Raising Mothers

Are You Stressed?

A mother's daily life is full of demands, to-do's, get dones, and even a few hassles. Have you allowed stress to become a way of life for you? Are you always on the edge or find it difficult to cope with simple matters of life?

All stress isn't bad. Stress can help you perform under pressure and cope with demanding days and deadlines, but when you constantly move in fifth gear, your mind, body, and soul suffers.

Whether you work inside your home or outside your home, it's always helpful to recognize symptoms and signs of stress.

Visit Mom's Peace Place and let's talk about stress.

The Reality of Motherhood

The pressures of life, expectations of society, and a woman's never-ending to-do list can leave one feeling inadequate and frustrated.

Very few will ask for help or reach out to a loved one or friend to share hidden emotions and feelings.

Momsweb is that friend. We understand and share the reality of Motherhood and all the highs and lows a mother will experience from day to day.

The Motherhood Journey is not easy, but you're not alone. Visit Momsweb to renew your mind and for a loving reminder of just how important you are to your family.

What About The Children

Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Month is recognized in April,

yet child awareness should be every day.

Mothers can help PREVENT child sexual abuse simply with their eyes.

What About The Children

Even within the walls of their own home,

children are at risk for sexual abuse.

30-40% of victims are abused by a family member
Another 50% are abused by someone outside the family whom they know and trust
Approximately 40% are abused by older or larger children whom they know
Therefore, only 10% are abused by strangers.

Mom's Energy Tip - 8 x 8 Rule

Did you know the lack of water may be a cause for lack of energy?

How much water should you drink? I'm sure you've heard of the 8 X 8 Rule - drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day (about 1.9 liters).

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
