You know what nobody tells you about parenting? It doesn't get easier. It just gets different. When you were expecting, you imagined snuggles and bedtime stories. Maybe teaching your kids to pray before bed or read their Bibles. But parenting in real life? Way harder than you thought. The toddler meltdowns in Target. The screen time battles with your tween. The teen who won't talk to you. The adult kid making choices that terrify you. And sometimes - late at night when everyone's finally asleep - you wonder if you're completely screwing this up. If they're going to grow up and resent you for all the things you got wrong. (Or is that just me?) Here's what I've learned: Parenting gets a lot easier when you stop trying to do it alone. When you have trusted, godly mentors who've been where you are and actually know what they're talking about, suddenly you have clarity instead of panic. That's why I'm SO excited to invite you to the 2026 Rise Up Christian Parenting Conference! (Yes, we're bringing conferences back!!! 🙌) The Rise Up Christian Parenting Conference is a 3-day LIVE online event designed to help busy Christian moms get the encouragement, clarity, and practical tools they need to parent with confidence and joy in today's world. Whether your kids are in diapers, navigating the teen years, or figuring out young adulthood, if you have kids between the ages of 0-20+, you will find sessions at this conference that speak directly to where you are right now. Over the course of three days, March 17-19, 2026, you'll hear from 13 trusted Christian authors, pastors, and parenting experts who truly understand the unique pressures parents face today. Tickets are free, but you DO need to register in advance.

Have you ever watched a great YouTube video or read a helpful parenting article and thought, "Yes! That's exactly what I need!" ...and then saved it to your ever-growing collection of tips you've never actually used? 🤦♀️ You watch the video. You think, "I should totally do that." You save it. And then... nothing. Because you already have 47 other saved posts, 12 bookmarked articles, and a notes app full of "great ideas" you never got around to implementing. It's not that you forgot. It's that...
Ever scroll through social media and feel that familiar pang of "we should have that too"? Maybe it's the friend's kitchen renovation that makes yours look dated. The family vacation photos that make you question if you're giving your kids enough experiences. The cute Target haul that has you adding things to your cart you didn't even know you needed. You want a good life for your family. You want to provide well for them, create beautiful memories, give them opportunities. But then the guilt...
My babies are growing up WAY too fast. It seems like just yesterday I was dealing with postpartum anxiety, nursing struggles, and a newborn who refused to nap for more than 5 minutes unless I was holding her. Now, she's a VERY active toddler who loves coloring, playing in the dog's food and water bowls, eating with a "big girl" fork, and taking off running and giggling mid-diaper change. And then I look at my big kids and remember when they were this age. I blinked, and now my oldest has his...
