Mom Motivation Quotes (Subscriber Freebie)

November 15, 2015 by Jaimi Erickson 2 Comments

Ready to have the ENERGY to be the best mom you can be? Get started! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome back! Did you already get started here?

Welcome to Mom Motivation Mondays where weekly contributing writers share their motherhood experiences to encourage you to find the joy in being a mom.

{This week: Post by Jaimi}
Mom motivation quotes to cure the bad moments.I need to stay positive, upbeat and clear-headed. I can’t let the kids behavior pull me into frustration, although it does happen. I want to share with you what I came up with to stay focused on the positive no matter the challenges of the day as a stay-at-home mom. Lately, I have needed a little pick-me-up in the afternoon. It is the time of day right before dinner when I think self-control starts to leave my children’s bodies. They start to get impatient with each other and argue a bit more. Trying to juggle dinner, homework time, and toddler meltdowns inspired me to find a fix.

Do you have moments in your day where you just need some simple words of wisdom to stay positive? I remember thinking a couple years ago that I should create some artwork with Bible verses and motivational quotes to help keep our home positive and inspire wisdom in my children. A blogger-friend of mine inspired the idea. (You can read about that here.)

My idea to be creative didn’t happen. Life left little time for craftiness and artwork, but the need to motivate myself in a moment of struggle was still needed. I wanted to create a way to inspire myself, to stay positive for me and my family. I did and now I want to share it with you.

Mom Motivation Quotes

I decided to put together some of my favorite motivational quotes that I have created and shared over on The Stay-at-Home Mom Survival Guide Facebook page. I printed them out and displayed them around my home as little pieces of motivation for me. I need to give myself a break in the rough moments. Our day starts early in the morning, goes all day and often into the night. I have to keep myself positive.  This is working.

I put the quotes together for you too with the hope that they can inspire you, keep you positive in the tough moments, or just help you start your day with a joyful outlook.

The only catch to this freebie is you have to subscribe to my free weekly newsletter to receive access to the subscriber-only page. It is a way for me to say thank you to those of you who subscribe, read along and share the ideas you find here with other moms. No stay-at-home mom needs to think her time at home is worthless. It is worth it to be a stay-at-home mom, and I make it my mission to be sure stay-at-home moms know that!

Mom Motivation cards subscriber freebie

I recently read a blog post with creative ways to write truth around the house. I already had this subscriber freebie planned, but I wanted to be sure I shared the link to that post too because it is so helpful for moms. You can take the free mom motivation quotes I am offering you and create your own artwork from them, or simply cut them apart and display them in places where they will catch your eye at just the needed time-like I did in my home.

I simply printed off the quotes sheet, cut out each one and put a small ring of tape on the back of each to stick it to the wall. (Bathroom mirrors work too.)

Place these in spots around the house where you often find yourself feeling worn down or frustrated. I put one near the door for when we are getting ready to leave in the morning (it can be stressful some days). Another spot is your child’s room-the twins still wake up at night, so I placed one on the wall of their room to remind me not to give up or get overwhelmed.

It might seem like a small thing to place these around your house. Maybe it will be uncomfortable for you to have others see them. If so, place them in your nightstand and glance at them before you go to bed or right when you wake up. Place them in your car. The inside of the kitchen cupboard works too. You don’t have to display them all, but maybe one or two will keep you focused on the fact that doing what you do does matter every day-we don’t get this time with our children returned to us.

One of the best things about posting these around the house was my oldest son started noticing them and reading them out loud. I love that he is reading this inspiration and I get to talk about why it is on the wall. My children learn how I handle stress, so if they can see that this strategy to stay positive works, and use it as they grow, I have helped them while helping myself!

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are kid-made; some were gifts to commemorate milestones like marriage and births; some we purchased each year with the theme of that year to remind us. 

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?

Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been going well. Weaving the activities in as learning, art and service projects in our school days has been our way of fitting in the extras this month. 

It is not that we ignore acts of kindness other times of the year. An act per day when some require driving or leg work to drop off gifts, cards or gather supplies adds some time. 

I want to keep this going after Christmas too to keep us actively displaying love and being the hands and feet of Jesus. Probably more for me than the kids!

To do that I want to make a bigger list of actions we can take. We have 25 plus a couple resources from @shelivesfree  and @coffeecupsandcrayons I will plug into a blog post. 

One act we did was decorating and sending Christmas cards to the grandparents. It was our “keep the hands busy and the mouths quiet” during read aloud time. (My method...) 

What are the random acts of kindness on your list? What are acts of kindness others have done for you that have been appreciated?
