Quote of the Week
"Your empathy for other mothers is such a natural instinct, and it's such a beautiful thing that we all connect, and we should all help each other. We should all help each other." -- Salma Hayek
Nurturing Mother-to-Mother Kindness
"...Simple acts of kindness coming from other mothers have lifted my spirits on hard days, rescued me in difficult moments, and made me feel extremely special when I needed a boost. That feeling of warmth and gratitude stayed with me all day that day and has further inspired me to be more mindful of other mothers around me. It can be something as simple as opening a door, or carrying a baby while another mom uses the restroom, or helping lift a heavy stroller over a tall curb - all of these little things add up and are greatly appreciated by moms." With Mother's Day around the corner, this lovely blog post from Power of Moms highlights many wonderful ways that we can support the journeys of mothers everywhere through small acts of love. [more]
Reading Corner
 Title: Motherhood Realized: An Inspiring Anthology for the Hardest Job You'll Ever Love
By: Power of Moms Stage: Any
"The book is full of life-truths that will bless moms everywhere. Most helpful I think is the redefining of social media's concept of a "good mom." This book will help moms see their strengths and how to utilize them in their mothering. It will help moms realize they are (and always have been) the right mother for their children. It will help them appreciate more moments, be present, and better enjoy the journey of motherhood." -- Amazon Reviewer
"This review sums up my thoughts -- it's an uplifting and inspiring read for moms, finally a book that celebrates every aspect of motherhood without telling you what you should or shouldn't do to be the "perfect mom" and instead helps you to find joy in the journey! :)" -- Trishna Shah
