We are so excited to introduce our July 2019 Mom of the Month, Chelsea Smith! 

Chelsea was nominated by friend Rebecca Roses. Here’s what Rebecca had to say about her! 

Chelsea is such a selfless mom! She’s always pouring into others and into her family. She’s starting a non-profit here in the OKC metro to help pregnant young moms. Her heart is the biggest and most servants heart I’ve ever witnessed. Her ability to lift others up even when she is experiencing life’s trials is amazing. 

Let’s get to know Chelsea! 

How many children do you have and what are their ages? 

Emery (8), Sutton (5), and Sawyer (5)

What is your favorite thing about being a mom? 

my favorite thing about being a mom is seeing how unique and different each of my children are. I love that they all have unique qualities, interests, and talents that make them each special. I love to watch them learn and grow each day! 

Also, I love hearing my kids laugh! They find pure joy and happiness in simple, sweet things. I love when we can all be silly and laugh together.  

What has been the most challenging thing about being a mom? 

I think the most challenging thing for me is “mom guilt.” Am I making the right decisions, am I spending enough time with each one of them, did I discipline them correctly, am I showing them how to be kind, generous, Jesus loving people, and so on.   

What could you not survive without as a mom? 

I could not survive without my faith, and my family. My faith guides me every day, my friends provide amazing support and love, and my family is my rock! I truly believe it takes a village to raise kiddos! Also, I can’t live without caffeine. There is no way I could survive without it.       

What is your proudest mom moment? 

Gosh, I am so proud of my kids daily! I am most proud of my kids when they conquer things they are afraid to try, and excel at something they worked really hard for. I am also really proud of them when they show kindness and love towards others.   

 

Chelsea, we recognize you as one amazing mama! We hope you enjoy your gift card from True Sky Credit Union! Congrats on being our July Mom of the Month!

I enjoy baking, loving on my fur babies, Thunder games, traveling, and date nights with my husband! I am so excited to share the ups and downs, highs and lows, heartbreaks and victories of foster parenting with you all. While we don’t yet have any permanent kiddos of our own, we are so blessed to be able to provide a home for children that need one and to talk about that process here.
