15 Years of Mothering {and why it’s harder than I ever thought!}

Posted on February 17, 2015November 5, 2015by Teri Lynne Underwood

Fifteen years ago our daughter was born. I had all kinds of hopes and dreams about what life with a girl was going to be. I envisioned tea parties and dance classes. I looked forward to pedicures and movie dates. I anticipated shopping trips and girls only getaway weekends. I was sure I’d be the […]

Dear Weary Mom, God is Faithful!

Posted on September 26, 2013March 21, 2014by Teri Lynne Underwood

Dear Weary Mom, Do you ever feel like a total failure as a mom? I suppose if we’re honest, we have all felt that way at some point.  We spend more time than we ought contemplating every mistake, bleep, and blunder.  We lie awake at night regretting the words spoken in anger.  And, maybe, you’ve […]

Be Present … Don’t Wish Today Away!

Posted on August 27, 2013March 21, 2014by Teri Lynne Underwood

I used to think I had this mothering thing figured out.  Now, most days I vacillate between trusting grace for the mistakes I’ve made and fighting fear for the mistakes I will make next. It’s easy for me to get caught up in regret over what has already happened or to fill my head and […]

On Weaknesses and Parenting

Posted on July 30, 2013March 21, 2014by Teri Lynne Underwood

I’ve been writing a lot more about parenting lately. Not because I have all the answers … quite the opposite in fact.  It seems I basically coasted through the first 12 years of being a mom.  My girl was never really sick, potty trained easily, wasn’t clingy, ate well, had lots of friends, and in […]

Dear Weary Mom, The Hardest Lesson

Posted on July 18, 2013March 21, 2014by Teri Lynne Underwood

It’s Thursday.  I love Thursdays.  Thursdays around here are for dishing up truth and hope and grace about mothering.  And I’m so glad you are here to join me.  So let’s get going . . . This mothering gig is so much harder than I ever thought it would be.  And I’m so much worse […]

Mothering Is Just Hard

Posted on July 17, 2013April 21, 2016by Teri Lynne Underwood

Before you read any further, know this: I love my people.  Desperately.  And I know they love me. But this business of family, it’s tough. Placing others ahead of myself doesn’t come naturally and I battle against it every step of the way.  Yesterday, I said the words that will require turning in my Pinterest-perfect mom […]

Love these Bible Study Resources!

The Daily Grace Co. is one of my favorite places for Bible study resources. Gospel-driven studies, beautiful journals, and more.
This is hard. And none of us was really prepared for how hard it would be. Here's what I'm finding, even when I don't FEEL hope, I can KNOW hope. Because hope isn't a feeling, hope is a Person. If you're struggling, lean into Jesus.
Why is giving ourselves space in between Bible studies valuable? Two reasons not to jump from study to study.

Not sure what or how to pray? I wrote this book for all of us who want to pray with confidence and power.

Praying for Girls: Asking God for the Things They Need Most (Bethany House, 2017) by Teri Lynne Underwood contains 200 Bible-based prayers as well as suggested activities and conversation starters, Praying for Girls is a must-have tool in every mom’s arsenal.
