I found a great blog the other day that I’ve been peeking at here and there—part of offsprung.com. Hausfrau writes from the perspective of a mom in Northern NJ—ah, I can identify. Very funny and witty and I’d recommend it for a laugh here and there.

And in other recommendations: saw a good article in Newsweek from Maria Shriver. She has a great perspective on balance—she was one of the first to say “You can have it all. Just not at the same time”. Here’s the link to the whole article, but I especially loved this part:

“…I’m not sure enough respect and attention have been paid along the way to some of the simple acts traditionally associated with being a mother–the nurturing, the gentleness, the listening and the comforting. I think bringing into this world a child who feels whole, who feels loved, who feels safe and who feels centered is the most powerful act of all. If you get it right, wow! There’s nothing better.”

I KNOW in my head and by watching them that my kids are loved and are confident in that love. So I guess if that’s all I can accomplish now it’s a good thing to be proud of.
