    I love my Atlanta friends, and it’s always an ex I love my Atlanta friends, and it’s always an extra joy to spend time with Marist moms @maristschool! School assemblies are becoming one of my favorite things, and it was an honor to speak to all the middle school & high school girls yesterday afternoon and to their parents last night. One of my favorite parts of this trip, besides the people I met, was catching a glimpse of the school chapel as seniors had Prayer and Meditation Class. The room was so quiet and still, except for soft music, and many students were journaling, including a number of boys. With this next generation being shaped by a world that in constantly loud and chaotic, I kept thinking how this is the best habit to take into college (and beyond) to stay rooted in what is real. These are the leaders our future world needs. A huge thank you to @lesleybaradel and Marist Families in Action for inviting me back to Marist and making it feel like home. I loved being with you and seeing what God is doing through this Catholic school! #isyourdaughterreadybook #girlmom #raisinggirls #mothersanddaughters #empoweringgirlsthroughfaith
    As parents, we have 18 years to pack our child’s As parents, we have 18 years to pack our child’s suitcase. 18 years to prepare them for life beyond our home. For most parents, there are moments of panic during senior year as we wonder if we’ve prepared them enough…loved them enough….taught them enough. What if we left something out? What if they forget the truths of God that we planted in their heart? As my friend expressed her fears to her counselor, her counselor replied, “The seeds have been planted. They can’t be unplanted.” 🙌🏻 It’s a comforting reminder that small moments matters. Nobody can steal what you instill, and even if your child gets off-track, knowing the truth gives them something to come back to. They have a North Star to lead them home. The Jesuits have a saying, “Give me the child for the first seven years and I’ll give you the man.” Children are wet cement, deeply impressionable, and their earliest lessons set the stage for who they’ll later become. Your acts of love, your example, your words, and your values live in their heart and mind. Pray for the Holy Spirit to help them recall the truths they need, and trust that the work you do to shape their heart and character may benefit them for decades to come 🌱 *For more messages like this, and guidance on planting God’s truth in your daughter’s heart, comment READY to get the link to my new book #isyourdaughterreadybook. It will help you be intentional during those 18 years at home.
    I hear a lot of “Bless your heart!” when peopl I hear a lot of “Bless your heart!” when people learn I have 4 daughters, but I’d honestly take more🩷 Happy National Daughters Day to these 4 treasures!
    When you have multiple children, you realize how d When you have multiple children, you realize how different every child is, even siblings who share 50 percent of their genes. It takes all personalities to make the world go ‘round. And as we help our children find their gifts, we teach them that what they bring to the table is exactly what our world needs. We help them discover their God-given mission. *For more messages like this, comment READY and I’ll send you the link to my new book for girl moms🤍
    Celebrating 23 years of our Ella today!!! With eve Celebrating 23 years of our Ella today!!! With every trip around the sun, we love her more, and we thank God for the joy and laughter she infuses into our lives!

    Meet Hartwell Furr, the 24-year-old Ole Miss gradu Meet Hartwell Furr, the 24-year-old Ole Miss graduate who founded Nanny Network, an NYC business that connects Southern sorority girls with families in the Hamptons for the summer. She recently joined me on the Girl Mom Podcast, and we had the best conversation about “Starting a Business in College.” Find it wherever you listen to podcasts or comment COLLEGE and I’ll send you the link. My podcast link is also in my IG bio. This past July Hartwell was featured in @townandcountrymag, and this fall she’ll launch a second business called HARTWELL, a staffing agency that connects clients with emerging early-career women. She’s proof that you’re never too young to turn a passion into a business. In a world where many girls are mostly consumers (buying whatever is marketed to them), she is a creator. She is building great things with great potential to stand the test of time. Hartwell started her business in college - and sees college as the perfect time to become an entrepreneur. She’s smart, kind, intuitive, and wise beyond her years, and I love how she shatters the sorority life stereotype that TikTok made famous. The truth is, for many girls, their sorority is their launching pad. It’s where they find opportunities to grow leadership skills, connect with older girls & mentors, make friends who cheer them on, and build a network that allows them to chase a dream while they’re young and ready to start. In my world, I see a lot of sorority girls crushing it, from my daughter’s sorority sister being the SGA President at Alabama to girls like Hartwell who are making their mark in New York straight out of college. They’re way ahead of us at that age, and that’s how it should be. When the next generation outdoes us, it means we’ve done our job. You’ll love hearing Hartwell’s story, especially if you enjoy career inspiration. Share this episode with your teen or college-aged daughter to remind them that they’re also never too young to turn their passion into a business. @hartwellfurr @hartwellcollective @nannynetwork_ny
    Motherhood is a blessing, so don’t let anyone co Motherhood is a blessing, so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. It will challenge you, stretch you, and throw you into hard seasons, but the rewards are HUGE and make every difficult day worth it. I’ve yet to find any passion more motivating than loving and shaping the life of a child. Tomorrow my oldest daughter turns 23, and her birthday takes me back to the day she made me a mom. It was the best day of my life - not because I love her more than her sisters, but because she was the game-changer, the one who threw me into the deep end of love. New on my Substack is a story that celebrates the firstborn child. Comment FIRST and I’ll message you the link🩷 “As I cradled Ella in my arms, the concept of unconditional love sank in. In mere moments, she’d stolen my heart like no one ever had. I loved her not because of what she’d done already, or might do down the road, but because she exists. That was enough.”
    Raleigh, you blew me away! More than 400 girls and Raleigh, you blew me away! More than 400 girls and moms came together to hear a message about confidence and running your race well. Your smiles….your light….your joy….and your heart…made this mother/daughter event one I’ll always treasure. A huge thank you to Heather Word @chaenme for hosting and to the 40 volunteers who helped empower these girls and their moms in faith. I’m thankful for you! This was my first official signing of #isyourdaughterreadybook. Thank you to everyone who has gotten a copy, please continue to spread the word and share it with all your mom friends!!! #raleigh #motherdaughterevent #raisinggirls #mothersanddaughters #girlmom #girlmompodcast #empoweringgirlsthroughfaith
    “Erika Kirk is the Esther of our time.” @kayle “Erika Kirk is the Esther of our time.” @kayleighmcenany Only the power of the Holy Spirit alive in a human heart makes forgiveness like this possible or conceivable. What Charlie Kirk did for young men in compelling them rise up in faith I believe she will do for young women, meaning that together they’ll change the hearts and desires of an entire generation. Lord, be her Protector. Equip her for such a time as this. Surround her family with angels, draw close to meet their needs, and pour down supernatural strength and wisdom to push back the darkness in this age of confusion like only Christ’s love can do.
