Are you a Mom or Mom-to-be?

mother

Recent memorable moment about mothering (either your own or others).

i came in late from a long day of work; substitute teaching in the morning then closing at the music/video/book store i work at feeling pretty haggard when i peeked into my daughter's room to wish her sweet dreams with a kiss and i see her smiling in her sleep. it filled me with that sparkly feeling that the smiles of children inspire.

Do you have a child with special needs?

every child has special needs

What do you do for self-care?

lately i manage a few deep breaths in the morning before i open my eyes

What would you like to give or receive at Mamashare?

i offer my words of love understanding and peace; like a blanket to wrap around you. i am looking for other mamas in blended families.

What suggestions or insights do you have for the mamashare network to work better for you?

i think this is working fine

What's your sense of community like?

sometimes it seems like people are too busy for community, including me. i dont reach out as much as i would like, as much as i should. im lucky enough to have wonderful family that are always available to listen without judgment or lend a hand. i have a few close friends close that are close by and some great co workers. i would like to expand my community
