Inside: Being a Mom is no picnic! But the moment you have a child, you become a sister in the motherhood sorority. This is my open letter to moms.
There’s something special about being a mom. It’s like an all inclusive sorority. If you put two moms in a room together, it won’t be long until they are talking about the joys and struggles of being a mother.
Today I want to salute you, my fellow Mommys. We’re in this together!
An Open Letter to Moms
Dear Mom Who Is Still Pregnant,

The list of easy winter activities for kids you’ve been looking for. Cheap, simple, fun for a tired Mom!

You are desperately Googling for fun activities, because if you Google the words running through your mind you are afraid you’ll wind up on a list somewhere.
While I’d love to offer you another cup of coffee and some chocolate pie, the internet has its limitations.
But what I can give you is a treasure trove of ideas to do when you are stuck inside.

The baby of our family recently turned two years old.
(I suppose that means that I am not really supposed to be calling him a baby anymore. But let’s be honest… it’ll be years before we stop calling him “the baby”!)
It also marks the fifth time our family has navigated the “terrible twos”.
Two year olds are something else!
You’re so proud of the many things they have learned to do on their own. They are really starting to grow up.

Since we already talked about 10 Reasons to Have a Big Family, today we are going to talk about reasons you should NOT have a big family. I’ve heard them all!
Please keep in mind that this is a rather tongue in cheek style post. I realize that big family life is not for everyone, and each family must decide what is best for them. But… when you have a large family, you hear these comments rather often. Amirite?
