Hello! Welcome to Making of a Mom! My name is Stefanie. I am a stay at home mom of three children. I have a seven year old daughter, three year old son and a newborn baby boy. I have been married for 10 years. We recently moved to Kansas City, Missouri and are getting adjusted. So far we love the area we are in and the people we have met!

Before I was a mother I was the baby of seven children. I was a major caboose born six years after what my parents thought was their last child. By the time I was in sixth grade everyone was moved out, and several siblings were already married with children, so I basically grew up an only child. It has been fun growing up and building friendships with my siblings that I didn’t live with as a child. It has been fun to see that as I have gotten married and had children we have become more on the same level instead of me being six plus years younger than them. I love my sisters so much!! And my brothers are ok too. 

The purpose of this blog is to help me connect with others. I hope to build a meaningful online community of strong, humble, intelligent and amazing women and together share our journey day by day. I know each one of you has something to contribute to this blog and my life. With this site I plan to share my struggles and plans for success! It will be therapeutic. I hope you will feel a personal connection to me as I try to become friends with you, the readers of this site. I want to help you and get your help in return! I want it to feel like a conversation that everyone is welcome to be a part of. I want your comments and feedback and welcome what you have to say (this is a family show, so let’s keep it clean!)

Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments or concerns at Makingofamom{at}gmail.com. Also if there comes a time when you would like to contribute an article please let me know. I would love reader participation. Please submit your article and any information I should know about it to my email address listed above. I will get back to you in a couple days on approval or changes.

So let’s get started on this adventure…
