Perhaps your life is perfect or near perfect, in which case I need to take some pointers from you, but I must admit that the last 19 years of my life have been very challenging for me, to say the least.
In February 1987, I married my college sweetheart; in August 1990 I gave birth to my daughter and in November 12, 1997 we welcomed our son into our family.
These have been some of the major events in my life and I will not even attempt to enumerate the smaller events that have occurred that have also been very challenging, energy consuming, time consuming, stressful, and yes happy.
There have been three things that have really helped me survive the past 20+ years:
My personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, A very supportive family and Friends that the Lord has brought into my life.
The idea for this website was a result of my conversations with friends, acquaintances, and total strangers who I have found share many of the same experiences that I have being a wife and mother.
I don't profess to have all the answers or for that matter, any of the answers to life's dilemma's, I just wanted this newsletter to be a vehicle that could encourage, inspire and provide information for other Mom's who are trying to navigate through this incredible maze called "Motherhood".
I decided on the name A MOTHER's WIT as a tribute to our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers who did excellent jobs raising children without the benefit of books, magazines, or videotapes showing them "how it should be done".
They instead used "reasoning power, intelligence, a mental soundness, resourcefulness, ingenuity" or "mother wit" and I think that most of us have turned out okay and could probably stand to use some of that same "mother wit" in our families.
