Description

Come see how often our good intentions accidentally make our lives more complicated — from elaborate birthday cakes to overfull calendars and holiday expectations. She walks through practical, real-life examples of choosing the simple option on purpose so you have more room for peace, prayer, and presence with your family and with the Lord.

Learn about:

  • Why our excitement often pushes us toward complex plans

  • How "just as special" simple choices can be (like a basic chocolate cake)

  • What to do when your schedule is packed and something has to give

  • Letting kids be disappointed instead of over-performing as a mom

  • Simple ways to approach holidays, gifts, activities, and home life

  • A peek at the new Mary's Heart, Martha's Order Planner and how it supports a simpler, more prayerful rhythm

A gentle but clear invitation to step out of the circus, choose the simpler path, and make more space for Jesus in your actual daily life.
