Moms without Blogs is a place for moms and women to congregate together, support one another and gain strength in the knowledge that we are not alone when we feel oh so far from having it all together.
There's a ton of information these days flying around at moms and moms-to-be about what we need to do or should be doing to be "good" moms. So much in fact that sometimes it's hard to hear the most important voice of all - our own.
This space in the blogosphere is made up of women who are working hard to embrace our feelings of inadequacy as mothers and to remind ourselves that it's okay to have a bad day, it's okay to not have an organic meal prepared for dinner, it's okay to not have a blog where we write about our fabulous educational outings with our kids, it's okay to not to have an innovative craft project planned for a Saturday afternoon, it's okay to yell at our kids from time to time, it's okay to have piles of dirty laundry in the hallway, it's okay to feel buried by an avalanche of paper, it's okay to not want to enroll our kids in a slew of classes to make sure they are "exceptional", and it's okay to admit that the happiest time of the day is the end of the day when the kids are finally asleep.
And most of all, our mission over here at MWOB is that, although there are external signs everywhere pointing us in all kinds of directions telling us what it means to be a supermom, we know that the real truth is...
"Being a supermom is simply a state of mind."
So get yourself in the right state of mind and spread the word.
All Hail!!

ReplyDeleteIs there an age limit?
ReplyDeleteYou can't imagine how I wished something like this had been around in my way back when days. Now that my 5 are 11 - 20 , I'm getting it.
Truth be told I did know in my core, and fought hard , but a community , a sisterhood.... that is such a gift and would have helped so much. Maybe it wouldn't have needed all the tylenol and red wine.... nah.
Can I join too????
