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”.

Search and Earn

Why Swagbucks? Well, using points I earned on Swagbucks last year, I earned a bunch of FREE gift cards to places like Amazon.com and Restaurants.com, which in turn paid for most Christmas gifts, Birthday gifts, date nights, and nearly paid for an Amazon Kindle Fire. Signing up with Swagbucks using this referral link allows me to earn more points while you also earn points. For easier searching, I recommend grabbing the Swagbucks Toolbar for your web browser.
