Do you ever wonder when and how and even if you should discipline your toddler. Do they even understand what they did? Are they ready or do they have to ability to have self-control or to obey? When should you start spanking them, and for what? When do you put them in time out, how long, and for what reasons? What do you do if they are throwing tantrums or hitting? Of course some of this depends on the toddler and the situation, but in this episode I go into detail and answer all of these questions the best I can. So, pop those earbuds in and let's tackle some laundry while we learn and grow together! Also if you haven't listened to my "Spanking let's talk about it" episode I highly recommend you do after you listen to this one. Podcast | Mama's Village Support the show

Random tips from a Mom of 3
Okay Mamas you don't want to miss this episode! We cover a variety of topics that I think are so important, but you can't do a whole episode on. When I say random, I mean it's random! I talk about a newborns schedule, to mom judging, to keeping the house in order and having too many toys. These are random tips I would tell any mom that is asking for advice on these topics or things I would put in the jar at the baby shower asking for your best piece of advice for a new mom. Now I do not claim to have it all together or that I have done all of these things perfectly, but these are things I do consistently that I believe help a lot! Support the show

When you have lost all strength!
When you have come to the end of yourself that is where God can come in and infuse you with so much inner strength that you never knew you had. In this episode we talk all about how hard it can be as a mom and how it can push us to the brink of what we feel like we can handle. Being a mom pushes you in all areas, physically, and emotionally, so sometimes we lose all our strength and cannot keep going. It's easy to lose perspective when you have to solve 187 problems every day. We deep dive into some scriptures that teach on this very thing and learn how we can handle those times when motherhood seems so hard and learn how to find joy and peace even in the hardest times! So lets dive in!Support the show

Finding Peace and Joy in the Business of the Holidays!
Do you ever find yourself so busy during the Christmas season that you don't even enjoy it? Peace and joy that Jesus came to give us is out the window because we are just floundering over here trying to make sure we don't forget to buy that teacher a gift or bake those cookies for the party or send out those Christmas cards in time. In this episode I talk all about how to take the pressure that society tries to put on us during Christmas and hold tight to all God has for us during this season. Simplicity can be a beautiful thing and sometimes saying no for a greater yes and taking the season back into our hands is really all we need to do to find that peace and joy. So, let's dive in!
