The Reality of Motherhood

2009-08-09T08:55:00.000-07:00

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.

If you couldn't talk, would your actions set a

good example for others to follow?

Your love walk

Your forgiveness walk

Your compassionate walk

Your health walk

Your spiritual walk

Someone is following your walk...where are you leading them?

What About The Children

2009-08-07T17:11:00.000-07:00

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

2008-09-01T15:09:00.000-07:00

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.

Balance vs Juggle

Are you balancing your family life and career or are you juggling your roles from day to day?

Some mothers think it's possible to have balance, whereas some believe

we're all juggling our many roles and a perfect balance doesn't exist.

Take Care of YOU!

2007-08-15T16:02:00.000-07:00

What have you done for YOU lately?

Before you can properly care for your family; you MUST take care of you.

You are the fuel that keeps the family going, therefore, you must refuel yourself!

Here are just a few questions to answer. Your answers should tell you something.

Have you eaten a nutritious meal in the last two days?
Have you exercised this week?
Have you had at least 10-12 eight ounce glasses of water today?
Have you taken time to stretch your muscles today?
Have you looked in the mirror and smiled at yourself today?
Have you given yourself a compliment recently?
Have you pampered yourself within the last week?
Have you gotten to bed before 11 p.m. recently?
Have you had a time out today?
Did you walk away from your desk during your lunch break?
Have you been looking at the computer screen for over an hour?
Have you had a date night in the past two months?
Have you had a girl's night out or any alone time this month?

Just a reminder...if you're running on empty or just a 1/4 tank of fuel,

it's time to take care of YOU.
