The AT HOME Village is a guidance-centered community for moms.
Moms who want to learn and grow and be the best moms they can be for their family.
Not perfect.
Not guilt-ridden.
Not burnt out.
But… Present. Happy. Fulfilled.
AT HOME Village is a community for the mom who can enjoy her time with her kids because her whole house doesn’t look like a Yard Sale hoarding zone, and every time she sits on the couch, she doesn’t think of the 1,455,345 things she needs to do.
AT HOME Village is time-tested, parent-approved guidance for the mom who wants to teach her kids to listen to her without turning into Cruella de Vil.
AT HOME Village is for you if you want to…
- teach your kids to mind you without being too strict or too lenient so you can give them a balanced home they AND you will love.
- understand how to navigate kids’ Big Emotions – tantrums, meltdowns, and crocodile tears {Yes!} so you know exactly how to respond in a way that respects and nurtures them.
- figure out how to “get it all done” so you can have a home that is peace-filled and chaos-free.
- grow in faith as a person and as a family so you can give your kids a solid foundation under their feet.
- raise children who enjoy hard work and aren’t entitled because a family that works together, stays together.
- understand how to create and maintain effective routines so you don’t spend every waking minute worrying about things to do and errands to run.
- keep your children safe, in everyday life and emergency situations, without curbing their independence, because the world can be a dangerous place.
- encourage good sleep, naps and rest habits for both, the kids and your own self, so you can keep sleep-deprived tantrums and meltdowns at bay.
- find out the difference between balancing, juggling, and prioritizing so you can stop feeling like there are squirrels squabbling over acorns inside your head.
Most importantly AT HOME Village is for you if you want to…
Create a home and a family culture that will nurture your kids, strengthen your bonds with each other and give them a home they’ll always want to come back to. And you want to do this without turning yourself into a Stepford wife or turning your home into a page from the latest Pottery Barn catalog!
