I Love Give-Aways With Integrity

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

As a mommy blogger I read a lot of blogs that offer free gifts and prizes for promoting websites and programs. There have been a very select few that I have entered because I get easily overwhelmed and I strive to make sure that everything I write and everything that I do is with a greater purpose.

Lately, I’ve been discovering blogs that are so inspirational and beautiful. I’ve been sharing some of them with you via my bi-monthly e-zine. It’s been such a joy to find kindred spirits out in the blogosphere who are helping moms simplify and get back to basics.

I couldn’t resist entering this giveaway contest at simplemom.com – the giveaways are breathtaking, sweet, and, of course, simple. My favorite giveaway is the One Pearl necklace. The story behind this jewelry is so unique and heartwarming.

So, I hope you will visit simplemom.com today and submit your chance(s) to win, mama. Good Luck!

Remembering Our Purpose

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

n79487707966_4345Parenting young children can be a lot like one of my favorite movies, Ground Hog Day. I haven’t seen it in awhile and I think I’ll find it on Netflix and watch it again.  It’s one of those movies that makes me laugh and just feel good by the end.

Fortunately, I have the joy and honor to connect one-on-one with other moms through coaching to keep my days interesting and inspirational, unlike Bill Murray’s character.

I know that for you, life right now may be a series of disturbed nightly rest, early mornings, daily tasks of getting yourself ready and one or more children, setting up the play dough or the paints, cleaning it up, making snack, bundling to go outside, coming inside, diaper changes or potty breaks or accidents, wiping faces and bottoms and noses, putting shoes on and taking them off, washing dishes, kids, and dogs, cooking, cleaning, carpooling…

I think we forget why we’re doing all of this. The big picture gets lost along the way.

A client and I read this virtues card this morning to help ground us in that bigger picture.  It was wonderful to read the words and I thought more moms would benefit from the card as well.  We know that the bigger picture is about nurturing our children into people of character.

I remember my birth doula told me “every push is bringing you closer to meeting your new baby.”

Maybe every new challenge is bringing you closer to your true self.

Fortitude

Fortitude is strength of
character.  It is the will to
endure no matter what
happens, with courage,
confidence, and patience.
Fortitude is deeply
rooted in the bedrock of
our will.  We cultivate it
by strengthening our
resolve to face whatever
comes.  It springs from
devotion to a purpose we
believe to be real and
important.  It grows as we
face and overcome
insurmountable obstacles.
It keeps us going.  Our
fortitude can astonish us.

2010 Video Debut!

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Hey Mama,

If you’re seeing this post via email, you’ll need to click on the link to go to my blog so you can see my new video invitation debut.  I got a flip camera this past Fall and I’ve been hankering to use it.

It’s always fun to see the person behind the e-zine and the posts, eh?  I’m a mama just like you!  Hope you’ll click “play” to listen to my 2010 message about The Mother’s Circle!

Day 12: 12 Days to Stop Yelling

Friday, January 1st, 2010

supportYou did it! You have reached the last coaching post toward your goal to yell less.  Congratulations!

I want to end our 12 day series with an invitation.

If it’s been helpful to you to have frequent support through these daily posts, you may be interested in learning more about a new program I’m developing.

The program will be available for only 30 moms who are ready to commit to making parenting their daily spiritual practice.  This unique group of moms will become part of my inner circle group – The Mother’s Circle.

The program will include:

  • 1-1 personal phone & email coaching
  • group support – monthly Q&A call, 24/7 group moderated forum
  • weekly parenting videos
  • noblemother book club! (read 4 amazing books, or at least get to pretend that you did, in 2010)
  • free access to my podcast library, resources
  • free access to any virtual teleclasses or in-person workshops
  • VIP Invitation to my Mother’s Circle beach retreat for Fall 2010!

If you can relate to the idea that mothering is work that requires you to keep learning and remaining open to deep personal growth, then this is the right group for you.

Mothers in the circle will become connected, despite their on-line location.  Your desire to parent intentionally and with clarity will be a unique quality the circle will share.

Be sure to learn more here and don’t hesitate to ask any questions.  More details will be revealed soon.

Happy Holidays!

Friday, December 25th, 2009

feltnativity1Dear Mamas,

Today is a day to enjoy your family as so many have it off from work and school. I will be back to share with you more support toward your goal of yelling less after the break.

I hope your day is filled with lots of love, affection, and smiles from your little ones.  You’re making memories.

I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of your mothering journey. It is such a joy and an honor to have such a noble and thoughtful tribe of women.

Wishing you a very Happy Holiday!

Warmly, Raelee

My 5 Favorite Mommy Bloggers

Friday, December 11th, 2009

There are so many mom bloggers out there and I just want to help you connect to the best I’ve found on the web.  These are blogs I read often and they are blogs that truly help me in my own life as woman, wife, and mother.

1.  http://theparentingpassageway.com/ – Carrie is the author of this blog, a mom of 2 daughters and a son.  Her posts are amazing to me.  They are chock full of real-life triumphs and challenges.  She’s extremely insightful and knowledgeable.  She is influenced by Waldorf philosophy in her approach to mothering and I always learn fascinating bits of information from her.

2.  http://www.peertrainer.com/ – Jackie is the co-founder of this blog and she authors most of the posts.  She’s a mom who is in excellent health and provides me with daily inspiration and knowledge about staying fit and eating well.  I love her approach.  Today’s blog post, she did a video about the top 5 things she keeps in her fridge.  I love that!

3.  http://www.momversation.com/ – I do like blogs that are uplifting and motivating and do not let motherhood look like some sort of freak side-show or a comedy of errors.  However, I am highly entertained and sometimes even enlightened by the moms who create these video posts on different topics that affect all of us.  It’s really fun to hear the different perspectives – it gets my own wheels spinning on what I would say if I were interviewed on the topic.

4.  http://www.soulemama.com/ – I don’t frequent it as much as the first two, but when I want to see some beautiful photos that capture the life of motherhood, I know where to go.  Amanda Soule is just a sweet, creative, humble mama.  And I just love her use of photography, nature, and the everyday.  She makes mothering look good.

5.  http://dagmarbleasdale.com/ - I am a subscriber of Dagmar Bleasdale’s blog.  She’s a mom who is passionate about breastfeeding and has an adorable toddler named Landon.  She’s originally from Germany and I started reading her posts when she was blogging about her trip to visit her family in Germany.  I love learning new things and especially have a little window into the lives of other people from other places.  Dagmar has a lovely blogging style and it’s always fun to see her new pictures.

So, there you have it.  The top 5 blogs that I read and enjoy.  What are you favorite blogs?
