About

My nine year old daughter and I had lots of laughs during this impromptu photo shoot. She had a challenging subject.
My name is Jenny Gwinn McGlothern and I have created this site for moms, any parent, to get a free refill. Let’s be honest, I created it for the same reason I am writing a book with the same name…to find a bit of sanity in this crazy thing called parenthood.
I believe we need to put ourselves first and most of us don’t do that, do we? This blog reports on my Mom Retreats and hopes to offer a weekly cup of wisdom. All parents, all people, need to be re-filled spiritually, mentally, and physically because we drain our cups with looking out for others. We forget about what matters.
I am a Cabrini Minister, Wedding Officiant, mother of two, Aquarius, lover of peanut butter and experienced facilitator who is passionate about moms taking care of themselves….before they run on empty and jump off the deep end.

Writing feeds my soul like nothing else. Reading and writing about matters of the heart is my retail therapy. Visit my blog that started it all… www.heartwriter.wordpress.com.


It occurs to me, Jen, that motherhood is, of course, all ages. I’m wondering if you might be interested in my story about my mother and I – a relationship filled with ups and downs to finally reach the real feeling of love. You are someone that I think would find it interesting and see the wonder in the experience at 68 and 89 years of age! My role as a mother is still a work in progress for my own children, ages 46, 47 and almost 50. I pray for a miracle with those relationships.
