If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be a bonus mom and a published author, I might’ve smiled politely and whispered a prayer for patience. But here I am standing in the beautiful chaos of blended family life, holding the finished manuscript of my debut book, The Battle of a Bonus Mom: Surviving Step-Parenting with Grace and Glory.
Let me tell you—it wasn’t easy. But it was worth every tear, prayer, and late-night writing session.
The Balancing Act
Being a bonus mom is a calling. It’s not just about stepping in; it’s about stepping up with love, humility, and a whole lot of grace. Between school pickups, chore charts, and navigating the delicate dynamics of step-parenting, I found myself constantly asking, “Lord, am I doing this right?” And in those quiet moments, He reminded me: You’re not just surviving, you’re sowing.
Writing Through the Storm
This book was born in the trenches. I wrote between soccer games and Sunday dinners, often with a laptop in one hand and a laundry basket in the other. “The Battle of a Bonus Mom” isn’t just a title, it’s a testimony. It’s for every woman who’s ever felt unseen in her role, who’s wrestled with guilt, grace, and the glory of being chosen for this unique journey. I poured my heart into these pages, not to preach perfection, but to share truth. Raw, faith-filled, and real.
What’s Next?
Now that the book is out, I’m excited to connect with other bonus moms, faith-based families, and anyone navigating the beautiful mess of blended life. I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes stories, hosting discussions, and offering resources to help you walk this path with confidence and community.

Final Thoughts
To every bonus mom reading this: You are not alone. You are not a backup plan. You are a blessing. And your battle is building something eternal. Thank you for walking this journey with me. Let’s keep surviving and thriving with grace and glory.
