That said, do you know how excited I was to stumble across the Power of Moms website.?! Imagine me with my mouth open, and two hands holding up three with my thumb and pinky bent on both sides to make a big "WOW." I was stoked! The website offers free webinars, resources, blog links, learning tools, and awesome essays from real moms.
To make things even better, I found out they are having a Power of Moms retreat in Southern California the last week of January in La Canada! That's super close to me! The price was a bit hefty so I quickly e-mailed them with our struggling student status, asking if I could offer to help out in exchange for a reduced rate and lucky for me, they said yes! Woo-hoo!!! I can't wait to go to the retreat, to hear the wisdom (or craziness, only time will tell) from the other moms, and leave a little stronger and more prepared at this whole complicated and sometimes very difficult, but always rewarding, yes even when he poops on me or bites my boob, job of motherhood). It's like I'm still working and I'm going to a big conference, except it's for my new job... the one as a mom. I can't wait! Side note, what does one wear to something like this?...

@Johanna missed your shower, still have something for you if I can get around to making it! darn me not being super crafty!
Daisy, thanks for writing such a beautiful post about The Power of Moms. We are SO glad you found us, and I can't wait to meet you at the Retreat. (And I changed my babies' diapers the SAME way . . . just not upside down. Should have thought of that!)
Have a great day!
