Compassion in Motherhood-toward each other
Blogs are great....because women are everywhere these days...OK, you know what I mean...we're at home, at the office, in the car with our blackberries (I don't have one actually but I might get one), at the grocery, at the gym (sometimes or hypothetically), at meetings, running errands, picking up kids,  etc.  We can read about other women's experiences -- the good, the bad, the ugly, the wonderful!.....all of it is somewhere out there to be shared.  This site is a "coming together" location for women to really develop a sense of compassion for each other.....to end the Mommy Wars, draw us closer together, and help us get on with issues confronting all women whether you currently work outside the home or not (affordable healthcare, childcare, equal pay, re-entry options into the workforce, medical benefits for part-time work, etc.).
    Since I have both stayed at home and understand being busy shuttling between activities, scheduling around nap times, arranging playdates, endless errands, volunteering,etc. as well as working and feelings pangs of guilt as I drive away from my daughter's preschool on my way to work -- pangs of guilt because of won't see her for a few hours mixed with happiness that she has other capable people to help her learn and grow & that I get to work and help people in my chosen career--  I just don't have the energy to judge other moms as harshly as I once did....before I had kids that is.   Instead I have compassion and admiration.  Also, before you judge..remember that many moms don't have a choice to stay at home even with the most clever of financial arrangements.  For many that is just not an option.

Focus group details coming soon....if you would like to be involved let us know!!!!!  Leave a comment with your email. 

Until there's time to post again.....have a perfectly imperfect day.
