As I said ...
As I said in the previous post, all three blogs will be participating in the MothersAct day on October 24th. I'll add a button to the two blogs in which I can do that (on our sidebars) now. As for the third, I'll do a post on Monday about MothersAct for the 24th to see if some other birth mothers will join in on their blogs on the 24th.
I hope to see others involved as well.

I Support the MOTHERS Act
My site is about cooking rather than about parenthood. However, I feel this is an important enough issue and will gladly post about it on the 24th.

I will be blogging it at Healthy Concerns
healthyconcerns.com...although I'm not a mother and never will be, the stories are heart-breaking...for the moms, their children, and their families.
I will also call my Senator.

I'm here for the cause!! I'll blog for the
MOTHERS ACT.
I just had a beautiful baby in July. I am all for the cause. It's a fine line we walk those first few weeks. I know I had issues at first but thankfully I was able to overcome them. I am extremely happy today.
