I belong to a wonderful group of women who are wives and mommies. They are called the Manic Mommies and they are a network of moms like me who listen to and love the Manic Mommies Podcast by the founding manic mommies, Kristen and Erin! I encourage all my friends to listen to the podcasts and visit the website. (www.manicmommies.com)
In a day and age where friends, girlfriends, are so very important, the manic mommies offers a place where other moms can get advice, empathy, ideas or laughs! I don’t know my next door neighbors, our schedules never really permitted us to bond. I have some good friends from church and school, but again, our schedules get hectic and we get busy. Many of us grew up with stay at home moms who had good friends up an down the street! They helped each other out, watching kids, borrowing a can of tomato sauce, doing laundry for a sick mom, helping with carpool. But today’s woman doesn’t have that. We can, however, reach out out to other moms on the web. I am hoping my own blog can do that. I do enjoy the Manic Mom Web site, blogs and message boards. There are so many smart, savvy, and humorous women who share ideas, thoughts and suggestions. It’s like a neighbor who is available when you are!
You go Manic Moms!
