Hello BellaOnline Moms,

Thank you for reading the Moms site and for checking out the newsletter. I look forward to sharing experiences and ideas with you.

I am the mother of four wonderful children who each have their unique personalities and dispositions. They have taught me a lot about being a mother and my oldest has since had two children of his own.

I have been the following:

• A young mom
• A working mom
• A mom juggling school and work
• A divorced mom
• A mom working nights, 12-hour shifts, seven days a week
• A dating mom
• A stay-at-home mom
• An out-of-work mom
• An old mom

I have learned a lot about being a mom through everyday activities with kids who were a handful. Moms are the ones that take care of everyone, have all the answers, and get everything done. No mom is perfect but moms seem to be hardest on themselves. Sometimes, I even felt alone – like I was the only one in my position. This couldn’t be further from the truth – there are moms literally everywhere, helping everyone. Sadly though, a lot of moms don’t get the credit they deserve.

That’s what this site is for – to help, inspire and celebrate moms!

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments – either on existing articles or anything related to moms – feel free to email me. Also, check out the Moms forum, where you can chat with other moms about anything related to being a mom.
