About Us WiseMommies

Beth

When I was called to be fruitful and multiply I didn’t realize the intention was for it to be in a deluge of boys. Our first son was named out of my German/Bavarian husband’s family repertoire; I thought I would have some time to gradually “pace” the next child(ren). Then along came two more boys… at the same time– My husband was feeling quite proud of himself. Love, after love, after love. I have been fortunate to marry my best friend, having an amazing, unique marriage, full of support and day-to-day compromises that define a mature love and suddenly-bloomed motherhood.

“I found the one my heart loves.” Song of Solomon 3:4

Although forever a Texan, I have enjoyed traveling extensively & have lived abroad, maintaining relationships with friends, now moms, in numerous spots around the globe; I believe that has blessed me with a broadened view of parenting and how one local outlook may not provide as much fullness of perspective. I have been continually edified by taking that larger, diverse view and hope that it is also helpful to readers when I insert those elements.

What is a wisemommy; who am I to say I’m wise? I’m wise enough to be humble in regards to the unguided and challenging human condition called motherhood, learn from my successes as much as I learn from my mistakes, and share them with other moms so that we can help each other.

Hi, I’m Eryn. Beth and I became friends a lifetime ago on a tour of the Scottish Highlands, long before husbands and children came along and changed the way we travel. I’m a 38 year old Canadian mother of two boys living in London, England. I was a primary school teacher but became a stay at home mom when my eldest son, CC was born.

Anna – At the young age of 7, my family moved from Poland to Germany. I had many struggles as a foreigner in a new country such as not knowing the language and assimilating to the new culture overall. My experiences have left my heart full of empathy and understanding for adults, and especially children, growing up in a foreign country, adapting a new culture, and learning several languages simultaneously. It wasn’t always easy growing up bilingual, but I’m extremely grateful to my parents for being consistent with teaching me my native language while learning German, and even English, in the schools. After marrying my German husband, love of my life, he took a job which transported us from our home in Germany to Texas and currently back in Germany.

Nicole – I grew up in Central Texas, raised by my mom and supported by my dad as much as he could from across the world. I attended college, lived in a variety of places and then returned to Texas where I met my husband. I married my husband in 2004 after the most amazing engagement complete with a surprise party of 40 friends and family. We had two weddings, in two countries, that included all our family and friends in the festivities.
We wanted children from the beginning and our first ‘children’ were Sasha and Treva, West Highland White Terriers. After some hard times (including multiple miscarriages) we decided to foster/adopt. We fostered two brothers, ages 4 & 5, for six months and prepared them for their forever family. A month later, with one very surprising phone call, we found out we were going to become a forever family to a newborn and brought him home from the hospital.
One more miscarriage and then a surprising twist of a “high risk” pregnancy turned completely normal and we now have a daughter who adores her big brother.  Most of all we try to support other parents in the journey of parenthood because it is a crazy, hard time.
