Hearts at Home 2013


My favorite thoughts from Hearts at Home 2013:

Jill Savage: Main Session (No More Perfect Moms!)-

Let your mess be your message!

Motherhood is the ministry of interruptions.  Expect interruptions!


Karen Ehman: LET. IT. GO.-

Mom's bleeding tongue is better than a child's badgered heart.

What's inside of you is what is going to spill out when you get "bumped."

Imperfect moments can make perfect memories.


Dana Blomberg: Loving Your Husband Toward Christ-

Make home a retreat for your husband.

Die to your right to be easily angered.

Zip it and pray!

My husband is my #1 ministry!


Dr. Rob Currie: The Magic of Parenting Preschoolers-

Preschoolers don't think logically; they think magically.  

       -"Statue Pills"  "Monster Spray"

Simple touches can make life magical for kids 

        -Cookie cutter shaped food

If there are things your kids fuss over:

        -Give it a name! (give foods a fun name, etc.)

        -Make it a game! (get the room cleaned before the "bomb" goes off)


Helen Lee: What is Missional Motherhood?-

Instead of critiquing or consuming culture, we should be CREATING culture.
       -Make your home a Missional Outpost

       -Create family Missional Opportunities

       -Create a culture of Sacrifice


And check this out.  My best friend Jennifer and I made the program!
