I just returned home yesterday from Allume, a Christian women’s blogging conference. It was a beautiful time of connection, reflection, and renewal.
While the logistics with childcare were a bit tricky this week, I’ve found that getting away for even just a day or two for a women’s retreat or conference allows me to return home refreshed. This means I’m a better mom and wife when I come home than when I left. It’s hard to argue with that benefit!
As you seek to parent with purpose, I’d encourage you to start looking at options for getting away for a few days yourself. Plan to attend your church’s women’s retreat or look for one of these in your area: Extraordinary Women Conference, Living Proof Live, Women of Faith.
Invest in your own spiritual development as a mom and you’ll come home a better and more purposeful parent!
