By Erin Stewart, Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 7:25 am MST

The feud has gone on long enough. I’m calling an end to the war between stay-at-home moms and working moms right now. There may be a mud pit and boxing gloves involved, but in the end, we will all have … Continue reading»

About Me

I am a mother of two daughters: Nicole is almost 5 and Anne is 19 months. Every Tuesday I write the Just4Moms blog to discuss everything about my life as a mom — from stretch marks to the latest news for moms. I usually write while the kids or napping or doing swan dives off the back of the couch.

Three things I have learned about myself as a mother:

1. I am not perfect.
2. I will never be perfect.
3. Nobody else is either.

Happy reading -- and mothering!
