Don’t we all want to be one fun mom?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be carefree and have meaningful moments with our children all the time? To serve them only the best foods and have all of the “I-shoulds” crossed off our list?
I do want to be One Fun Mom, but I’m not quite sure I’ll ever feel like I attained that goal.
My name is Christy and honestly, I’m learning to be a fun mom. I’m learning to work through my past and find who God made me. I’m working through the struggles we all have as moms and hoping to come out more grace-filled and soft-spirited in the end.
In this space you’ll find my thoughts on
- Anger
- Recovery & Healing
- Lifestyle
- Babies and Children and Mothering them (I am a mom, after all)
- The Home
- Jesus
…plus a few varied topics including homeschool, food and feeding lots of people, real life at our house, and the beach – also pregnancy, which apparently I’m pretty good at.

A Little More About Me:
I live on the Central Coast of California with my surfer husband, {almost} 5 children, and no pets – except one tadpole we’ve had since May, totally breaking my “find-it-and-keep-it-for-one-day” policy. It sits on my counter in an ugly orange container and if I’m honest, I’ve kind of been waiting for it to die so I can have a clean counter again. But I’m a fun mom!, so I haven’t banished it to a bedroom. Besides, if I did, the baby would find it and eat it.
Right now we are participating in a part-time homeschool program, so my two oldest boys go to school Tuesday/Friday and I teach them the other three days.
I like to exercise almost to excess, but haven’t since I found out I was pregnant in May-and probably won’t until the kids are old enough to babysit themselves – I’m pretty sure that’s “never”.
I tend to speak before I think, the good side to this is I’m pretty genuine.
People are high on my priority list and if you have an idea for fun I will probably be there, children in tow.
I’m a wannabe granola mom, but you can’t tell it by looking in my cupboards where we harbor mac’n’cheese and occasionally Pop Tarts.
Jesus finds me every day and I’ll probably tell you all about that. He accepts and embraces me even when I screw up with my sweet little ones or with my life.
I love that you’re here and am glad to call you “friend”! Please never hesitate to send me an email or leave a comment. My heart is to encourage you, so if you have ideas or just need to share please do!
