Spring is all about fresh starts—flowers bloom, birds sing, and the world feels alive again! But let’s be real… as moms, we’re often too busy drowning in laundry, to-do lists and driving kids to soak in the beauty of the season.
Between sports practices, snack duty at games, and figuring out what’s for dinner again, who has time to actually enjoy the season? So, here’s a quick list of things to try for a little spring renewal.
Just like we declutter closets, we need to declutter our minds. Here are a few ways to clear your heart and mind to open yourself to more peace and balance in your life.
Refresh Your Routine
Swap out stale routines for new ones—try a sunrise devotional or a gratitude journal. When you thank God, you gain more peace. No matter what you’re going through, God is there. Get my Free 7 day devotional for busy moms HERE.
Let Go of Mom Guilt
Release perfectionism and embrace progress. Say no to the things that drain you and yes to what truly matters. Pray this when you feel overwhelmed: “Lord, help me choose joy over busyness and faith over fear.”
Powerful Prayer Challenge
Commit to 5 minutes of prayer time each morning to start your day with peace. I use the Bible App on my phone for a quick and impactful way to start the day off right!
Morning Boost
Instead of mindlessly scrolling your phone, start your day with a deep breath and a simple prayer: “Jesus, be my peace today.” Listen to a worship playlist while making breakfast. Keep one Bible verse taped to the mirror to read throughout the week. My favorite verses are Galatians 6:9 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” and Hebrews 13:6 “Life and peace is all about perspective. Sometimes, to get through the storm, we must look beyond the storm”.
Ditch the Hustle, Embrace the Joy
What’s one thing that lights you up? Reading, painting, dancing in the kitchen? DO IT. (Seriously, schedule it in like an appointment.) This is YOUR 10 minutes of freedom and joy. Embrace it.
Sabbath Reset
Pick a day—or even a few hours—to fully unplug. No laundry. No meal prep. Just resting in God’s presence and enjoying your family. Make it a weekly time to have family fun time. Whether it is Friday Family Night or Sunday Fun Day make it a tradition that will last for years to come. Sign up for the FREE summer blog series on Family Fun Night for encouragement, ideas and freebies.
Nature Walk
Get outside, breathe in that fresh air, and talk about how God’s fingerprints are everywhere! Have the kids collect leaves and flowers to make a Creation Collage at home! We do this every fall and every spring. All the new things we find are discussion worthy for sure!
DIY Resurrection Garden
A hands-on, easy-to-make craft that brings the Easter story to life. (Think small pot, soil, a tiny tomb made of rocks, and a sprinkle of imagination.)
Family Picnic & Praise
Pack lunch, grab a Bluetooth speaker, and have an outdoor praise party! Dance, sing, and let loose—it’s impossible to be stressed while belting out Raise a Hallelujah!
Spring is your reminder that God makes all things new—and that includes YOU! So take a deep breath, let go of overwhelm, and step into this season with joy.
