About Me

Kimberly Eddy and Joyful Momma Publishing

My name is Kimberly and I am the main author here at Adventures in Mothering. My goal is to encourage other moms in raising kids who love God and finding joy in the everyday. I have a burden, born out of hard times in my own life, to help other moms enjoy the journey of motherhood and overcome the burden of “mom guilt”. In addition to the posts on this blog, I’ve written articles for other publications, as well as several books and ebooks which you can find in my store.
