Welcome to Happy Mom Life! I hope to share with you recipes from our kitchen, book reviews, and a glimpse into our family life. I am a wife of a wonderfully supportive and loving husband, mom of four growing children, faith-filled follower of God, and a fantastic home cook...if I do say so myself! Aren't we all in our own homes? Despite my humble nature, I hope you will enjoy the recipes I share with you.
I'm sure you shrieked when you read mom of 4! I know...kinda crazy, but I call myself lucky! Why? Because I am fortunate to be the mom of a snarky, but loving 7 year old, Nicholas, and three BONUS children, my stepchildren, Michael (16), Emma (13), and Matthew (10). You will come to learn that I talk about the kids as my own, and I truly believe that. While we are a blended family, that doesn't stop us from loving and caring for each other the way that we do!
I've been given an opportunity, however not by choice, to be a stay at home mom at this point in my life. This has been a challenge for me, not because I don't love my kids or enjoy being home, but it was the path that God has put in front of me. I often find myself asking, what's your plan for me? What's next? Throughout this journey I've learned that we must be patient and trust in God. I'll be honest, this takes A LOT of effort, and something I strive for each day. Sure it's easy to trust in God when things are all honky dory, but not so much during the hard times.
So there you have it, a brief introduction to me and my family. I look forward to getting to share our lives with you, as well as get to know you all better!
Blessings, Jen
