Adrian’s Crazy Life is just that, bits and piece of my crazy life – my job, my 3 fabulous boys, my papercrafting business, my 4 grandkids, the whole enchilada.  I’m always going 90 miles an hour with my hair on fire, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I love to give advice of all kinds, so I have lots and lots of posts on my site about decluttering, managing your finances, parenting, and whatever else I feel like an expert on that day.  C’mon over and visit me at AdriansCrazyLife.com.

Bess Blanco always considered herself a good mother of her four children, now ages 13 to 3, until her oldest disappeared one day shortly after is 12th birthday, and an alien from another planet replaced him!  As her oldest daughter is now ten-going-on-twenty, and discovering that here in the U.S., armpit hair has to be shaved, Bess is discovering that although life might be harder with tweens and teens, it is definitely more fun!  Join her as she documents this wild ride and lives to write about it!  You can find Bess at her website, The Intentional Lifestyle, Facebook and Twitter.

Lisa Fausey is the mother of four children and has four grandchildren.  Currently at home is a twelve year old daughter and the other children are two daughters 30 & 26 and a son 24.  Lisa’s practical parenting approach is guided by Biblical principles, past experience, and adaptability.  Lisa is a professional marketing consultant and actually works with her eldest daughter. Being an older parent to a tween and having already raised three children, Lisa has a family dynamic that lends itself to a variety of life situations which makes for the ability to advise other parents in a wide array of situations and challenges.

Melissa Smallwood is the founder of In Be’tween Moms and holds a B.A in Psychology and worked as a social worker turned professional organizer before devoting her time to writing and full-time ministry.  Melissa has a passion for helping women cut through the clutter in their life, the physical, emotional and spiritual clutter that can keep them from God’s best for their lives.  She shares this passion through the written word on her blog, Multitasking Mama, and other venues. Becoming pregnant at 16 changed the course of Melissa’s life and set the stage for her role in ministry to teen mom’s.  She is a full-time volunteer for YoungLives, Eastern Panhandle Division as well as their Committee Chair.  She leads a monthly Bible study and mentoring group for the teen mom’s in the local junior leader program.  Melissa shares her story, for God’s glory, with various women’s groups and congregations.  Telling others of the transforming power of Jesus Christ brings her special joy.  Her most important ministry and calling is that of wife, mother and daughter of the King.  Melissa and her husband, Mike, raise their four children {two by birth and two by adoption} in wild and wonderful West Virginia. The challenges of raising teens/tweens today has become a burden on her heart and in response, Melissa has created a new site for “inbetween” moms- those moms parenting between double digits and the empty nest.  You can also find Melissa on Twitter and Facebook.

My name is September McCarthy, and I have been married for 22 years, the mom to 10 children, some older, some younger and some “In-be-tween!”  I find each new day a learning experience and journey in raising my children.  Motherhood has taught me much, and I practice looking for the gifts in each new day, because we all know that Motherhood takes work.  Raising my children for the Lord is my passion, the task that the Lord has set before me, and I pray each day for strength, and to be real as a mom.  I have found that the teen/tween years is the time for being open, honest, and first and foremost – Real and Relevant. You can find September at her blog, One September Day and Twitter.

I’m Lynnette Kraft… a (happy and busy) wife, mom, author, blogger and hobby photographer. I’ve been homeschooling for 17 years and have children of all ages in all stages of life. My husband and I have gone through joyful times and we’ve suffered tremendous heartache together. We’ve had nine children and have been called to surrender three back to Jesus. My heart’s desire is to touch and inspire the lives of those God puts in my path. He’s shown me that each and every trial in my life has been for a beautiful and valuable purpose.
