Moms are so great at sharing! I’ve been at 2 events lately – a Mom + Baby event for trying, expecting and new moms and the NPN expectant moms mingle – asking questions and encouraging moms to share the ups and downs of pregnancy and parenting, and I’m NEVER worried that no one will say anything! I…
Stop comparing! It’s nasty business. It’s too easy to see another mom excelling in an aspect of parenting and then start to get anxious that we’re not doing it right or well enough.

Be a resource. Sometimes we hesitate. Sometimes we question, “Who am I to say?” or “What do I really know?” I’m encouraging us all to set those doubts aside. You have valuable contributions. You really do. That’s why the idea of offering something came to mind. As long as you’re willing to have the other…
Okay! I say it all the time: Women – Moms in particular – do NOT acknowledge themselves enough. We are, too often, focused on what we’re not quite handling exactly the way we want… how we’re not quite measuring up to the Mom next door… how we’re supposed to be taking care of everyone else……
