Christy Witte is a wife, mother of eight, and proud grandmother of two. Her beautifully blended family—knit together through birth, adoption, and marriage—is a daily reminder that love is bigger than biology and stronger than circumstance.

Christy’s most important relationship is with Jesus, whose grace anchors her life and gives meaning to the chaos, joy, and ordinary of motherhood. Her husband, who is also her best friend, walks beside her as a partner in parenting, faith, and the endless search for quiet time.

With a heart full of stories, laughter, and hard-won wisdom (much of it borrowed from those wiser than she is), Christy seeks to offer encouragement to anyone navigating the messy, marvelous adventure of family life. Whether she’s sharing a moment of humor, a word of truth, or a gentle reminder that you’re not alone, Christy’s hope is to reflect light and joy in every season.

The Smell of Home

2025

Home is where the smells are. Let’s discuss our most memorable smells and how we can draw others in through their noses. I’ll share some of our most basic recipes and how we create kid-friendly kitchen experiences.

Summer on a Budget

TBD

Have a house full of kids during the summer? Let’s talk about filling the days with memories and fun without breaking and bank (and going crazy). We don’t have to take big trips to make big memories.

Go Bills!

TBD

Yup. I love the Buffalo Bills. Not everyone is into sports, but I will share some ways to make memories with family and friends over sports, even if they’re not your thing. I might even sneak in a few sports facts.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will this site be done?

I dunno. Keep checking back.

How do you stay sane with such a big family?

My faith – knowing that God is working even when I mess up (which is daily). My husband – I couldn’t ask for a better partner. Humor – I find I struggle the most when I take myself too seriously.

What are the challenges of fostering and adopting and/or being a stepparent?

Maybe I will blog about that some day, but if you are looking for some guidance, send me a message. I would love to help.
