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 […]

Motherhood Vignettes: A Mother’s Day Week Tribute #4

May 8, 2014

So far in the Vignette series this week, we’ve honored the women in our lives that are as dear to us as sisters, those who may be a bit older that stepped into a mothering role when our own mother was unavailable and the one or more dear friends who feel our joys and sorrows and […]

Motherhood Vignettes: A Mother’s Day Week Tribute #3

May 7, 2014

A Tribute to My Fellow Crier – Tracy’s Vignette Sitting next to the pool while the swimsuit-clad children take their lessons, I talk to Melissa.

Motherhood Vignettes: A Mother’s Day Week Tribute #2

May 5, 2014

Empty-Nest Mamas – Rachel’s Tribute Vignette In 2005 my young family made a big move to a new state. We had no job, two friends in the entire area and were clinging to God’s promise that not a single sparrow falls without His knowledge. Trusting Him to care for our every need, we continued in […]

Motherhood Vignettes: A Mother’s Day Week Tribute #1

May 4, 2014

In a week we will celebrate Mother’s Day by thanking our mothers and our grandmothers while those of us with children will revel in gifts, brunch, sappy cards or, in my case, getting out of town with 13 of my dearest mom friends to spend two nights NOT being moms. But, in all honesty, what each mom REALLY […]
