A fresh start, a simple goal, and a gift for you 🎁

Your Kinder Source Dose of Kinder and Kindness Hello Mama, Do you set New Year's resolutions? And if you do... are you still going strong with yours? I usually set very simple, open-ended intentions. In 2025, my intention was to have courage in my spiritual life- to let others see Jesus in my actions, and hear me speak openly about my love of God's Word. At some point last year, I heard someone say, "If I followed you all day, would I find Jesus?" That one sentence pierced my heart. With that...

Finally Here - Your January Memory Verse Cards 🤍

Your Kinder Source Dose of Kinder and Kindness Hello Mama, Whew... this email is coming to you a bit later than planned and I want to be honest about why.

For the dog (don't pretend you haven't thought about it). 🎁 What Kind of Gift-Giver Are You This Year? 🎁 The...

We're juggling errands, emotions, expectations, and the desire to make sweet memories... all while keeping tiny humans alive and thriving. So I want to pause the noise and simply ask: How are you really doing? Not the "I'm fine" answer we give in passing. Not the "busy but good" we say at church. I mean your heart. Your...

A cloudy day can bring a grateful heart

The little "gut punch" I didn't know I needed

Your Kinder Source Dose of Kinder and Kindness Hello Mama, Have you ever been lovingly called out by your kid? I sure have - and it was a much needed gut punch. Not long ago, we were getting ready for the day... play clothes, brushed hair, the usual morning routine. I checked the weather since it can be a bit unpredictable this time of year in South Florida. It was going to be a cool(ish), fall day - cloudy, overcast, nothing special. And definitely not the normal sunny days we are used to....
