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.

111. Mom's Health Journey & Managing Multiples with Guest Becca Hammond
We mamas are on a constant quest for improving our health. We talk about that journey in the first half of today's podcast. In fact, the tips that guest Becca Hammond shares are the changes she made to help her third pregnancy to be MUCH healthier than her previous ones. She even says her delivery was a positive experience and she felt good, alert, and had energy. In episode 111, she shares three simple things that made a big difference for her.
Then the second half of this episode, Becca and I talk about important tips for thriving with multiple kiddos. Four key aspects to helping your kids to thrive daily:
1. Fill their love buckets - speak words of truth & hope & vision over them, make eye contact, give physical touch, show a smile on your face, relating on their level in a way that matters to them.
2. Get them moving!
3. Give them mental challenges.
4. Give them quiet time - a time alone to decompress, think, imagine, and self-regulate.
We talk about this and lots more on this mother/daughter conversation between a mature mama of seven, who is also a grandma, with one of her grown daughters, a mother of three.
