July Mom of the Month

This is always so hard to choose. I know so many amazing moms. But I have to say, for July I am picking Abby Kennedy. She is the mother of three awesome boys--one entering preschool (Josiah), one entering 6th grade (Jesse)and one entering 8th grade (Zach).

Abby supports and encourages her boys in America's favorite past time--Zach was recently named Athlete of the Week, while training them up to be awesome men of God. Jesse and Zach are two of the best worshippers in youth group, stepping up and stepping out in their faith.

Abby is creative and generous. I have watched her use her time and talents repeatedly for the needs of the Church, without ever hearing a complaint. She is an inspiration of loving selflessly.

May's Mom of the Month

Amy Hiser is my May Mom of the Month. She is incredible. And inspiring. Not only will she be beginning to homeschool her oldest, John, but she will be doing so while taking care of her daughter who is about pre-school age and her twin boys. Her twin boys that will be mobile by the time the new school year starts.

I love watching Amy at church with all of her children. Twins in the stroller, John and Gracie following behind her like little duckies. So sweet. Amy also oversees the nursery at church. So not only is she taking care of her babies, but she also makes sure all of our babies are well cared for. And she does this with twins (sorry, but the thought of having to do double-duty of everything myself is overwhelming-I just love watching her! If I ever do happen to have twins I will be hiring here for 9 months of training). Amy organizes and executes successful garage sales, has just had the experience of being a T-ball mom, and is always great about finding mind stimulating activities for her children.

Amy is a wonderful mother, her children will surely rise up and call her blessed!

**oh, the only pictures I have of Amy are on the computer that I can not access anything from, so if you have a great picture of Amy, please feel free to e-mail it to me so I can add it to this post!

April's Mom of the Month

My dear friend Mandi is amazing. She is the proud mommy of Zeke (11 months) and Jeremiah (due late August / early September). Zeke has recently began to crawl, which I am sure is keeping Mandi on her toes!

Mandi is the pastor of Kids For Life, CFL's children's ministry. She is a gracious hostess who continually opens her home to others. Mandi also finds ways to continuously serve others. Just this past Monday, I had the privilege of babysitting Zeke so that Mandi could shampoo the carpets at CFL (did I mention she is pregnant??? I probably wouldn't think to shampoo the carpets myself period. I would pick up the phone and hire someone in an instant!).

This is why Mandi is my personal pick for April's Mom of the Month!
