Favorite Resources

-Allison Burr (@burr_family on Insta, truthbeautygoodness.net) She is an excellent resource for intentional motherhood, theology, and posts very intentionally about their family culture and how they do life.  I love following her! I took her parenting ecourse last fall called "Building Foundations" and really got a lot out of it.

-Jess Connell - she has a podcast (Mom On Purpose) and blog (jessconell.com), which I love.  She recently stopped posting and is taking an extended break, but I really enjoy her content and her views on many issues. She is a mom of many and has also lived overseas.

-Risen Motherhood - I love their podcast and all the show notes that they provide as additional info. While they don't always delve into the practical tips, they have a wonderfully refreshing gospel focus that helps re-envision my heart for mothering. It's a great conversational podcast that I frequently listen to in the car. They also have an Instagram account and Facebook page.

-Mystie Winkler - I  discovered her only a few months ago and she has a GREAT podcast called "The Simplified Organization Audio Blog."  Most of the podcasts are only a few minutes long, but they are packed with phenomenal content.  She also has some super useful posts on her blog about home management. In the short time I have been reading her content, I have been very equipped and helped! I also listen to her podcast about "Daily Faithfulness" frequently to be re-envisioned for the day-to-day tasks!

-Sally Clarkson is one of my absolute favorites. I joke that I want her to adopt me.  I settle for reading all her books and going to her  conferences! She's an amazing inspiration and truly a pioneer in affirming the high calling of motherhood.  I'm also in a "MomHeart" group (Sally started these, and we have one in Waco) where we read through motherhood books together and ask each other questions.  It's such a unique group - different churches, ages, and stages of mothering, but we all learn from each other.  This has been a HUGE encouragement for me over the past couple years.

-Lara Casey is another favorite.  Book/blog/powersheets are all great! She encourages moms to "cultivate what matters" and this especially resonates with me.
