May 1, 2017

Hello to all you mamas at Made to Mother! I am so happy to guest post here today! I have to admit, ladies, that I feel weak. Not just right now, but almost all of the time. The pace of this life and of motherhood in general has me exhausted! Kids’ schedules are ridiculously packed […]

The Musings of a Middle-Aged Mother – Mary’s Story

April 17, 2017

I recall the day my first child was born like it was yesterday.  After a relatively comfortable pregnancy, Elena’s due date came and went without a stirring.  As I sat in eager anticipation of our baby’s arrival, I had ample time to ponder how my life was about to change. Finally, on Friday, March 26, […]

Why Do We Bother to Have Children? – Anja’s Story

April 10, 2017

There’s a billion reasons not to have children and only one good reason to: LOVE. I’m not talking Hollywood love, but the real deal. The love that makes women lift cars, take bullets, fight evil grown men, and single-handedly become supernaturally empathetic when it comes to their kids. The LOVE with all caps that leaves […]

Honor Those We Lead – Cathy’s Story

April 3, 2017

Today I had a “moment.” I lost my cool and switched faces with the person I never want to become. My “moment” involved Legos, my living room carpet, and a two-year-old who puts everything in her mouth. The Legos needed a more appropriate home. FAST. I loudly threatened to throw them away while chasing a […]

A couple months back, I was approached by Ambassador International to be a part of a book review tour they were launching for Chimene Shipley Dupler’s The High Calling of Motherhood.

The Do’s and Dont’s of Comforting a Mom After a Miscarriage – Guest Post by Lisa from The Family Road Map

March 6, 2017

My heart danced when my dad made a baby bed out of wood for my dolls. All I ever wanted to be when I grew up was to be a mamma. In time I would learn that God and I were not on the same page. His timing was not my timing when it came to […]

A Life-Changing Feat – Toki’s Story

February 20, 2017

It was an early Saturday morning during my 38th week of pregnancy when I woke up with the urge to pee. I was WIDE awake after, trying to flop around and get comfortable when I felt a small, warm surge flow out of me…and it didn’t stop! Freaking out, I whacked my partner next to […]

I Trust You, Jesus, and My Hope is in You

February 13, 2017

I’ve been going through a rough patch lately. I felt a call and answered it, putting myself out there, expecting rave reviews and open doors. But instead I was met only with silence. And waiting. And ultimately, self-doubt and defeat. It’s easy to glance over the fence and long for the yard next door, but […]
