Saren’s kids playing in the leaves

It’s fall here in the northern hemisphere–and for many of us, that means cooler weather, changing leaves, and lots of opportunities for family fun. In this episode from our archives, April (Director of Power of Moms) and Saren share how their families take advantage of this time of year to build lasting memories.

Family fun doesn’t need to be about complicated decorations or wearing ourselves out with dozens of events.  But with a little bit of planning and a deliberate-motherhood mindset, this fall is destined to be the best one yet!

  1. Could you give us the quote that April said at the end of the podcast? And who it was by. I loved it. Thanks for all you do to help us be better mothers.

  2. Thanks Heidi! This is the quote: “Out of the dreariness, into its cheeriness, come we in weariness home.” -Richard L. Evans Quote Book I love that quote, too!

  3. Oh how funny! I just paused and replayed that quote section twice so that I could write down the quote and afterwards saw the above comment 🙂 This podcast was perfectly timed with what I was feeling I wanted to work on and appreciated the brainstorming session with you two! Thank you!

  4. I want to read Shawnis post about ancestors traditions, but the link above says “404 not found” thanks for looking into this for me. The recipes look delicious.
