Mothering Support is Only a Click Away

You may feel alone, but you're not.

In my experience, motherhood can feel isolating. Something you wanted (being a parent) and made conscious decisions to embrace later can paralyze you. The enormity and the reality of a brand new human being that is dependent only on you can be overwhelming.

These days, a new mother need only reach out with a few clicks on the keyboard to connect to a vibrant community waiting to support and embrace you online.

There are many dynamic mothers in Athens blogging their personal experiences online. A casual survey found local mothers blogging at Cool Modern Mama, Those That Have Young, and The Feminist Housewife.
