Hi There!!

Welcome to my front porch….it is so fun to meet you!!

My name is Laura and I am the creator of On My Front Porch. This is a place for overwhelmed moms to find joy, peace and refreshment. I am so glad you have stopped by.

I get the overwhelmed feeling. I am a wife, working mama of three, teacher, daughter, writer, and coffee lover. Everyday I work to find a balance between what “needs to be done” and what “can wait”.

I have learned over the years that every busy mom needs a place to find some quiet. A place to find joy and peace from the busyness of caring for our people. A place to be refreshed.

This is why ON MY FRONT PORCH was created. Whether a virtual retreat, an actual porch (where I often escape) or a small corner of our closet…and yes this has been my place…we find refreshment in our overwhelmed by taking time to pause and lean in to the whispers of grace and beauty of a quieted soul that is rested.

The rhythmic cycle of our days can lead to sadness and loneliness when we are not finding joy and connection. This can negatively impact our relationships and our mental and physical health.

I want to encourage you to spend some time on this site.

To read about God, the only source of our full joy and peace.

To find refreshment in knowing you are loved and do not walk alone.

To enjoy resources to help you as you navigate the everyday life of being a mama, wife, _________ (fill in your own description 🙂

Dear Sister, we need connection, we need encouragement to keep on the road ahead with joy, and we need each other!

I would love to connect with you each month! Please consider signing up for my monthly newsletter.

The Magnolia Musings on The Porch is an encouraging email sent to your inbox each month that contains a little bit of faith, tips and helpful hints for family life, and something to make your home cozy and beautiful. In addition there will be free bonuses to subscribers throughout the year.

As a thank you I will send you 10 Encouraging Verses for the Overwhelmed Mom. You can subscribe down below.

I am so thankful for you!! Keep pressing on and I will meet you at your inbox soon!

Love,
