My friend, Rachel Martin, is the writer behind FindingJoy.net. She is a mom. A single mom. Of 7. She is also one of two partners in Blogging Concentrated and BCStack with Dan Morris. My hat is off to her as I could barely keep up with 2 kiddos and a job – even with a spouse.
Rachel wrote a fantastic book last year called the Brave Art of Motherhood. She tells powerful stories that give moms permission to be moms. To rise above the sticky (literally) situations of a houseful of children and the commotion that ensues as life unfolds. What a gift, right?
Rachel recently asked 75 real life moms from many walks of life to share some tips they wish they knew at 20. You want to read them, I promise. Here’s how to get there to read the article.
Hi, thanks for sharing on the #LMMLinkup this past week. Following your link to read the tips.
I can’t imagine having seven children to raise alone. Go, Rachel. Thank you for sharing with us. Maree

Wow, I’m familiar with BCStack (and even bought the stack a couple times) but wasn’t aware of Rachel’s blog. I’m heading over there right now to check it out. Thanks, Susan!
The book was good, and easy to read. I only wish she had tied in the spiritual component of how she got through these hard times. That would have made it even better!
Wow! Kudos to Rachel. She sounds like an amazing woman who makes things happen. Thanks for sharing!
