As SAHMs, we often manage our households on a single income. I’m always looking for ways to save a buck (preferably two) and cut back on spending while still trying to live a full life at the moment without feeling consumed with guilt when it comes to actually spending money. Is it wise to always buy cheap items? Where do we start with a basic budget? How do you navigate tough conversations around spending habits when an individual's upbringing determines their perspective on money? Can you live an abundant, full life while being frugal? What does it mean to be “frugal” anyways? All of these questions (and more) are answered in this educational and insightful podcast episode. Grab your cozy beverage! P.S. you’ll want a pen and paper for this one.

SAHM Life Isn’t Glamorous
In this episode, I want to remind everyone that SAHM life truly isn’t glamorous. It is frustrating, disgusting, overwhelming, and challenging every single day. You’re saying “yes” to so much more than the “fun” aspects of being home with your children. The internet has a way of wrapping the modern-day role of homemaking into a pretty little package that looks quiet, cozy, neat, calm, and beautiful. Are there moments of that? Absolutely! But a full-time mother's role is definitely NOT neat, calm, or quiet. Let’s have a chat about the importance of understanding what we are saying yes to and why you chose this role. Warning: Many poop stories that will surely give you a belly laugh in this one, my friend.

Play-Based Learning with Justine and Cynthia of Learn + Live Letter
Wait! Are we talking about learning when summer JUST started? Yup! We sure are. These incredible women, Justine and Cynthia, have created play-based, hands-on unit studies which are absolutely perfect for:
- Those who are interested in summer learning and activities for their children
- Mamas who are already diving into next year’s curriculum options
- Parents who are considering homeschooling after this past school year but aren’t sure where to start
- SAHMs who have young kiddos at home that won’t be old enough for a school outside of the home
- Their unit studies are for children ages 3 through 12, PLUS they offer guidance to the parents as well!
I loved my conversation with these ladies and can’t wait for you to hear their passion for helping mamas and families find joy in hands-on and play-based learning.

Scrolling to Connect VS. Compare
In this episode, I wanted to dive into the topic of scrolling. Yes, scrolling. It sure feels like this topic is discussed a lot, doesn’t it? Maybe that’s because it’s a topic where so many women struggle! We use it as an escape while justifying how we stay connected as isolated SAHMs.
It’s time to ask yourself if you’re scrolling to connect truly, or if you’re scrolling to compare. Compare what you have or don’t have. Compare what you believe or don’t believe. Compare what you feel or don’t feel. Compare how you look, how your house looks, and how your family looks in the eyes of others. Social media can be a wonderful tool to reach people all across the world. But, it’s time to ask yourself the “why” behind the thumb scroll.
