It's mother's day coming up next weekend. It's a day to celebrate you as a mother, but do you know who that is? Many women don't immediately feel like a mother once their child is born, and instead gradually
learn to see themselves in ways that fit with the identity of "mother." In the meantime, the self she has previously known herself to be feels completely out of reach as her daily activities, capabilities and expectations have shifted so dramatically.

Many people understand that life with baby warrants a lot of changes, but what that actually feels like for them is often a surprise. Some women feel themselves drop into the identity of "Mother" right away,
and maybe have even identified themselves as Mothers long before their baby was born. But for the women who do not feel like a mother right
away, the shift in her self identify after baby can be a place of real loneliness or loss, even while at the same time loving their child and new family.

This month we encourage you to explore activities and events that cultivate your self care and nourish the growing sense of 'Me' that evolves alongside your growing children. The Mother's Day Soirée
(http://mothersdaysoiree.eventbrite.com/) with speakers Heather Clark, author of "Chai Tea Sunday" and fashion stylist Rachel Matthews Burton
will feed your spirit and your fashion sense for a total self make-over. Get out more with your baby by attending our free Baby Wearing Workshop (http://thenestingplace.ca/news_events.php#carrier),
where you'll get to try different carriers with your child that'll enable you to get out of the house (or get more done inside the house) hands free!

Some women will choose to honour their life changes through ritual, journaling or creating artwork. On Friday May 11th, Toronto's Doula Care organization is hosting a Birth Fire at Dufferin Grove beginning at 7pm. Parents are invited to bring memories, wishes or items that
they wish to let go of to burn in the fire.

How might you honour your life changes in motherhood?

Or just take a moment to really listen to the inspiring stories from real life parents in your life. Whatever you do, be gentle with yourself as you gradually grow into your parenting feet. Just as your child takes time to learn to walk on it's own two feet, you too will take time to learn to walk on your parenting legs with confidence.

It is an interesting article. When you get a baby you just start to study. You have to find out what is the meaning of being a parent.

I am very much overwhelmed by your thoughts for this particular story. A more deeper and staged knowledge would be good for me

I have realized that over the course of developing a relationship with real estate managers, you'll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate financial transaction, a payment is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers do not "save" the percentage. Rather, they fight to earn the commission through doing a agent's work. In accomplishing this, they invest their money along with time to accomplish, as best they could, the duties of an adviser. Those responsibilities include uncovering the home by way of marketing, showing the home to prospective buyers, making a sense of buyer urgency in order to induce an offer, booking home inspections, controlling qualification checks with the lender, supervising repairs, and aiding the closing.

A few things i have seen in terms of personal computer memory is always that there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must match the requirements of the mother board. If the computer's motherboard is fairly current while there are no main system issues, improving the storage space literally takes under an hour. It's one of several easiest personal computer upgrade methods one can visualize. Thanks for expressing your ideas.
