I am Wynter. Wife to Jonathan and mama to Chloe, Adaya and Liam. I am a writer, artist and former marcomm editor, avid gardener, TV lover and chocolate-covered cherries addict. I am also a birth mom to a teenage boy somewhere out there. You can read more about that here, or for ALL the messy details, you can order a copy of the book I wrote about him and my journey to choosing adoption. It is also available as an ebook for Kindle.

I never truly realized the power of motherhood until I found out we were expecting Chloe in 2007. Being a mother has changed my life. And it was only recently that I realized how much I am influenced by the way I was mothered and the mothers around me. I wanted to know if other women had similar experiences.

Motherhood is such a powerful force in many women’s lives, and when we engage with other women swapping stories of life in the mommy trenches, it helps us remember that we are not alone in this battle of womanhood. We ALL have a story to tell and SOMEONE out there will be moved by hearing them.

I want to help tell your diverse stories of how you have been shaped, inspired, and encouraged by the women around you, and how you have been changed by your specific circumstances of motherhood. When we tell our stories, they continue to shape, inspire, encourage, and change others for generations to come. And so, the Made to Mother (M2M) Project was founded!
