Mandy From The Trenches of Motherhood also has a book review blog. Today I want to feature a post from this blog. I can’t wait to read this book.
First of all, over at my book review blog (To Read, Or Not To Read) you can read about this family…
…and their amazing story. It’s sad, it’s touching, and it’s the story of strength and hope when life is hard. Really hard.

The Mom-Stuff Blog of the week is the Adventures of Supermom. Michell really is a supermom. The more time I spend on her sight the more I find a mom who takes her responsibility as a mother very seriously. She has very high values and she is teaching them to her children. I think we all can learn something from her. If you have not been to her site make sure you do. You will not be disappointed. I chose this post to share with you because it really made me look at my life. You have heard the saying, less is more. This is something we have to decide for ourselves in every area of our lives. I challenge you to not only read this but to ponder it for a while.
More Isn’t Always Better
I’ve been thinking about blogging about this from time to time but then never get around to it.
Bigger isn’t always better. More isn’t always better. I’m speaking in terms of personal belongings. Like your house and possesions. Things that you acquire thinking you have to have or you will not be complete.
We live in a modest sized house. Yet, we have outgrown our house with all these youngin’s. There is ZERO privacy in this house. Just ask Superdad.
We often get asked about getting a bigger house because we have run out of room. Sure, that would be nice. But it’s not needed. We are very happy with the home we have built together. It couldn’t be in a better location in our town. We are close to everything. (more…)
The Mom-Stuff Blog of the week is Katherine Center. Katherine is a novelist who’s words flow deep into your heart. I chose this post to share with you because it really touched my soul. She invites us to her grandparent’s ranch on the river with beautiful pictures and she welcomes us into her reflection with her words. “How can we be connected so profoundly and never have meet?” Katherine speaks novels in a very few words.
My grandparents’ ranch is on the Brazos river, a perpetually brown, sandy-bottom river outside Houston. (more…)
The Mom-Stuff Blog Tour wants to introduce you to Katherine Center.
The Mom-Stuff Blog Tour is really excited to visit Katherine this week. We believe all of our moms will enjoy this week with her. I want to share a video with you . This was my first introduction to Katherine’s work. I love this video! It is an example of how I feel about motherhood. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Meet Katherine
Katherine Pannill Center started writing fiction when she was in sixth grade, when she and her two best friends filled countless spirals with stories about meeting Duran Duran at the mall and bewitching the band members into falling in love with them. These stories involved kissing, weeping, limos, the occasional log cabin, and many gentle blankets of snow.
Around that time, Katherine also started keeping journals, logging with great sincerity every detail of middle school life as she knew it. Lists of friends! Lists of boys! Lists of must-have shoes! Lists of personal flaws and areas for improvement! The journals (though not the lists) continued through college, and now Katherine has storage boxes of them taking up far too much room in her attic.
Katherine always intended to be a writer. At St. John’s School, in Houston, where she clocked her K-12 years, she generated stacks of poems, school newspaper columns, and short stories. At Vassar College, she majored in English, wrote short stories, lettered her poems onto metal signs that she put up around campus, and wrote a novella (which won the Vassar College Fiction Prize).
