Quiet Time for Moms: Why I Need a Beautiful Place
This post: Quiet time for moms isn’t about productivity—it’s about creating space to breathe, reflect, and feel whole again.
Life hasn’t allowed much quiet lately. So here I am—waiting for the sky to fade from black to blue long before the clock even touches 6 a.m.
(Yes, I’m an early bid. And yes, I have to take naps sometimes.)
The house is chilly this morning. I grab a favorite blanket from the linen closet and brew a cup of tea.
I reach for my Bible, my current read, and my phone for some mood music (my playlist is here).
I curl into the corner of the couch and let it all go—the pressure, the noise, the swirl.
Scripture. Peaceful music. A soft rhythm that settles my soul.
As I read and pray, the busy places inside me begin to still.
My tense muscles relax.
My thoughts grow quiet.
And something deep inside me begins to reset.
Why Quiet Time for Moms Isn’t a Luxury
I’ve been thinking lately: why do I need so much quiet? Why do I crave solitude?
And the truth is, I’m not trying to escape my life. I’m trying to stay present in it—grounded, clear, and filled again.
I am refreshed by time alone with the Lord—just music, a book, maybe my journal or a blank screen.
And when I go too long without that time? Life gets heavy fast. Small problems feel huge. Everything feels like too much.
Quiet time for moms isn’t just self-care. It’s spiritual survival.
This sacred space with God refills what the world empties. It’s how I return to love and clarity and presence—for myself and the people I care for.
This morning, in that silence, I prayed words that surprised me:
“I just need a beautiful place.”
Not more clarity.
Not more sleep. (Okay, maybe more sleep.)
Not a better schedule.
Just beauty.
And the more I sat with those words, the more I knew they were true.
The Beauty I Crave in My Quiet Time
I need my home to be a beautiful place. Not perfect, but open, warm, and welcoming.
I need my heart to be a beautiful place—free from bitterness, clutter, and fear.
I need my mind to be a beautiful place. Scripture and books help me clear the noise and think true things again.
(I recently came across a resource called Every Moment Holy—a collection of liturgies and prayers for ordinary rhythms and soul-weary moments. It looks like something worth sitting with during quiet time.)
I need my words to be beautiful—especially the ones I speak to my husband, my kids, my people, and you, sweet reader.
I even want this blog to be a beautiful place.
Tucked away from the noise of the world.
Like a cozy corner cafe—quiet, gentle, nourishing.
There’s enough fear and frenzy out there. I don’t want it taking root here.
Instead, I choose the quiet presence of Christ. It’s the most beautiful place I know.
Want a Quiet Reset of Your Own?
If you’re feeling the weight of too much noise or too many needs, you’re not alone. Whether it’s five minutes or a full morning, your quiet time matters.
You don’t have to wait for everything to calm down to find peace—you can create a beautiful place right where you are.
And if you need help getting started, I’d love to share my Introverted Woman’s Weekly Reset with you. It’s the rhythm I return to when I need a fresh start (or re-start).
Maybe what you need right now isn’t more time or a better routine—it’s a beautiful place to begin again. A quiet space in your day. A soft landing for your soul.
If you’ve been running on empty or longing for something deeper, I hope this encourages you to claim a few minutes of quiet.
Here’s to creating space—for beauty, for quiet, for God.
