MomLife Today - Christian community for moms

Author: Darcy Kimmel

Hi – I’m Darcy Kimmel. I am a Mom who has raised two girls and two boys and in the process, I’ve been there and done just about anything you can think of. The good news is that everyone survived and, if it can be helpful to others, I love sharing from my experiences. I am also the Vice President of Family Matters where, according to my granddaughter Riley, I “let Papa think he’s the boss!” I love bargain shopping, cooking and baking, entertaining in my home and loving on my kids and grandkids! My ideal day includes chocolate, a beach, a breeze and a Maeve Binchy novel.
