Summary
Happy April Pardon The Mess Family!
Do you have a fellow mom that always calls you higher? I have been friends with Kirsten for over 20 years and she is that kind of mom friend. When we catch up, we get to our priorities fast. And that’s what you hear about today - her priorities and how to make some progress in those.
Kirsten is a wife to retired NFL player Benjamin Watson, mom of 7 beautiful children, advocate, speaker, author and dear friend. Benjamin and Kirsten have been on before - you can listen to that episode here.
Â
As you’ll hear today, we talk about what’s most important. Kirsten shares what God is teaching her, how she keeps her marriage a priority and the calling she has as a mom to raise kids that know Jesus.Â
I absolutely love the end when she shares a few minutes of encouragement and a challenge. Kirsten challenges us to get after tough topics around the table and continue to make our homes a safe place for conversations.
Enjoy!

| 0:03.0 | Hey, parents, Easter is almost here. Can you believe it? Well, I loved my Easter baskets growing up. I don't know about you, but yes, they had candy. They also had a Cadbury egg, but my mom always included a new devotional or something like that |
| 0:21.3 | to help me grow in my faith. And I've really tried to pass down that same tradition to my kids |
| 0:26.2 | at Easter time. So for your Easter baskets, we've got you covered at Christian parenting with our |
| 0:30.6 | Easter bundle. You'll love it as parents because all of Christian parenting's trusted resources |
| 0:35.4 | are biblically sound. And your kids will love it because |
| 0:38.2 | they're just fun and colorful treats and gifts for them to help them grow in their faith. So here's |
| 0:43.7 | what the Easter bundle includes. The first thing is God's Holy Spirit and me. This is an interactive |
| 0:48.2 | 20-day devotional for kids ages 6 to 12. And this explores what it means to have God's spirit |

| 1:42.4 | Think about it. When you invest in well-made, |
| 1:44.8 | durable products, you're not just buying something that lasts longer. You're keeping waste out of |
