Practically Speaking Mom: Intentional Mom, Strong Family
Do you long to be a more intentional mom but you feel overwhelmed or weary or just don't have a clear path to the next step toward a successful family life? The Practically Speaking MOM, Val Harrison, is here to bring some order to the chaos and some focus to the confusion. You don’t have to be the perfect mom to have a strong family, you need a plan! Join author, speaker, mother of seven, mother-in-law of four, and grandma of five, as she shares wisdom and encouragement about the six areas of an intentional mom's life. You'll learn from her years of experience, successes, mistakes and redemption. Val and her husband Rich have been married 32 years and she's been homeschooling for 25 years. This podcast covers all stages of parenting, from babies to toddlers to teens and beyond. Val wants to encourage you to not become weary in your work as an intentional mom, "Even with all its unique personalities, imperfections and scars; your family is God's masterpiece. Your efforts matter in this worthy journey of motherhood." Galatians 6:9 says, "Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time you'll reap a harvest if you do not give up." Let's walk this marathon journey of motherhood TOGETHER, right here, on the Practically Speaking MOM podcast, the place for an intentional mom to build a strong family.
Practically Speaking Mom: Intentional Mom, Strong Family
139. Uniquely United! Part 1: Fast and Slow
Everyone in your family is God's precious, purposeful design. And yet, sibling squabbles, personality clashes, character issues, parenting mistakes... sometimes family life is uhh, colorful. We've created a new occasional, on-going series looking at the unique personalities in your home and how to get them to mesh, blend, and shine together as a family. Even with your parent imperfections, and your kids' one-of-a-kind differences, and all of those designed-by-God personalities, your family is God's masterpiece in the making!
In PART 1 Uniquely United, my husband Rich joins me in the studio as we discuss the differences between a slower-paced personality and a faster-paced personality. We look at both types of parents and the pitfalls that sometimes accompany those differences. I open up about some big regrets that brought some BIG LESSONS in learning to reign in my parenting type, to better blend with my kids that are different from me.
CLASH IN YOUR HOME: A GAMEPLAN for CLEANING UP the CONFLICT is a book I wrote about changes we made in our family to communicate better and find our way toward more teamwork and less conflict.
