Busy busy busy

I am soo tired! I am busy realising a blog for my website, and there is so much work involved when you have no staff to help. Everything is done by me with help of my dh, writing articles, research, hosting the forum, writing recipes, answering emails, designing and advertising.

A few years ago I had cousins, and girlfriends calling me at all hours of the day asking me how to apply for studentloans, student gifts, daycare, how to keep their home and how to raise their babies. I was the first of them to have gone through all of that since I had my first son at 20 years old. After 1 yr recovery period in and out of the hospital after my c-section, I picked up my study and worked 40-60 hours a week in order to be able to pay for my education, dh his education and the lil one his daycare.
I decided to make an msn-group in wich I could post all the tips and tricks for my cousins and girlfriends. This way they could access the information at any time and I could get some sleep LOL After a few months the group had more members than I had friends and cousins, other people had found their way to the group. This was not what it was intended for because now there where other women who wanted advice and started posting questions on how to do things and where to go in their town for help. I decided to make a website and did months and months of research because I did not want to provide anyone wrong information. The website is now 2 yrs old and we have about 6000 visitors a month, the next logical step for me was making a blog in order to inspire women and mothers to talk to each other and learn from each other. The website is neutral there is no religious talk on it, I live in a country that was famous worldwide for it's tolerance. In the 16 years I have lived here I was witness of how this country was influenced by the rest of the world, people becoming more and more intolerent of diversity of our small society. What a beautiful society it was! I hope that this blog will help me unite mothers of all creeds and walks of life to start talking to each other again and to realise once again that we are all the same and we all want the same a healthy, loving, tolerant society that is blind to race and faith to raise our youth.

So yes I am busy and I hope that soon all mothers in the netherlands can benefit from the fruits of my labour. That one thought is the thing that keeps me going well that an coffee ;-)

I know that most women help other women in their circle I encourage you to step out of your circle and reach a hand to a women of different race or creed. How beautiful would the world be if we were all FREE?
