This event is sponsored in part by The Village.
If you are drowning in the responsibilities, the big emotions (theirs and yours), and the impossible decisions...
If you've heard the advice for momlife, "you just have to find your village," and then realized you don't have that village, and don't even know how to begin to find one...
If you could use easily accessible support groups, access to multiple experts in the areas you are struggling with, a supportive virtual 24/7 community of moms who get it (away from Facebook)....
3 scholarships will be given away to Momlife Quarterly mamas. If you win you'll be notified the week of 11/11/20. If you join, but later win the scholarship, I'll refund your membership fees. APPLY FOR A SCHOLARSHIP TO THE VILLAGE
I want to hear from you!
What are your biggest takeaways from this Momlife Quarterly? What did you enjoy the most? What was tricky? What would you want to see in a future issue?

Happy Holidays in Complex Families
Sometimes the holiday stress is so much that moms and stepmoms are too stressed to really be able to enjoy the holidays and traditions that they love.
Stepfamilies can have unique struggles around the holiday season.
After 20 years as a stepmom with a big, boisterous blended family, I will share tools and tips to help you thrive and not just survive the busy holiday season.
