Today I'm talking about creating intentional space for family time starts with making intentional time for you.

We get caught up in the lie that if we don't spend all of this time with our kids that we are some how less of a parent

The shift in mothers going to work out of the home

Through lived experiences that we were able to look at our traumas holistically and recognize the patterns than needed to change.

I see this in more of my mothers mothers generation, where it was still fairly uncommon for women to work outside of the home and very much shamed if actually done.

The reality of raising kids today being "busier"

The "expectancy" to get ALL of these things done with limited time as working moms

Identify major pain points and solve those solutions first. Write it out and really work through the cost associated and it's worth to your family unit.

Your husband can help! Michael and I are excited for an upcoming episode about this exact point, so more to come on how your partner is not "helping you out" he's doing his part & you should not feel guilty.

Be honest and forth coming about your needs and expectations

Ultimately, avoid busy-ness and make time for things that matter to you

- Taco Tuesday & game night

- 1:1 dates with each kid

Create routines and habits that will help you to make life a little easier

For example, pizza on Tuesdays because Michael works late

Sunday set to review the calendar for the week ahead and do our marriage journal
