Back-to-School & Homeschool Routines ✏️
Whether your kids are headed to a classroom or gathered around the kitchen table, a little structure goes a long way. Try these tips to make mornings smoother:
Start Small: Add one new habit each week (like packing lunches the night before).
Create Visuals: Use a simple chart for younger kids — pictures of brushing teeth, grabbing backpacks, etc.
Anchor with Faith: Begin with a short prayer or verse, something simple to remind everyone of God’s presence in their day.
Our Mom of the Month for September is…Heather L.!
Here’s what one of her dear friends had to say about her:
“Heather is such a kind friend, but an even more amazing mom to 3! She’s always putting everyone first and manages to homeschool, do all the mom duties, and creates such a loving environment for her kids. And she loves Jesus! 🤍 someone I look up to as a wife and mother.“
Congrats, Heather! Enjoy a tasty treat from Mela Coffee Roasting Co.!

Blog: Breaking into a Friend Group That Feels Already Established
We’ve all been there — walking into a playdate or event and feeling like the “new mom.” Here are ways to gently step in, start conversations, and maybe even find your next lifelong friend.
🙏 September Bible Verse of the Month
“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
When the schedules fill up and the to-do list feels endless, remember: slowing down isn’t lazy — it’s sacred. God often speaks in the quiet moments we make room for.
