I have been stewing on something.

I have been stewing on something for awhile which means if I had posted it in the moment you would probably never want to read my blog again.  Maybe you won't after this anyway but here it goes.

Working moms, stay at home moms, home school moms, public school moms, private school moms, adoptive moms, single moms, divorced moms, moms of blended families, nursing moms, bottle feeding moms, moms who feed their children only organic, those who don't,  those moms who let their children date during high school, moms who don't, moms who vaccinate their children, and those who choose not to vaccinate,  moms who have 10 or 18 children, moms who have 1, moms who let their children watch tv, those who don't.  We all make choices based on life experiences, how we were parented, our personalities, our likes and dislikes, opinions, discoveries, faith, and our children.

No matter the choice we are all moms.  Moms who care about our children enough to make these choices.  Choices that we have and can make freely.  So let's stop judging others about choices they get to make about their precious children and worry more about the children who don't have a mom to choose for them.

How about we care more about this child...

This is Lekini he is from Kenya.  He is three in this picture.  He has been abandoned and when found he was eating dirt and flies to survive.  He weighed 17 pounds. He was rescued and is doing well,  thankfully!  

Don't you think we should be a little more concerned about the children here in America and around the world who do not have a family to make choices for them than this?

We are all mom enough.  So don't feed into the medias ridiculousness and start caring and speaking up for what really matters.  (I know the article is about attachment parenting....another choice)

It has taken me awhile to get to this point.  In my own mothering insecurities I would make judgements about other moms and their choices until I realized how others were judging me and continue to.  Who my son dates, how much time my daughter spends at ballet, when I stopped breast feeding Katie at 4 months,  public school,  international adoption versus domestic adoption, having six children.  It happens but I am not going to do that to another mom.  We need to encourage each other and step up for the children who so need us to and love them and bring them into our homes.


OK I feel better.  Been stewing on this for weeks and the Time pic put me over the edge!!!  Along with watching Blind Side twice in one evening. 

Happy Friday you super MOMS!!!  Have a wonderful Mothers Day and remember that you are enough no matter what you choose!!
