Why Roo?

Why the name Roo?

Roo – As in Kangaroo

There are two words synonymous with Kangaroo : strength and femininity. Strength, because a kangaroo is known as a boxer. She’s tough, ready to fight the battle and prepared at all times by her God given attributes. Femininity, because she carries her baby (joey) snuggled in her front pouch for up to 18 months. She goes to any length to love, nurture and protect her child. Roo Magazine is a reflection of the picture the kangaroo gives us.  A reflection of the woman who embraces and lives out her strength and her femininity with strong power and beautiful grace.

Who we are

We believe that traditional values are not necessarily old-fashioned values. We believe that modern women want traditional values.

Traditional values are one thing, but they aren’t our ultimate goal as parents. They are of great value, but unless they are backed by a strong conviction they are nothing but traditions and choice. Values are a means of growth, but the fruit we produce as a result of them depend on the beliefs that are backing those values.

  • We believe in radiant health, which includes a healthy diet and regular exercise.
  • We believe that women are enthralled with beauty and fashionand that shopping is the female equivalent to hunting down moose.
  • We believe that children grow when they are nourished with love, direction, and discipline and that compassionate discipline is firm at times.
  • We believe that embracing these roles brings ultimate empowerment to our femininity.
  • We believe that the mother of George Washington and wife of Martin Luther King have had more influence and impact on modern society that any corporate CEO.
  • We believe that wives were created to be helpers to their husbands, building them up to become strong leaders in their homes.

What we do

We believe that if united with the purpose to support encourage and trade secrets with each other, that together we can be one of the most powerful influences on the future of our world

Why it Matters to Us 

The extreme feminist mindset is a minority in our society, and although pop culture tends to portray it as the norm–real women believe differently.

Modern women in the trenches of motherhood can feel isolated at times, and want a watering hole where they can gather with like-minded women.  They need support that empowers them to optimally function. They seek to find fulfillment and purpose in who they are.

    I am so delighted to see the younger generation embracing the values of their Mother’s and Grandmother with new vision and new ideas to reach out and join the gap of all women. I love the unity and the sharing of ideas and wisdom of each women and how it is valued by all. Keep up the great work in helping us all to live a life that represents Christ so well to the Christian community as well as the secular community. Love the name Roo! and what it represents.

    Did you know that kangaroos also only move forward, they can’t go backwards! A little like mums, always moving forwards for their children, and loved ones! Love the title.

    Love this, I so agree, Desiring to be a woman of strength with Gods help and a help mate to our husband this day in age is so important.

    Thank you…I have been feeling so isolated lately. I have friends, but I am homeschooling my children and so am sort of on the lunatic fringe… ;) I am so glad there are sites like this to go to and be encouraged! I like that the idea traditional values does not mean I need to be old fashioned! I also agree with my role being to support my husband and to build him up do that he can be the strong leader that God has called him to be for our family! Thank you!
