Welcome

Hi, I’m Devon

First, I want to welcome you to Midwestern Moms! I am so glad you stopped by.

I am a mother to 2 boys, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. Yes, that is a full house, but living on a small farm helps.

On our little farm, we have a flock of chickens and a number of beehives. I absolutely love going outside each day and collecting eggs from our girls.

Where this all began

Midwestern Moms was started by Amanda, a dear friend. She started the Midwestern Moms journey when she gave birth to her daughter. It was her dream to stay home and raise her little girl. I joined Amanda around 2011 and helped her grow the blog. Like her, wanted to stay home and raise my boys. After a few years, Amanda chose to pursue other dreams, leaving me running Midwestern Moms.

Once the boys reached school age, I did have to take on extra work as well. However, I still try and post to the blog, just not as regularly as in the past.

I do appreciate each and every reader, and that is why I keep the blog going. I love it when my readers take the time to reach out and suggest ideas, ask questions about a recipe or crochet project, or to tell me a simple “Thank you”.
