Thanks, Today Parents for sharing my words. For some, Mother’s Day is filled with mixed emotions...for me it is a time to both celebrate my mom and grieve her loss.

Hi all! Wanted to spread the word about a great moms group I've been leading since last spring, which is starting back up again next week. It's a group for moms who recently had another baby and want a safe, non-judgmental place to talk with other moms about all that comes with parenting two (or more) children. Topics ranged from brainstorming strategies for dealing with sleep, behavior challenges, work/life balance, relationships with spouse, etc etc. I'm the group leader and an UWS psychologist and mother of two. The group meets Mondays at 1pm beginning next week. PM me for more information!!
