Any mother will tell you that when her first child came into the world, her life was forever changed. However, what nobody readily admits is, on that same day, ‘A Little Insanity’ comes kicking and screaming into your life.
While motherhood is the one of the highest honors anyone could bestow upon a woman, it does not come without great sacrifice. Our days are filled with trials and triumphs… Some days you feel like you’re on top of the world, while other days you’re being pulled in so many directions you feel like screaming.
One second you’re putting groceries away, the next thing you know, your child is barfing all over the new carpet. And just when you think you have everything under control, the circle of insanity repeats itself, over and over again. But instead of givng up, we mothers persevere; we love unconditionally; and we overcome!
I created this website/blog so that REAL mothers just like us could have a place to lay all the phony expectations aside and come share our true hearts, stories, ideas, tips, tricks, ways to have fun, encourage each other, laugh, let off steam, and to give/find solid advice!
You’re always welcome here! Even if you’re still in your Pj’s; hair unbrushed; kids screaming (or perhaps it’s you that’s screaming); just as you are, without any fear of condemnation – Imperfections and all!! Perhaps together we can spur one another on this crazy road of Motherhood.
I should also tell you what this site is NOT about… First of all, this is NOT a site to bash children, husbands or any other person. It is also NOT a site where we discriminate, judge, isolate, or treat anyone unkindly. – So please use the ‘Golden Rule’ when commenting or sharing and treat others as you would have them treat you! And lastly, it should NOT be a site where you measure your performance as a mother against. I hope you’ll understand that NONE of us is perfect or has all the answers (only God & the Bible has that).
More About Me…
Hi There! My name is Erika – thanks for reading down this far to find out a little more about me.
At this time, I have one precious son and an awesome, loving husband. My husband and I have been married since 1995 and our son joined the family at birth in 2005 through the amazing gift of adoption. We’re hoping that someday we might be blessed again through adoption and that our home will be filled with many more children to love.
I love the description of the ‘wife of noble character’ that is described in Proverbs 31:10-31 of the Bible. It is my sincere prayer that I might emulate daily the qualities found in such a woman, both in my home and my life. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, serving and attending our local church, sewing, cooking, gardening, reading, computers, and finding the best deal (is it just me, or is this beginning to sound like a sappy personal ad?) … and long walks on the beach! LOL! 
I hope this gives you a snapshot of who I am and the kind of person I strive to be. I’d love to know more about you, so feel free to drop me a line anytime!
God Bless!
Ever feel like… your life as a mother has taken you to places you never expected? Like repeating the same things over & over again; collapsing from exhaustion at end of the day; and (*gasp*) sounding like your own mother? One minute it’s sunshine and roses, & the next thing you know, your eye is twitching & you’re wondering how you got to this point. Well… you’re not alone!
Motherhood…is one of the best things that ever happened to me. But I quickly realized it required that I give up life as I’d known it. Most days are wonderfully unpredictable, yet painfully monotonous; comical, yet emotionally taxing; and never without a little insanity! Here you’ll find my journey, I hope you’ll stay and share yours too.
