The Power of Mom’s Presence
“Today in an auditorium full of parents my son scanned the room looking for me. When he saw me his face lit up the room. He wasn’t looking for the perfect parent.

Mother’s Prayers: A Source of Strength
Embrace Meaningful Moments
Nurture Independence with Connection
“Attachment does not hinder independence, it fosters it. Cuddle those babies. Carry those babies. Let those babies sleep in your arms and on your chest and be with you all the time. They will start taking steps away from you when they’re ready.” – Emily Holdaway
Grand Choice To Be A Mother
“Making the decision to have a child – it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” – Elizabeth Stone
Hug More, Tug Less!
“If I had my child to raise all over again,
I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I’d finger-paint more, and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.
I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging and less tugging.”
― Diane Loomans

Losing Minds, Finding Souls
“On the days you feel like you can’t make it, just remember you can. And that this is just a season in life. You blink and they are 8. Then 28. And then they are parents, resembling a you, you once were. So take it in, mama. Let them climb into bed with you any hour of the night. Sing that song they requested for the 10th time. Hold them a little tighter when all they want is to shower with you and feel your skin against theirs. Maybe in raising children, you lose your mind a little bit. But, boy, do you find your soul!” -Sharon Hakes
Nurture Wise Decision Makers
“The way kids learn to make good decisions is by making decisions, not by following directions.” ― Alfie Kohn
Stop Mom-to-Mom Competition

It is always about happiness, love and satisfaction in life. It brings out the best and the worst in us. And we will always love our children unconditionally.” – Anonymous
