Online Message Forum for Full-time Stay-at-home Moms!

I'm looking to set up a weekly online message forum for full-time stay-at-home mothers. We can discuss issues and concerns that relate to our lifestyle. I'm hoping that loads of advice and support will be offered here at this website. All mothers (even those who work outside the home) are welcome to participate in this forum. The topics covered will relate to stay-at-home moms, however, I realize that ALL moms have great information to offer and we don't want anyone excluded.

Each week I hope to post a topic for discussion. If any moms have ideas they'd like to submit, please email me and we'll get them posted. No vulgarity or insults will be tolerated on this weblog. Should any person post a threat, an insult, or use profane language, they will be blocked from posting. This is a site designed to offer HELP and SUPPORT only.

Please email suggestions about times and days that work for meetings: mommyemail@gmail.com
I hope we get this going!

Another Tribute to Moms

Being pregnant is like walking over a plank and cable bridge. Behind me, on one bank, is the tribe of women who are not mothers. They drink coffee, stay up late, skip meals, plan careers, change lovers, study Sanskrit, and write grant proposals for a five-year study of tropical cloud forests. In front of me, on the other bank, is the tribe of mothers. They arrive late, leave early, are badly in need of haircuts, talk a lot about nap schedules, know way too much about guinea pigs, and have to hang up now.

Becoming a mother makes you the mother of all children. From now on each wounded, abandoned, frightened child is yours. You live in the suffering mothers of every race and creed and weep with them. You long to comfort all who are desolate.
--Charlotte Gray

Childbirth is an experience in a woman’s life that holds the power to transform her forever passing through these powerful gates remembering all the generations of women who walk with her… She is never alone.

"Making the decision to have a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."

"A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."

She broke the bread into two fragments and gave them to her children, who ate with eagerness. "She hath kept none for herself," grumbled the sergeant, "Because she is not hungry." said a soldier "No," said the sergeant, "Because she is a mother."
