Renewed Mama | Parenting Tips, Reduce Overwhelm, Communicate Better, Speak Life, Strong Mom Mindset

Need help motivating your child when it's too hard? Does your child throw up their hands, stomp their feet, push away their workbook, cry, and just give up when it's too hard? As adults we forget that learning to make the bed can be hard. Learning to read and multiply can be hard. Sharing toys can be hard and learning how to get along can be messy. We’ve been making the bed, reading, multiplying,...

Ever feel like Anne? “Such a great idea! In a world where we see so much negativity, speaking life to our children and others is oh so important! It’s hard to speak life today. There’s so much negativity in the world. Sometimes I don’t know how to speak life when the truth of situations is not kind or pretty.” Negativity will always be around you.  Even when circumstances in your life or situ...

Are you nurturing your child’s heart and mind? If you thought of their heart and mind like soil, is it rocky, thorny, or good soil? You’ll know by their behavior. How do they respond? What are you correcting again and again? Is there willful disobedience, selective hearing, and an attitude of “Come on, Mom. Do I have to?” Do they want to do it their way only instead of being teachable? Are there a...

“Is God real? How do we know He’s real?” Has your child ever asked you that?  You know those moments when it feels like chaos has erupted? You feel overwhelmed, tired, and frustrated. There’s defeat in your thoughts. You are shouting out to your children to “Stop that, slow down, be quiet, be kinder to your sister.”  I was in one of those moments when the Holy Spirit stopped me and said,...

“Is God real? How do we know He’s real?” Has your child ever asked you that? We want our children to see real evidence of God. That He is alive and involved in our lives. That He isn’t just God in Heaven who is distant, or just the God we read about in the Bible. We want them to know that He is close. He is a caring, present Father God, our Holy Spirit Comforter, and Best Friend Jesus. We want the...

Stop global healthcare and keep our nation’s sovereignty.  Here’s important, time sensitive information you need to know.  It’s so important that you must drop what you are doing and act because it doesn’t matter what state, province, or country you live in, this affects us all.  Our autonomy, the authority over our own selves, our ability to self-govern may be given away by Residen...

Want more peace in your home?  It’s possible, Mama, but before you can invite more peace into your home, you’ve got to throw some things out first.  And I’m not talking clutter and stuff that you haven’t used for the past two years although that would be helpful for having more peace in your home.    I promise you, you’ll want to throw this out of your home now!  So p...

All my kids do is argue.  I can’t take it anymore.  I’m tired of dealing with their squabbling and hitting.  They constantly nit-pick each other to the point of full out arguments. They just don’t get along.  It gets so bad that I just blow up and lose my cool.     Is this happening in your house?  Are your kids driving you crazy because they argue with each...

It’s 5-7 pm. You’ve been with the kids all day or you’re getting home from work. Soon your husband will be getting home from work, too.  Time to make dinner. Then you’ve got to run one child to hockey or dance or soccer practice. There’s homework to do. You should read with the kids for 15 minutes. They need baths.  You are tired. Exhausted actually.  The day has been long and every...

Are you tired of telling your children 100 times to do something before they actually do it? Wish you could stop reminding and nagging them all the time? It's exhausting!  “How many times do I have to tell you to clean your room? Are you done yet? What’s taking you so long?"  "Haven’t I told you already to clean up these Legos? How come they are still all over the floor?"  Mama, you...

SELF-CONTROL  How can you help your child choose self-control? And how do you teach them what self-control is? You can explain it this way: Self-control is self-discipline. It’s the ability to control yourself and your emotions with all of those feelings, wants and desires inside. Self-control is then how you express or show those emotions in your behavior. Self-control is needed in really ha...

We are chatting about lies, wrong beliefs, and words spoken over your children that need to be (1) acknowledged as lies, (2) need to be broken off, and (3) replaced with truth so that your children can have a new, renewed right way of thinking. If you don’t address the lies that your children are believing and teach them how to acknowledge it as a lie and the value in asking, “What is the truth ab...

“Math is hard. Why do I have to do this? I just can’t get this.” “Everyone else is faster than me. I look over at the kid next to me and watch him fill out his paper. And then I look at mine and it’s still empty.” “I don’t care anymore. Why try? I’m just too far behind.” I hear this from my tutoring students regularly.  I came to realize a long time ago that there was a lot more than just mat...

Have you ever said, “Will I ever stop changing diapers?” “When will I finally sleep the whole night without a little one waking me up?” “Will my son ever be able to read well? He’s really struggling.”  Sometimes in our day to day, doing all the things, we get short sighted and forget about the future. Our eyes are on the right here, right now, and that is all we can see. The sun rises. The su...

Do you tell yourself lies?  No way!  Maybe so.  Yes.  Does it matter?   What you think and what you tell yourself, whether it’s true or not, affects YOU and your future.  Lives can change or take completely different paths based on what someone thinks, speaks, acts upon and believes.   Lies will always hold you back and keep you from being the best YOU that you c...

You can try to cover up a lot of things, but you can’t cover up what comes out of your mouth…what you say. Can you?  The truth is that your mouth tells what is in your heart, and what is in your heart is going to come out of your mouth. Luke 6:45  You might cover up or look good on the outside for a little while, but just as soon as you get frustrated or stressed, it comes out of your mo...

Your words are a pretty big deal.  Your thoughts and the words you speak have control of your life, whether you like it or not or whether you believe it or not.  What you choose to think again and again…what your mind repeats over and over and what comes out of your mouth will determine your future.  What you think and what you say is what you get.  In this episode of the Renew...

Strife   Conflict.  We all have it.  It exists in all relationships.  It might be a spat or argument triggered by little things that if not resolved can grow into bigger issues. Strife is the enemy’s, satan’s subtle tool to set a wedge in your marriage, in your family and in your relationships.  It’s his tool to get in and break them, steal your unity, and even rob yo...

When I was a kid, I was sure that my mom had eyes in the back of her head.  She just knew what my sisters and I were up to.  There was no hiding anything from her.  How did she always know?  It boggled me. Now that I’m a mom to three, I realize that having eyes in the back of my head is a secret mama super power.  After all the moments we spend with our children, we get to...
