    Welcome.

    Relax, sweet mama. Take a deep breath and lay your expectations down. This is your place, a place for a tired mama to just BE. You’re welcome here.  We’re in this together. You’re doing just fine… you’re a great mom. I know you’re weary and overwhelmed; I know it because we all are, no matter where we are in the journey. But don’t give up! Don’t quit!  Pull up a chair, pour that (second or third or fifth) cup of coffee, and let’s enjoy the company of other moms, and let’s draw encouragement from sharing our stories. Every mom is welcome and loved here.
