A Little Help Here? — Kate Merrick

Hey all! Happy Fall!

I hope you are rolling around in bright orange leaves, raiding Trader Joe’s for all the pumpkin things, lighting all the spicy candles, or like me, your sunburned face is peeling off from surfing these little fall swells:) But, if you happen to have offspring, the one thing we are all doing a little more of these days is parenting.

Listen, I’m really careful about what I share, as this blog is a platform for me to encourage through writing, but this one deserves our time and attention as I believe it falls in the category of encouragement. My dear friend Monica (author of Boy Mom, a legit manual for raising rad boys, and podcaster The Boy Mom Podcast) has put together this course to help moms raise their kids up with godly character with confidence.

I’m so serious when I say that Monica is raising some of my favorite boys on the planet next to my own son. I have the honor of hosting them on occasion, one being an up and coming competitive surfer Britt shapes for, and two others students at Westmont in my neck of the woods.

Y’all, raising kids is no joke. The stakes are high, we have to take it seriously. And we need support, we need wisdom, we need backup, WE NEED IT ALL. I’m on the tail end of my son’s teen years, and while I still can use the help, I’m enjoying the fruit of a deep relationship with my son. And my Fifi is just 6 years old, with the years in my home stretching out like the long road parenthood is. Mamas, raising kids is a gift, and investing in the job is totally worth it.

The course includes lessons, videos, guest interviews, downloads, basically all the things to help equip us to raise these crazy kids with character. It’s so relevant, so helpful. I believe in and appreciate Monica’s teaching as well as all of her awesome guests. I’m so in.

And if you decide not to do the course, I highly recommend subscribing to her blog. I look forward to her weekly emails even though we chat all the time!

The course signup is live right now and ends October 2 at 5pm CST. Click here for more deets.

Ok, chin up and all that sort of thing! Big love from me to you.
