I don’t know about you, but I found the transition into motherhood to be a bit more challenging than I had expected it to be and wished I had a mentor mom nearby to help me as I grew into becoming a mom. And still, even as my children grow, I love to hear stories from moms who have been there so that I can learn from their experience.
I think much of the wisdom from the moms who came before us is being lost. And I want to capture that to be shared with our generation and generations to come.
Around Mother’s Day I’ll be launching Real (Experienced) Moms, a weekly feature that will let all of us learn from the moms who have come before us and have raised children who are now grown. We will hear stories from moms and grandmothers, regular ladies just like you and me, and the lessons they have learned, the mistakes they made and the victories they have celebrated.
If you are a mom of with children at least 20 years of age, and would be willing to share your stories, I would love to hear from you.
And if you are a mom in the trenches, rearing newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children and/or teenagers, I’d love to hear from you, too. I know what I want to know, but I am curious to hear what you would like to know and what you might ask a mentor mom who has ‘been there.’
Please contact me either if you are a Real (Experienced) Mom with stories to share or if you are a mom seeking that wisdom and experience. I’m looking for moms to interview and for the questions you want answered. Please fill me in on your perspective.

I’d like to hear about schooling choices and what benefits/downsides they found and how it all has worked out for their children now that they’re grown up.

Also, how to teach the dramatic 8 year old how to keep her emotions under control. I know that she is growing and changing, but she’s just too old for tantrums. I was never this sort of kid, and I’m not sure how to help her.

I’d like to see photos of playrooms and how other people store toys in a way that helps kids learn to not store all their toys on the floor.
I’d like to hear suggestions on parenting the child who loves routine and schedules and no change…when both parents are not lovers or routine. In other words, she’s a square child with two free form parents. :)
