Redeem the Time
We recently held our second MumHeart Conference here in the NT. Our theme was Redeeming the time. We didn’t realise how fitting this theme would be. With all that is happening in the world around us, it seems that God was preparing us for the weeks us with this...
Curiosity is the Foundation for Learning
Curiosity is a foundational aspect to learning – for anyone. We want our children to be curious about the world, but they will only follow our lead. Are you a curious mum? Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures – Lovelle Drachman When it comes to...
Prayer: A Two-way Conversation
When was the last time you had a good chat with your father? Your Heavenly Father? When was the last time you had a really good long conversation with Him? Prayer is two-way communication. To pray is not to prattle, to pepper with requests or to complain, but we can...
Celebrating the End of the Year

The topic of our WA19 Mum Heart Conference was “Homeschooling from the Heart”. The key idea was that for us to impact our children’s hearts - we must teach from our heart. The heart is the place where we hold beliefs and values; we then process those beliefs...
Come Unto Me
Being a wife can be wearisome. Being a mother can be wearisome. Life in general can be wearisome. Sometimes we can’t pinpoint it to one thing. It’s cumulative of many things. Where do we go, what do we do when life becomes overwhelming and we feel we have nowhere...
Nourishing Your Soul
If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would only have courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day,...
