Hi Beautiful Mum! 🙂 Hey Beautiful Mom!
Yes, you!
I’m so glad to have you visit.
Do you love your kids…but sometimes struggle as a mum?
Do you want more of Jesus…but sometimes find it hard to meet him in the midst of motherhood?
Are you in need of some encouragement?
Me too!
Welcome! You’re in the right place.
My name’s Joanna. I have a wonderful husband, and four lovely kids (ages 21, 20, 17 and 15).
It’s my heart and passion to encourage and equip mums (and moms).
It’s my heart to meet with God in the midst of being a mum and wife, and help you do the same.
It’s my heart to see YOU set free into all that God has for you, as a woman, as a mum, and as a precious daughter of God.
On Mums.Kids.Jesus
I share my struggles:
Like the time I got so angry I threw a potato at my husband, the time I broke down (emotionally) in a car park, and the many times I’ve come to an end of myself caring for my children.
I share God’s goodness:
How God kept me through my most spiritually dry time, what I’ve learned about God whispering ‘Goodnight’ to me, and the amazing truth about Nothing!
I share practical and spiritual helps I’ve learned, and am learning, along the way:
Fun and simple activities I’ve enjoyed with my kids (especially when we lived in Bosnia post-war and had to devise our own amusements), the 110 books my boys most enjoy, and lots and lots of ways to stay close to God as a mum.
I share free resources to help and encourage you:

Maybe you’d like to know a little more about me?
Well, here’s a kind of random list!
1. I’ve homeschooled all my kids at one time or another.
2. I love Malaysian food. (My husband’s from Malaysia. I love him too!)
3. I’m from England, but have lived in nine different countries, and visited many others.
4. Previously I taught English as a foreign language, and was a librarian.
5. Our two female rabbits had babies! Lots of them.
6. I’ve taught Sunday school for as long as I’ve had kids. (Actually, now’s the first time I’m having a break.)
7. I climbed Mt Kinabalu (highest mountain in S.E. Asia) two times, many years ago!
8. I ran long distance for my school and came first; I ran for the county and came last!
9. I overflow with ideas, often in the early hours of the morning.
10. I am taller than my husband.
11. Five years ago I knew nothing about blogging or creating a website. I’ve learned a lot.
12. I like ‘to do’ lists, and add to them retrospectively so that I can cross items off!
13. Mums.Kids.Jesus began life in 2003 as an email attachment sent out to friends. This site launched in June 2015. You can read my launch welcome post here.
14. My first book, Forever Loved: Eve’s Story, became an Amazon UK bestseller in its first week of publication. Still can’t believe it!! I’m now working on my next book.
15. You can see my first ever attempts at videoing myself in my new online Knowing God video series.
16. God is my Father. Jesus is my saviour. The Holy Spirit is my friend. Loving Father, precious saviour, best friend, kind of all wrapped up in one!
17. I’ve just published a new site JoannaMayChee.com, where I share my books, courses. and heart for God. I pray it’s a place God speaks to you, and stirs your heart for others.
I’d love to know a little about you too!

Hey beautiful Mum! Hi lovely Mom!
I'd love to keep in touch and send you new posts and free resources from Mums.Kids.Jesus.
Just a question- the qustodio family portal thingy- if it has to be directly downloaded on the child device I don’t understand what will stop them from simply deleting/ uninstalling it? Any ideas?
They have to enter a password to uninstall/delete it – and that will be a password you set up, so they won’t know it!
Such a great blog! I’ve only got one little one so far, so really looking forward to learning lots from a Mummy veteran
Thanks Ese. Looking forward to learning and growing together with you 🙂
I was perusing Brilliant Business Moms website trying to find some information to solve some struggles I’ve been having with my blog launch and came across yours and what a blessing it is! I just subscribed. I love the stories and miracles! I am looking forward to hanging out a little longer on this site. Cheers!
Hey Naomi..thanks so much for the encouragement and for subscribing! All the best as you launch your blog. I wish you much success 🙂 And yes, Brilliant Business Moms is a great place to hang out…I’ve learnt so much from them. Blessings, Joanna
You are truly an amazing woman Joanna and what a blessing your whole website is.
Many many mums will continue to be truly helped and blessed with all that you provide for them.
I do hope you had a good holiday.
Love & prayers,
Anne
Anne, thank you for your lovely and generous words. I feel encouraged! We had a wonderful holiday…beach, sun and great food! Miriam even found a real live chameleon on the mountainside which let us pick it up and stroke it xx
