When I was called to be fruitful and multiply I didn’t realize the intention was for it to be in a deluge of boys. Our first son was named out of my German/Bavarian husband’s family repertoire; I thought I would have some time to gradually “pace” the next child(ren). Then along came two more boys… at the same time– My husband was feeling quite proud of himself. Love, after love, after love. I have been fortunate to marry my best friend, having an amazing, unique marriage, full of support and day-to-day compromises that define a mature love and suddenly-bloomed motherhood.

“I found the one my heart loves.” Song of Solomon 3:4

Although forever a Texan, I have enjoyed traveling extensively & have lived abroad, maintaining relationships with friends, now moms, in numerous spots around the globe; I believe that has blessed me with a broadened view of parenting and how one local outlook may not provide as much fullness of perspective. I have been continually edified by taking that larger, diverse view and hope that it is also helpful to readers when I insert those elements.

What is a wisemommy; who am I to say I’m wise? I’m wise enough to be humble in regards to the unguided and challenging human condition called motherhood, learn from my successes as much as I learn from my mistakes, and share them with other moms so that we can help each other.
