Hello world!

Hi! My name is Cheri and I am a mom to a teenager and a preteen. I am married and have two dogs and three cats. Most days I feel that I am just a mom and nothing more. I have been a stay at home mom for 16 years and although there have been many joys to staying home with my children, there has also been downfalls as well. As my children have gotten older, I realize that I have lost my identity and put all my value and worth in being a mom. I have realized this even more by having a teenager who believes they no longer need you. Raising a teenager has been a struggle for me and emphasized my loss of identity. I decided I wanted o create a blog not only to help myself but also to share my struggles and experiences so that I may help others that may feel the same way.

I am a Christian and love Jesus with all my heart and am raising my daughters to live their life for Jesus. I plan to discuss my struggles of raising a teen in a broken world while sharing my spirals of deep depression and anxiety. I want to give you hope as I find hope myself in my Lord and Savior. My journey has not been easy and I have a ways to go but hopefully we can survive this journey together. Please join me on this journey as I rediscover myself and try to survive the teenage years.
