This page is dedicated
especially to those who are mommies,
mommies-to-be, and those who are
considering joining the wonderful
world of 'mommiehood'!
Updated Tuesday, April 07, 1998
I am the proud mommie of two handsome
boys, Devin and Sean. From the day I first
discovered I was pregnant with my five
year old, I have felt the need, as so many
women do, to share my experiences. The
birth of my 18 month old only reaffirmed my
desire to reach out to others, those more
experienced than me, and those following
in my footsteps.
The comments I have included on this page
are my own. I am certainly no medical
doctor, and I make no claim to be an expert
in pregnancy, labor & delivery or child-
rearing. I am merely a student of life...
sometimes being educated by my kids!
I hope you will find something of use and of
interest on this page. Please feel free to
email me with any comments, suggestions or
even information you feel would benefit
others. Or, if you just have something to
get off your shoulders and need a
concerned ear, I'm here to listen!
Enter your parenting tips and tricks for
the Timely Tidbits page...
...a page where parents can go to find helpful
advice, and even post their own words of wisdom.
But it needs your input to be successful.
Be sure to take a peek before you go!
