They can be so essential to new mothers. When my husband returned to school to do his PhD we had a 1 and 2 1/2 year old. Luckily we lived in family student housing which had a community center where they offered lots of activities and playgroups for the kids. I swear it helped keep me from being really depressed as a lonely exhausted mother. There were women from all over the world, but we were all in very similar places in our lives so we became an immense support system for each other. You center sounds wonderful, I sure miss mine, where I actually ended up working part-time once the kids got a little older.Melanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-14830322761457497862010-01-29T10:58:29.215+10:002010-01-29T10:58:29.215+10:00That is a PROPER building -- one that is designed ...That is a PROPER building -- one that is designed to fulfil its purposes.

What...What a beautiful building, you are so lucky!<br /><br />What wonderful work you do Rhonda Jean! I truly believe that a big part of self-reliance is more than just food storage and gardening, it is making sure that you are involved in helping others become self-reliant, and you do that so well. I believe that it takes someone special to help and teach those who do not have the skills to help themselves, so that they can thrive and grow in this ever-changing world - it can be done with love and patience and you have both. This is something that we should all learn to embrace. <br /><br />Good luck and blessings,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24013654081198881512010-01-29T09:02:30.152+10:002010-01-29T09:02:30.152+10:00How wonderful after all the effort you and your te...How wonderful after all the effort you and your team have put in.
