About Family5Power… Tales from a Mid-Life Mama
About
- Mid-Life Mama to three.
- Married three decades.
- Follower of the One and Only.
- A thinker and deep conversationalist, I’m pitifully unsuited for much small talk. Silly and strangely funny, but these qualities are mostly observed by my nest-people ;-).
- Like you, mid-life has me observing through a new lens (stronger contacts and glasses-haha) – pondering the absurd along with the serious.

About this blog then…
Past history includes 350+ articles, photography and other fun posts over the years. Being Mom to three teenagers during high school and college. “Mama Duck” was my nickname in the family and how it landed on this blog. Note: during the “blocks migration” that WordPress conducted while I was offline, older posts you may peruse have distorted images or content. I’m still working on updating/correcting all of them!
About this blog now…
Connecting as mid-lifers. From podcasts to pastors, speakers claim, “you’re not alone!”. Yet, many of us still feel alone wondering, “is anyone else thinking what I’m thinking?” This is one more way to connect just as we are, right where we are in life.
