Today is a special post put together by myself and four other moms from our Community Writing Team. We come together to support Moms that are pregnant or have a newborn. We will start out with a Mom sharing a concern and we will share three supportive responses that are filled with encouragement from Moms…
There have been seasons in my life where I have had more time on my own then with friends or family. Friends move away or life gets busy. Disagreements happen and hearts are broken.
