Encouragement for Moms of Preschoolers
blog updates and family life
Hey, cheered on moms! I thought I’d write another quick post on what’s been going on for us as a family lately, and what I’ve been up to behind the scenes. First of all, we’re in the process of relocating to another town! We had to move because my husband was laid off, along with […] Read more…
We’re still alive, and we’re still moving. As a blogger, I can’t stand to see Cheered On Mom neglected, but as a crazy busy mom who is typing one-handed on her phone while holding a sick toddler, I have other priorities. We’re really amazed at how God is helping us with this move. Little example: […] Read more…
Merry Christmas! I thought I’d share something I wrote more than a year ago. This is why I love Christmas. Of all the Christian holidays, I love the story of Jesus’ birth the most. I realize that as a believer, Easter has the most significance, but as far as a story I treasure, it’s the […] Read more…
The day has finally arrived to announce to you all that I’m changing my blog name. I have a few butterflies right now, but I bet you have a few questions. Here’s the story of the change (known as rebranding) and why I made the decision. Why I Changed the Blog’s Name This name […] Read more…
ONE My Grandma This past week, we celebrated my grandma’s life. She’s joining her husband of 50+ earthly years in heaven, and I’m so glad for her. I’ll miss her, though. She was an OB tech/nurse and then co-owned a nursery for babies before retiring. She was all about family and, after God, we were […] Read more…
Today I’m doing a quick Friday check-in (it’s not a thing) because it’s been too long and I won’t be deterred by all the things conspiring against me! #bloggingaddict One of those things was a tornado outbreak in our area and other parts of the state yesterday. Our town wasn’t hit, but the kids and […] Read more…
Hooray for Friday Favorites! It’s time once again for all of the internet to share the things that made our week just a little bit better. And to do a little victory dance. And to get the song “My Favorite Things” stuck in our heads. (Sorry.) So here are a few things I am loving lately, […] Read more…
Two months ago, my husband turned 40. I knew he wanted an experience more than a gift, so I looked to the obvious: Des Moines. This city has evolved since I visited it on our more exciting weekends as a kid. It’s the same loveable place, but more …awesome. (I should really be a travel […] Read more…
Hooray for Friday Favorites! This week I’m sharing my latest favorite entertainment. Summer isn’t the time to over-think things, ladies, and I’m officially NOT. 🙂 Ry and I are about to take a little weekend getaway (more details next week!) so I’m keeping this short and fun-filled. ONE Actually Reading a Book (Act Two by […] Read more…
Hooray for Friday Favorites! This week was another jam-packed, fun, lazy summer time for us as a family. We jumped in muddy puddles (there are a LOT of those lately–pray against flooding!) and ate more popsicles whenever the sun came out. Here’s what I’m loving this week! ONE Bible Journaling This week I turned on some worship […] Read more…
SUMMERTIME, summertime, SUM-SUM-Summertime! Anybody else singing that annoying song? Well, you are now, aren’t you? I’m so excited for summer. Our littlest is two now, and it feels like there are a lot more seasonal possibilities for us as a family. This year is going to be full of summer fun. Our Summer Bucket List […] Read more…
Hooray for Friday Favorites! This week was full of summer fun and hard work, too. ONE Homemade Popsicles I think I only need to say one thing about these popsicles: I used Nutella. If you haven’t made homemade popsicles with ribbons of Nutella running through them, here’s your peer pressure to do it ASAP. They taste […] Read more…
