say hello!

Hi Y’all, I’m Shalene!

Hi, friends! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Shalene Roberts, a writer, author, photographer and small-business owner. As a mom to five, I’ve been writing about the intersection of faith and motherhood for more than a decade. Through his merciful grace and sovereign goodness, the Lord has revealed to me that there is incredible meaning and eternal significance in the role of motherhood, and it is my hope that I can impart a bit of that life-changing truth to you in this space.

So pour a cuppa and grab a seat. There’s incredible encouragement waiting for you right here.

How can I help you?

“When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” released “When Mothering is Hard and No One Sees” released into the world today. In the quiet of an average Tuesday. In the midst of dentist appointments and homework and Spring rains that fell onto the pavement and pooled before running off in rivulets. 

All these words that I’ve poured onto pages, this message I’ve lived for the past 18 years, the expression of abundant grace poured out to me that I now pour out to you slowly started to show up in mailboxes and on front porches across the nation. 

I saw some of your pics. Smiling faces with my cover in your hands. A real tangible book clasped between your fingers! Words can’t express what a privilege it is to see those pictures and to know that you will be cracking the spine, unpacking all I’ve packed into those pages. It’s an honor.

It’s also immensely humbling. I do not take this opportunity lightly. Your time is valuable. Your resources are limited. Your heart is precious. And the fact that you’ve chosen to give me just a bit of that, to sit with my words when you could choose to do something else is an immense gift. 

To all who’ve purchased the book, I hope you find hope and encouragement. I hope you feel seen and understood. I hope you walk away with a purposed vision of motherhood that is more beautiful than anything you could have ever imagined. But more than anything, I hope you come face to face with Jesus and find yourself undone at the depths of love He has for you. If you do that, then I’ve done my job well. 

If you haven’t purchased your copy yet (it makes a wonderful gift for all the moms in your life), the book is available wherever books are sold, including Amazon: https://a.co/d/03RnNGvn

Happy launch day, friends! It’s been an honor to share it with you!

I am convinced one of a mom’s greatest joys is the I am convinced one of a mom’s greatest joys is the chance to watch her children press into and express their giftings. Our middle daughter has always been our artist, and recently she has begun pencil sketching. Her creations are so beautiful, I commissioned her to make some drawings for our playroom. If you love her work as well, leave a comment and let me know! Perhaps she’ll show up here a bit more. 🖌️

There’s a certain level of vulnerability when you There’s a certain level of vulnerability when you release a book into the world. You put so much into these pages. So many hours of writing. So many hours of editing. Long mornings. Longer nights. The whole of your heart bleeds onto the keyboard. 

And then you launch it into the public sphere. And you’re at their mercy. What if readers hate it? What if the critics are louder than the supporters? What if the message falls flat? What if the book doesn’t actually achieve anything for those who crack its spine? ��These are the fears that worm their way into my mind at times. And yet, I fully trust that the Lord who equipped me to write this message will also bring it to fullness within the public sphere. I trust that He will get this book into the hands of those who will be encouraged by its message. And I trust that perhaps someone will find their entire understanding of motherhood and its beautiful, eternal purpose  changed for the better. And if that happens … then all the vulnerability is worth it. If these words impact even a small group of women for the better, then this has all been worth it. 

One week. Just seven short days until this work releases. Into the world. Into the public. Into your hands! I pray it blesses you beyond belief. 

Pre-order now wherever books are sold!
