Hello All!<br><br>
I've been lurking around the forums for quite some time now, well actually 9 months about since I became a mama to my very attached little girl. I hail from the Northwest in a major city that is home to a certain big coffee company, to which I owe my caffeine addiction but now prefer the smaller locally roasted ones. I digress. I have turned to this forum for support and answers to the constant challenges I face as a new (aka clueless) mama who is trying to follow my heart, listen to my intuition and look to nature and my child as guides to this crazy journey of parenting. I have found so much encouragement from others who are in the same trenches as me, and like I said, I should have done this a long time ago and make an appearance in hopes of forming friendships and I suppose my own online mom-tourage in which I could both receive and give whatever it is that we moms need on a daily basis to keep going. So there. I'm glad I'm finally here.<br><br>

Welcome!<br>
I know exactly what you mean about forming friendships. Even if they are "cyber" friends, there is a need for support and sharing that can be hard to find in the real world if you are parenting in an attached manner.
