Join The Motherhood Menagerie

A gathering place for women who are building homes, raising families, and walking with Jesus.

But it is also demanding, exhausting, stretching, and deeply refining.

Some days feel joyful and full. Other days feel heavy and lonely.

And yet through every season, women have always gathered together to share wisdom, encouragement, and the lessons learned along the way.

That is the heart behind The Motherhood Menagerie.

Not just a blog. Not just a resource library.

But a place where women can come together and remind one another of what is true.

That our work matters.
That our homes are sacred spaces.

And that we were never meant to do this alone.

Motherhood is beautiful.

Frequently Asked Questions

For years I found myself longing for a space where mothers could talk honestly about real life.
Not just the polished moments.
But the hard ones too.
Postpartum struggles.
Long nights with sick babies.
Solo parenting during demanding work schedules.
Busy seasons that stretch every ounce of energy we have.
As a mom of six raising our family on an old farmstead in Minnesota — with a husband who works long shifts in law enforcement and fire service — I know how heavy motherhood can feel sometimes.
And I also know how powerful it is when women share wisdom with one another.
So little by little, in the margins of my days, The Motherhood Menagerie began to take shape.
A place for stories.
Encouragement.
Practical wisdom.
Faith-filled reminders.
And voices from women walking this same road.
Joining The Motherhood Menagerie simply means becoming part of the conversation.
Some women join by sharing their stories.
Others contribute encouragement, lessons learned, or practical wisdom.
Your voice matters because someone else is walking through a season you’ve already experienced.
Ways women may contribute include:
• Guest blog posts
• Personal stories from motherhood
• Faith reflections
• Encouragement for specific seasons (postpartum, toddlers, teens, etc.)
• Practical rhythms that help bring peace into a home
