Being a mom is hard work!
So often we compare ourselves and our situation with others which may lead to feelings of inadequacy. Working moms may feel they need to keep up in the home the way that stay at home moms do or stay at home moms may wonder how women can do all that they do and also work. We may feel judged for whether or not we work or stay home. Regardless of what our circumstances are, God knows our mother hearts and intentions and we can let Him prevail in our lives. As women we should all support one another and respect and celebrate our differences.
In Part 2 we talk to Angie our work from home mom and Tracie our working mom about challenges and blessings.
A special thank you to our guests Angie and Tracie for taking the time to meet with us!Send us a text

Have you ever had challenges that have made you feel alone? We want you to know that you are not alone. Oftentimes when we hear of others who have similar circumstances and experiences it validates our own loss and helps us feel less alone in our struggles. In this way we can uplift and support one another. We can also learn how to best support our love ones who may be going through hard things.
We are interviewing women who are making lemonade with the challenges in their lives by being open and sharing them to help others as well as seeing the sunshine in their trials. We would love for you to come and listen and sip some lemonade in the sunshine with us!Send us a text
