Every couple year as life changes, we have to change the blog so today I wanted to share an updated 🌸 ABOUT US Page: FAITH, FAMILY & THE UNBREAKABLE CIRCLE BEHIND THEMOMMIESREVIEWS.COM I hope you enjoyed getting to know us a little bit better. If you have any questions leave me a comment and I will answer them as soon as possible
🌼 A New Chapter Rooted in Faith
When I first created TheMommiesReviews.com, I never imagined how deeply this space would grow into the heart of my family’s story. What began as a simple blog for reviews and everyday life has become a reflection of everything the LORD has carried me through — joy, heartbreak, healing, and grace.
“Without the LORD, I wouldn’t be who I am today — and neither would Charlie or David.”
This rebrand isn’t about becoming something new. It’s about becoming more fully who we’ve always been.
🌼 Where Our Story Begins
I started this blog because I wanted a place where moms could feel seen, supported, and encouraged. A place where real life — not the polished version — could be shared openly.
- The messy days
- The beautiful days
- The days that made me laugh
- The days that brought me to my knees
From the beginning, my faith was woven into every post. Not because I set out to be a “faith blogger,” but because my faith is part of my identity.
đź“Ś CALLOUT BOX: My Truth
Faith isn’t a topic on this blog — it’s the foundation of my life.
🌼 Charlie’s Journey: A Testament to Faith
If you’ve been with us for a while, you’ve watched Charlie grow up right here. From a little boy to a young man with a strong moral compass, a gentle heart, and a deep faith.
He prayed for a Christian partner — someone who shared his values and dreams — and the LORD answered that prayer. Watching him step into adulthood with integrity and purpose has been one of my greatest blessings.
“His story is part of this blog’s story — because this blog has always been about family.”
🌼 Suzanne: The Butterfly in Our Logo
There is no way to tell our story without honoring Suzanne.
Her memory is woven into everything I do. Her love is part of every post. Her presence is felt in every design choice.
The butterfly in our logo isn’t just a symbol — it’s her.
- The last song we danced to
- The reminder that love never leaves
- The sign that she is still part of our circle
đź“Ś CALLOUT BOX: Why the Butterfly Matters
The butterfly is Suzanne’s symbol — a reminder of love, memory, and transformation.
🌼 The Circle: Our Unbreakable Symbol
When I chose the circle for our new logo, it wasn’t just for aesthetics. It represents everything I believe about family:
- No beginning
- No end
- Unbroken
- Whole
- Connected
“A circle is unbreakable — and that’s what I want my family to be.” This circle represents our faith, our unity, our gratitude, and our story.
🌼 The Meaning Behind Our Branding– Every element of our rebrand carries meaning:
🦋 The Butterfly
Suzanne’s presence. Hope. Transformation.
🌸 The Flower– Warmth. Nurturing. Our pastel, cozy identity.
🔵 The Circle– Unity. Family. Faith.
✨ “Grateful, Thankful & Blessed “Our truth. Our testimony. Our daily reminder.
🌼 What You’ll Find Here
This blog has grown, but its heart hasn’t changed. You’ll still find:
- Family stories
- Recipes
- Homeschool ideas
- Reviews
- Encouragement
- Music that moves the soul
- Real-life moments — the messy, the beautiful, and everything in between
But now, you’ll also find something deeper:
A renewed sense of purpose. A clearer identity. A stronger foundation.
🌼 Faith at the Center
I don’t hide my faith. I don’t water it down. I don’t apologize for it.
Because without the LORD, I wouldn’t have survived the storms I’ve walked through. I wouldn’t have had the strength to raise Charlie. I wouldn’t have had the courage to keep going after losing Suzanne.
“My faith is not a topic — it’s my foundation.”
And if sharing that turns some people away, then they were never meant to be part of this circle.
🌼 Why This Rebrand Matters
This rebrand is a declaration:
- Our family is growing
- Our story is evolving
- Our faith is deepening
- Our gratitude is overflowing
- Our blessings are worth celebrating
It’s a reminder that even after loss, there is beauty. Even after heartbreak, there is hope. Even after change, there is purpose.
🌼 Thank You for Being Here
Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you’re just joining our circle, I want you to know:
You matter here. Your story matters here. Your heart matters here.
This blog is not just mine. It’s ours.
A place where faith meets family. A place where gratitude grows. A place where blessings are counted. A place where love continues — even beyond this life.
We are not perfect. We are not polished. We are grateful, thankful, and blessed — and we’re so glad you’re here.
I hope you enjoyed my story and if there is anything I can answer for you, please let me know. There is much more to my family and this blog that just Charlie and I there is David and our fur babies Pheobie and Bear. As we grow, I can use all the feedback I can get so please share your comments below and let’s grow together.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
