Last Wednesday we had another wonderful circle of mamas gathered at Las Palmas Park for Mom’s Circle. Thank you all for coming and making this a special Valentine’s edition with chocolate, the presence of a very special baby boy who just turned one and some real good talking, including recommended resources and even some taboo topics such as pregnancy and sex drive.
Here’s a list of resources we shared:
