What to Expect at ChristianSuperMom.com This Summer

Hi friends,

First, an apology. I'm so so sorry I've been slacking off on providing any fresh new content around here. I've sort of had my hands full lately. You know - Birthday's. Mother's Day. Having a garage sale. A painful bout of strep throat. Planting my garden. Planning for a week of VBS where I'll be teaching the adorable preschoolers the Bible story each day.

And on and on and on...

Anyway, yesterday was the last day of school for my daughter so we are officially on summer break. Yay!! (I think.) Things were a bit challenging ...

When You Realize You Need to Refuel Your Inner SuperMom…

by Rosann Cunningham

Last night I had the pure joy of snuggling with my eight year old little girl as we read two more pages of our Mother/Daughter devotion.

The words on the page instructed us to pray about and then spend time meditating together on the 1 Corinthians 13:4 verse which says simply "Love is Patient." (Yep, I know it says a little more than that, but I'm only focusing on the three words mentioned, for this post.)

"Mom, what is meditation?" she asked, her big blue eyes searching me for an answer.

"Well, for me, meditation is sitting quietly, ...

40 Thoughts About Turning 40…From a Christian SuperMom

by Rosann Cunningham

This weekend I'm turning 40 {gasp!} and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Since I know I'm not the only Christian woman to ever be faced with the big 4-0, I thought I'd share my thoughts about turning 40 in hopes that you'll be encouraged by them, or at the very least enjoy a giggle or two from reading them.

Believe me...I'm preaching to myself here. If you can relate - awesome! If you have your own thoughts to add - please do! Just don't be offended by any of this. It's not meant to be a ...

A Letter to My Future Son-in-Law

by Rosann Cunningham

I know how crazy this sounds. My daughter is only 8 years old, yet here I am writing a letter to her future spouse.

See, the thing is, my husband and I have a nightly routine with our daughters where we pray for them out loud before tucking them into bed. I've recently felt very called to pray for whoever the young boy is out there, that will one day marry my daughter.

So I pray for things like- a good home life as he grows up, a family upbringing as an active believer, a good father who will teach ...

Celebrate Her Birthday With an Art Party

by Rosann Cunningham

My husband and I are trying to get to the point where our children aren't expecting some huge birthday party every year. After all, I never had birthday parties and neither did he. It shouldn't be a requirement should it? Planning a birthday party is not only time consuming but costly too. And when you give in and throw a party for one child, you inevitably become obligated to do the same for all other children.

So when the topic arose of how we'd help our daughter celebrate her 8th birthday, I immediately suggested that instead of having a party ...

Why I Don’t Want to Be a Paranoid Mom Anymore

by Rosann Cunningham

I'm not sure if I've shared this with you yet, but I'm a totally paranoid mom. I don't really want to be that way. I know I need to trust God with the details of my children's safety, but it's a real struggle for me.

I have childhood memories of running all over the hillside of Greenfield Acres, my Idaho small town rural neighborhood, wild and free. I would go play with the neighbor kids up the street or the other ones that lived three blocks away.

I would go inside their homes with them. I would ...

Which Book Cover Would You Choose?

by Rosann Cunningham

Hey awesome friends,

I'm working on another book project called Refuel Your Inner SuperMom: A Practical Guide to Getting Your Groove Back. Do you remember my 31 Days to SuperMom series last October? Well, this project is that series all compiled into one lovely eBook (Finally! I know some of you have been asking about it...) plus some extra content I'm adding along the way as I build the book.

My goal was to have the book available for purchase by Mother's Day (2013), and while I'm still trying to stick to that timeline, I know myself. I know I'll ...

What Motherhood Means to Me

by Rosann Cunningham

Motherhood is the most precious gift the Lord has blessed me with. Even when I'm feeling tired and weary, I know in my heart my precious children were hand picked by God to be a part of my world.

He orchestrated our family to be together, blessing each others lives with smiles, laughter, kindness, and compassion. And more! We aren't a perfect family though. We each have our faults and quirks that grate on one another's nerves.

My oldest daughter can screech so loud it actually hurts my ears. As with the sound of nails on a ...

50 Ways to Help Put a Smile on Your Child’s Face

by Rosann Cunningham

When I look at my children I'm instantly reminded of what a gift they are. I know my job is to parent them, not be friends with them, but honestly I don't see anything wrong with having fun with my kids.

I love to see them smile and if I can help put that smile on their face, all the better!

Life is short. We should make the time we have special for and with the people we love. Sometimes life gets busy though and it's hard to find creative ways to create giggles or memories.

Hopefully ...
