ideas from their conversation

We're not "trying to get control over the kids" or simply trying to "come up with consequences."

Our real goal is to strengthen our relationships with our children and provide an environment where we can grow together.

As deliberate mothers, we need to make "Mind, Body, and Soul" time a priority with each of our children (Amy will explain how to do that). We also need to take time to train our children (which will prevent many of the misbehaviors from happening in the first place) and help them behave for the right reasons.

There are better parenting methods available to us than yelling. And as we learn those methods, the entire feeling in our homes will change. (I shared a personal experience where I applied Amy's methods to a parenting dilemma involving my son–and how I was elated when it worked.

Encore: Finding Joy When We're Barely Surviving - Episode 226 Sep 20, 2017

Show notes

This week we are bringing back one of our earliest podcasts—Finding Joy When We're Barely Surviving, which stemmed from this question from a mom in our community:

"How am I supposed to find the joy in motherhood when all I can do is keep my head above water? I am barely surviving, let alone thriving!"

Well, if you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. And as we prepared for this radio show, we reached out to our Power of Moms Facebook community for answers. (The response was wonderful.)

Join Saren and April as they discuss thoughts and actions that deliberate mothers can use when things feel really heavy, and receive a virtual pat on the back from our community as we acknowledge the beauty and power of motherhood.

Defining Success in Motherhood--Episode 225 Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

We all want to be successful in our vitally important role as mothers. But how do we know if we've done a good job when no one hands us a trophy, we don't get graded, and there's no performance review or pay raise to confirm our success? How do we keep from feeling like failures when we've put in hours of devoted work each and every day but there's not a lot of tangible evidence that we accomplished much?

We've definitely had those thoughts. So we (Saren and April) recorded a radio show full of our very best ideas for creating and celebrating success as mothers.

We hope you'll enjoy this popular episode from our archives and we'd love to have you add your thoughts in the comments. (We're sure there are lots of good ideas we didn't cover on this subject!)

What's NOT That Important- Encore Episode 224 Sep 07, 2017

Show notes

We thought we'd dig back in the archives and revisit this well-loved podcast.

We come into motherhood with ideals about how things are going to go – then we realize that some of those ideals just aren't realistic or aren't all that important.

What have you realized isn't as important as it seemed to be at first? Have you let go of aspects of how your house and kids should look, what your kids should eat, that sort of thing?

These questions received lots of interesting and helpful responses from our Facebook community – and April and Saren add their own thoughts in this week's Radio Show. (As you listen, you'll gain great perspective and be glad to know you're not the only one who has worried about silly things!)
