Being Mama embodies the ability to nurture, to control the driving force within, and being able to love forever, unconditionally. We juggle a lot at once: emotions, job expectations, finances, relationships, health, and more. These authors share all kinds of stories about the different experiences of womanhood to motherhood. How does one embrace motherhood while still being herself? What can she do to set aside time for herself? When she is a strong support to many, who supports her? So Mama, it's time to take time for YOU. Kick up your feet, tell them Mama time is important too, and find some new friends within these pages.
