As I was reading your article, I felt like I was reading my current life story. I recently became a WAHM. I launched my blog few months ago (www.isavvymom.com) and I have been working every day for many hours earning pennies (literally) but like any small business, it takes time and A LOT of effort before you get rewarded. Keep going, you are doing GREAT. Being a WAHM is not easy but it's nice to feel sometimes that we can do it all - somehow :) Michele,

I could talk about my mom all day long. I feel lucky to have been her daughter. Sometimes I think about if I hadn't known about her illness, and am pretty sure I would be filled with regrets of what I should have done or said IF I had known. It will always be a blessing, a true gift, for me to have known. Thanks, Lindsey. I could talk about my mom all day long. I feel lucky to have been her daughter.

Your mom was really beautiful and I can tell she meant a lot to you. I'm sad you lost her, but glad you had that last year and that it wasn't a sudden shock. Though I don't know that either would be easier. I'm glad you shared. ♥ This is such a wonderful, heartfelt post. Your mom was really beautiful and I can tell she meant a lot to you.

I went on a tirade about school lunches last year and ended up at a MCPS meeting about school lunch. The county thinks it is quite nutritious, thank you very much, and since the kids don't eat veggies anyway, why bother?

To a new mom her quiet confidence was not only contagious, it was inspirational. She is the template for mompreneurs and there's no telling how many little tummies she has touched and spirits she has nourished. Hats off to this fantastic mom and thanks to Michele for a great article. What terrific questions! Heather single-handedly shaped the way I fed my daughter and continue to feed her today.

I would be happy if they just served a vegetable! The quality of the lunch actually looks worse than when I was a kid (and they knew a lot less about nutrition 30+ years ago). It is just sad (pathetic) that this is where we cut costs. I don't even want to start on cutting costs on education - that is another whole tirade in the making ;-) Wow – a salad bar would be spectacular! I would be happy if they just served a vegetable!
