The Better Mom Community is a place where we as moms can come together in the midst of our not-so-perfect lives to grow in grace and wisdom as we live out our calling as moms. I am soooo glad you are here! I so wish we were sitting across the table from one another, sipping (or gulping ---who am I kidding?!) coffee and chatting about life, but this is the next best thing right?
I love this little space on the internet. God has done an amazing work here and I am thrilled to share a bit about it with you. Many years ago when my kids were little, after spending much time feeling frazzled, trying to learn to do everything the best I could by myself, God reminded me that ALL OF US fall short and no one is perfect (not even us crazy, hot-mess moms)----- But we can learn from one another and we can get better.
I found all of these wonderful sites online to help me and I was gathering so much wisdom from so many different moms. This is where my idea was born. What if there was just one site to address the many topics and issues that we face as moms?! Moms of girls, moms of boys, homeschooling moms, working moms, moms who cook, moms who clean and organize, moms to be, new moms, struggling moms, and great moms all striving to be better moms together! Praise God that we can learn from one another and spur one another on! So August 1, 2011 The Better Mom was born. It is my prayer that God will use The Better Mom to inspire moms all over the world and I am blessed to be used as a vessel for Him.
So friend, pull up a chair, grab your coffee and let's chat. I can't wait to get to know you!
