Lilies and Manna

The Mary & Martha dilemma is something we face as parents every day in keeping a clean home while simultaneously raising children who we strive to teach the 'good part' to daily. 
In today's episode, Seth and I talk about ways to discern the Mary and Martha moments in our lives cleaning our home, and how to remember the Savior even amidst the inevitable messes.

I am so excited for you to listen to the first episode in a special three-part series—Imagine the Keepsake.
In this first episode, I’m sharing the heart behind Consider the Crayons, a brand new heirloom keepsake book created for mothers and their children—designed to be experienced together and treasured for years to come.
Beautifully illustrated by Olivia Anderson, this book is now available on Amazon (softcover only at this time, though hardcover may appear listed but is not yet available. It is coming soon :).

Next in the series: Remember the Keepsake with Olivia, the illustrator of this special book.

I hope that after today's episode, time at the sink becomes sacred time with Him, as you now see dishes as 'lilies', reminders of His love and strength He offers us in motherhood.

In this episode, I’m joined by Aleah from LDS Bookstore — a beautiful Christ-centered company I’ve loved for a long time. Aleah has spent over a decade working with LDS Bookstore, currently working in product development and design, helping create meaningful reminders of Christ for women and families.
Together we talk about the purpose behind these products, the power of simple reminders in our homes, and how small things can help deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ in everyday motherhood.
