Momastery

I got to see my favorite, favorite, favorite blogger speak.....Glennon Melton of Momastry. Along with a bunch of others, I discovered her after her Don't Carpe Diem post that went viral & have been a devoted Monkee ever since. This is from her website: "Momastery is a place where we practice living bigger, bolder & truer on this earth. Where we remember that we can do hard things + love wins + we belong to each other."


How crazy is it that on her blog she raised $85,000 for a small non-profit home for teen moms in 5.5 hours with a maximum donation of $25?

She just came out with a new book Carry On Warrier, Thoughts on Life Unarmed, which I pre-ordered and devoured as soon as it came out. 

Her short book/speaking tour came to Plymouth of all places & I was so excited that I felt like I was going to a rock concert. Her blog posts are inspirational, give great advice & laugh out loud funny - and that's how her talk was. So funny, but at the same time she gave such great advice and I love how she simplified and broke down bible stories and her views on faith. So awesome to see her in person, what a treasure she is.

2nd row seats! Woohoo! Think this is where she's talking about Super Moms vs Slacker Moms and how each camp needs each other. She's admits she's a Slacker Mom & talked about how she goes to her kids' school parties and looks at all the work the Super Moms do to put on the parties, because, "who wants to do all that?" Ha!

Great parenting advice she gives her kids.... She doesn't care that they are the prettiest, get straight A's, or are the best on their soccer team. She just wants them to "show up, be brave & be kind."

Love this saying she posted this on her Facebook page a while ago....

Glennon does amazing work & I love being along for the ride, while keeping in mind to "Carpe a couple of Kairoses a day."
