Hi there! My name is Renee and I’m the mama behind More for Motherhood.
I’m a thirty-something mama in the throes of the “survival years”. I married my college-best-friend, Matt, and we have been not-so-newlyweds for the past 12 years. We are followers of Jesus and co-laborers in life and in work as we lead a college ministry together in the heart of South Carolina.
Those babes in our arms are my six year old, Aiden, four year old, Graham and 2 year old, Harper. I also recently became a mama to our fourth child, Wells (who has yet to be in a Christmas card picture 😉 ). We feel so blessed to be their parents–blessed and tired, that is ;). You can read their birth stories here (Aiden’s), here (Graham’s), here (Harper’s) and here (Wells’).
I started More For Motherhood because while I know that the survival years of parenting can be exhausting, I want more for us as Mamas. I want our families, our faith and even each of us as women, to thrive in these early years of parenting. I want more joy, more peace, more purpose in the day in and day out of Christian motherhood. Maybe you can relate?
So at More for Motherhood, I hope you’ll find resources + stories of Gospel parenting with a less-is-more attitude. Where Biblical wisdom is paired with tangible take-a-ways. Where gravity and levity go hand in hand because even the most serious of parents shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously all of the time. Know that each story, Scripture, recipe + mom-hack are offered with a heart to point our children (and even ourselves) to Jesus.
So grab that reheated coffee, Mama, and stay a while!
