Living in the Shadow of Being a Birth Mother

May 17, 2015

In honor of birth mother’s day on 5/9 and Mother’s Day on 5/10, I wrote a guest post for the Portland Moms Blog. I am a wife of ten years, and stay-at-home mother to three little ones under eight. From an outsider’s perspective, I appear to be just an average Christian church-going, minivan-driving, play date-attending […]

When You Have No Clue How to Parent Well – Guest Post from Amy Dalke

Don’t Give Up, Mama: Guest Post for Creative Home Keeper

It would be so easy to give up. To throw in this towel of motherhood and let someone else fight my domestic wife and mommy battles. The world tells me that I am not enough if I am just a mom. That I could be more productive and more valuable to society if I spent […]

September 17, 2014

If there is a crossroads between young and old, I think I have arrived there. At 34, I feel like I have one foot in my youth and one foot over the threshold of being old. Now, before you laugh and dismiss me on this, take a moment to ponder it for yourself. If you […]

A gift of Hope Adoptions

February 15, 2014

I was recently contacted by someone from my old college days at Hillsdale College in Michigan. She had read my story published on BraveLove and asked me to do a guest post on her blog for her adoption agency, A Gift of Hope Adoptions. Of course, I am happy to shamelessly promote M2M in every way […]
