Welcome Friend!

I am so glad you stopped by!  Come on up the path, open the front door and come inside.  You don't even have to knock.  You are welcome here no matter who you are, what kind of day you are having or how much you may be hurting.  In fact if you are hurting, this is just the place for you.

I want you to feel at home here.  Take off your shoes, snuggle up on the sofa and have a cup of tea.  You can be you here - no need to pretend.  You can cry, scream or laugh . . . or just be quiet and have some time to be.  Be happy, be sad, be angry, be full of joy - be whoever you need to be.

I know how hard it is to be a mom.  It is not easy - and that's putting it mildly! We take the brunt of criticism from our families and we often feel like others are judging us if we struggle or our children don't behave properly (whatever that means.)  We do our best, but it never seems to be quite good enough.  We need someone, somewhere to invite us in and to accept us just as we are.  We need a soft place to fall.

There are not many safe places to fall in this world.  I want this to be one of yours and I want to point you to other safe places that I have found on my mothering journey.  These places are places of encouragement and comfort.  Places that we look forward to going to because they feel . . . like home.

I don't know what kind of home you came from.  If it is this kind of home (a soft place to fall,) I am so glad for you!  If it is not this type of home, then join with the many others of us who did not experience that type of home either.  

I am just so happy that you have decided to stop by.  I value who you are - your thoughts, your experiences, your gifts.  I would love to hear from you and get to know who you are and become friends along the way.

My home is your home.  Come in , explore the rooms, take a nap in the spare bedroom, make a cup of tea, invite friends over.  Make yourself at home!

**Just to be clear, the house is not mine - just a picture of one I found for free on the internet.  It is a beautiful home though - isn't it?
