Finding Joy in Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

Marriage is a life-long mission. It is a God-given, life-giving mission.  When we look at our marriage through that lens, it becomes much different than what the world wants you to believe it is.  Marriage isn’t about fulfilling our needs (although our needs are fulfilled when we’re living an authentic friendship with each other).  It is about choosing to love.

We are so busy with so many things of the world, our family, and of keeping our heads above water, that I wonder if we spend time thinking about who we are - how we want to be remembered by our husband, children, family, and friends.
In this episode, I talk about how my mom's recent death made me stop and think about how I would like to be remembered.
Take time, today, to commit to the woman, the wife, the mother, the grandmother, and friend that you would like to be.
Everything else in life is of little importance.  How do you want to be remembered?

A bright and cheerful, joyful home is not one where everything goes according to plan. 
It’s a home where family members learn to adapt, adjust, and respond with generosity when things don't go according to plan. 
The more flexibility we cultivate in ourselves and our children, the more peace, resilience, and joy we will experience as a family.

As we begin the month of June, most children are out of school and home for the summer.  And, almost immediately, they begin to complain that they're bored.
What do you do with your kids when they're bored?  Well, for many parents, they let them play video games or watch TV for most of the day.  When we give our children a lot of access to technology, they are missing out on so many ways to grow and mature.
They miss out on how to solve their problem of boredom.  They miss out on learning to be creative.  They miss out on connections with their siblings and parents.
They miss out on experiencing the joy of simple living and human interaction.
This episode is about how technology can affect your children.  Before you let them have a summer with lots of tech time, listen to this episode to understand how it affects your children's brain, mood, and ability to connect with others.

Do you want to be a woman who is a victim of everyone and everything and complains about it to anyone with ears, or do you want to be a strong woman who solves her problems and realizes that sometimes, maybe many times, it’s on us to figure things out - to delegate when possible, to enforce expectations that are reasonable and to let go of unreasonable expectations of perfection in ourselves and in those around us.
Complaining makes you unhappy and it makes everyone around you unhappy.
