CREATIVE JUNCTION I could start a community, of my own, for mums – somewhere that mums could ask each other questions, seek advice and I could provide information, forums and sometimes have a bit of a laugh! And so The Mother Hood grew from that idea and continues to grow. It is somewhere that mums can be supported and feel empowered. It is a place where mums can be themselves and not risk being judged. We all have good days and we all have bad days but we can come together and build each other up during these times. PAGE 19 It’s somewhere to celebrate our successes – the big ones and the small ones. But more importantly it is somewhere that you will always find someone else that understands. So pop on over and join the hood – if you haven’t already!
