New to MommyLife? Welcome!
If you like MommyLife, don't forget to sign up for my email list in the right sidebar!
Periodically I do a little update for readers new to this site - and since I have visitors dropping in for one particular post, I'm thinking now might be a good time to do one.
MommyLife began on January 15, 2005. Since then, I have written 6085 entries and some of the smartest moms in the world have made 22,732 comments.
Before I blogged, I was a professional writer. I started blogging because I wanted a more immediate way to connect with readers. I have definitely found it: MommyLife is averaging nearly 7000 visits/day!
Thank you very much for visiting here.
Below my header are links to help you find any information you need by date or category as well as links to other blogs that link here (and if you link to me and are not there, let me know and I'll fix it).
On the right sidebar is my Site Google where you can enter subjects like Toddlers, Montessori, Down syndrome, Tweens, Teens - and come up with everything I've written about it.
On the left sidebar, under Barbara's Picks, is a wealth of information. While these are linked to Amazon and your purchases there can earn a small percentage to support MommyLife, the most important thing about them is the descriptions which show why and how each item can work to release the God-given potentials in your child and your family. So even if you never bought a thing there, you'd be better equipped to judge the value of books and toys and learning materials. And it's a good place to steer those who buy gifts for your children so they choose something worthwhile.
On the left are links to my very latest posts (since I average 7 posts a day, you will need to hit my Archives for more),the latest comments and any speaking engagements (I don't go out looking for these, but try to say yes when asked.)
There are also projects - like my book study on Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, Classic Movies for Boys and numerous photo albums. The picture above is from the Mother's Day album I put together as a gift to my readers this year.
In the right sidebar is a MommyLife Widget which you are welcome to add to your site if you would like your own readers to have more frequent cultural/political/spiritual news updates:
The purpose of this site is to encourage, equip and empower moms - but there are lots of other people who read me too. If you've come here to disagree about something specific, you might want to take a few minutes to find some common ground.
