Little Bit of Lavender
Where did the inspiration for “Busy Moms, Christian Homes” come from? My blog, Little Bit of Lavender. The more I wrote, the more I realized moms needed another way to be encouraged. Sometimes you don’t have five minutes to sit and read but you do have five minutes to listen while completing other tasks! So this podcast is an extension of the resources available on my website so moms can build a Christian home while they are cooking, cleaning and loving their babies. If you have an extra minute or need more resources, check out my website Little Bit of Motherhood for all things lavender!
