I found TheMotherhood a couple of years ago by accident and I love this site!  It is just for Mom's supporting Mom's in the most important job in the world...MOTHERHOOD!  Being the Mom of five children, three of which are adopted, this is a subject very close to my heart.  Also, having one child that has been sooo hard to raise with many very hard and down times, TheMotherHood has been there for me to spill my joys and heartbreaks.  I know, some people say that it is weird sharing your soul with an internet friend you have never met in person.  But, not so...there are times when I need to write my thoughts just to see what my thoughts are... and I needed to share them with someone who would care with out a bias one way or another.  The Mothers on this web site have been there for me and through them I have gotten some much needed support and prayers....real help in my time of need.  They shared ideas, and points of view I needed to look at as well as experiences from their past and part of the world!  So, having these internet Mom's friendship has been a real eye opener!  Just like their mission to help Mom's around the world with ONECampaign!  Love these ladies, friends, Mothers!!!

Here is the description of ONE Week from the ONE website:

"African women are leading a movement. They are the driving force behind Africa's economy, and mothers in particular have an enormous impact on the future of Africa. ONE Week is a weeklong social media event following 10 bloggers making their way through Kenya with ONE from July 23rd-30th to see what life is really like for moms in the developing world. We know not everyone can go to Africa, but through daily email updates straight from these moms, daily actions tied to their trips and access to experts who can explain the key issues these women will see firsthand, you can follow their journey and share this information with your community - for ONE week. Together we can shine a spotlight on the success and challenges that accompany the fight to end extreme poverty and preventable disease around the world. Get educated, engaged, and activated. Use your voice on behalf of the world's poorest. It just takes ONE mom."

It Just takes ONE mom....
