It’s time for Monday Morning Mamas! I have three wonderful Mamas to share with you today. So please grab your favorite cup of coffee and dig in…I know you’ll enjoy these Mamas just as much as I do.
I just have to share this post I came across this week from Mothering Mayhem. Her post A Good Enough Mother and the Mid-Motherhood Crisis, is so moving and beautifully expressed. Faced with sending her youngest daughter off to kindergarten, she feels propelled into a “raging case of mid-motherhood crisis”.
This is a must read, I know you will see some of yourself here…I know I did.

This next Mama is…well…Zen. She is The Zen Mama and if you haven’t been to her inspiring site yet, you really should. Here, she talks about letting go of her son…yet again. It brought tears to my eyes because it seems our hearts never stop aching when we say good-bye to our children, no matter how old they are. She writes about sending her grown son off to College, and oh boy, it made me realize that letting go…well, I don’t think it ever gets easier even as they get older.
This Zen Mama sure has some words of wisdom and inspiration. She has even written a book titled How to be a Zen Mama, where she shares her words of inspiration on how to “stop worrying” and “get closer” to your kids. I loved it.

This third Mama, Heligirl, is just so cool. I mean she used to be a helicopter pilot, now she’s Mama to two adorable children and has a passion for Positive Parenting. I love that her blog is devoted to this. Check out this post about Sibling Rivalry Pitfalls to Avoid. It has great tips on simple things we can do daily with the bickering little love bugs in our lives.
She is also hosting a free webinar on Positive Parenting Solutions that will take place Tuesday August 17th. Click here for all the information.
Thank you so much for stopping by for these Monday Morning Mamas, please pay them a visit and I hope you enjoyed

Thanks so much Melissa for featuring me today. I'm honored! I absolutely love my blogging friends! The blogosphere is a world that has room for everyone. Thanks!
I just went to visit Mrs. Mayhem and love her! She and I are both going through withdrawls as we sent our child (kindergarten for her and college for me) off to school. I tried to visit Heligirl but her site is under maintenance. I will go back soon.
Thanks again!
