Motherhood is one of the most challenging and yet most rewarding experiences many women will ever have. Most of the time it feels like we're just figuring things out as we go, and that stands whether your kids are 5 or 25, but it helps a whole lot when you have other mamas around you to turn to for support or when you need to rant sans judgement.
