The Heart Behind Blessed and Bonus

Hi, I’m Erica Cue—wife, mom of two, bonus mom of three, full-time professional, and most recently, author of The Battle of a Bonus Mom: Surviving Step-Parenting with Grace and Glory, coming September 2025. Life hasn’t always been picture-perfect, but every chapter has taught me something meaningful. Being a Bonus Mom is a journey full of love, faith, frustration, laughter, and learning. There have been moments of feeling misunderstood, unseen, and overwhelmed. But I’ve also discovered deep joy, healing, and the beauty of blending a family with intentional grace.

​

I created Blessed and Bonus because I know firsthand the emotional terrain Bonus Moms walk—sometimes silent, sometimes sacred, always significant. This space is where we peel back the curtain and get real, while holding each other up with encouragement and hope. Through every blog post, resource, and story shared, my prayer is that you feel empowered, reminded of your worth, and grounded in faith. You’re not alone here—this community is yours too.
