More Experienced Moms
One of the best tips I can give you – and one of the main reasons I started the blog – is to utilize the experience of moms who have been doing this for a while. More experienced moms have a lot of time under their belts. They’ve seen a ton and been through more than you can imagine. They’re here – and I’m here – to tell the tales and share the wisdom.
My own mom and Dave’s mom were extremely helpful to me at the beginning of my parenting journey. They had the perspective to keep the worrying to a minimum and remind me that kids are very resilient little creatures.
Now that my youngest is in his 20’s, I can honestly say, the moms who have been through it are a great resource. Ask people you know and love or feel free to drop me a question in the comments or in my e-mail. I’ll do my best to help or to point you to resources you need.
Make your Mondays less manic by asking for help. No need to reinvent the wheel.
