Hi, I'm Johanna! I'm a proud mom of three boys, a military spouse of over 30 years, and a retired school teacher with a passion for helping others through life's ups and downs. After decades of supporting my family through deployments, duty stations, teaching and the everyday joys and challenges of parenting, I now share my experiences to encourage and connect with other moms. Whether it's navigating motherhood, military life, or finding purpose in a new season, I believe our stories matter - and I'm here to tell mine and listen to yours.

4 The Love Of Mom Story
Wow! Where do I even start? This all seemed to happen overnight, though in reality, I had been pondering for some time about sharing my story and experiences. I just wasn't sure how or with whom to begin. Then, the idea for this blog struck me, and I thought, “Why not?”
With my background in content creation and curriculum design from my teaching career, I sat down at my computer and let the ideas flow. The more I explored, the more exciting it became!
Welcome to 4 The Love of Mom, where the "4" represents my four children, "The Love of Mom" signifies the immense love I have for all of them.
Life as a mother—especially as a mom over 50 and now a mother-in-law—has had its ups and downs, filled with moments and challenges but it’s a beautiful journey that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Through 4 The Love of Mom, I aim to share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with you. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you're not alone in your feelings and that many of the challenges we face as parents are quite normal. I hope you enjoy this space as much as I have enjoyed creating it! Please connect with me through the email subscription below; I can't wait to hear from!
