Finding other Moms

Looking back on this past year, I realize how important it has been to have the support and help of other moms.

I feel exceedingly lucky to have found a group of 225 moms...all with babies that were due in January 2011. I had no idea when I went online to join a community of moms-to-be that they would become such an integral part of my life. I can't thank them enough for their humor, advice, support, and even some tough love.

So my advice to any mom-to-be is to find a community - be it on-line or in-person. Hold tight to these people, learn from them, teach them, laugh and cry with them. They will make everything better :)

To read some blogs from some of these amazing women that I call my friends - even though I haven't "met" any of them - I highly suggest you read this post from Our Life - one of my favorite "mommy blogs." It's called Strength & Beauty: An Open Letter to Moms Everywhere.

With one of my January Mommy friends :)
