🌸 ABOUT US: FAITH, FAMILY & THE UNBREAKABLE CIRCLE BEHIND THEMOMMIESREVIEWS.COM

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.

📌 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

📌 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.

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
