Amanda pours out her heart on how she cultivates a peaceful home as a mother to littles. She shares about limiting screen time, having rhythms more than routines and how she has navigated the outside pressures of motherhood. Throughout the conversation, Amanda shares about abiding in the peace of Jesus in all circumstances and seasons. We also chat about how Amanda and her Husband intentionally create a team mentality in their family culture and then we end our conversation chatting a bit about what community + hospitality looks like as a mother of three.

This week we are welcoming back Mary Kate Robertson and Hannah King to reflect on motherhood over the last five(!!) years and how God has grown our capacities and also made us more reliant upon Him. We discuss what our daily rhythms look like with three children and the beginning stages of homeschooling. This was such a cozy conversation that I hope encourages your heart, whatever stage you're at in your walk with Christ and/or motherhood.
