Mothers give body hugs with their hearts     

If you have a child, you are a family

Mothers hold in their hearts

what grows too big for their arms

 It's been a while since I've had time to update the site, but I wanted you to know about a great ebook that's only $7! It's called How to Create a Super Baby and no, it won't teach your young'un to fly or lift pickup trucks or leap higher than the tallest building. What it will do is tell about the vital things you MUST do in your child's first year of life. Just click here to learn more. Remember, this is an ebook and it's only $7. What a deal. Did I mention that this is only $7!!!

Thanks for your patience. After living in the same house for 18+ years, we recently moved to a tiny beach resort with a year-round population of maybe 5000 people. And our only child graduated from high school. And headed off to college. And, after one year there decided not to return to college so he's living on his own across the state from us. We're empty nesters, which makes these "thoughts" even more poignant for me.  But, I'm still around and craving your input now more than ever.

Hello and welcome to Mom Thoughts.

What, you are probably asking yourself, is Mom Thoughts all about?

Well take your hands off that mouse for a minute and I'll tell you.

A "Mom Thought" is a little saying that captures the essence of Mom (like the ones up above and down below).

Our products incorporate Mom Thoughts so you can give a "thought" or a collection of "thoughts" to yourself, your mom or someone you know who is a mom or is about to become a mom.

I hope you will visit Mom Thoughts often and "talk" to me. Who am I? A Mom who put her thoughts down on paper (and on mugs and magnets and key chains and other stuff). You can learn more about me and how Mom Thoughts got started by clicking the ABOUT US button.

Each month I try to include a list of interesting dates so you can mark your (preferably Mom Thoughts) calendar. The Mom Thoughts calendars and planners include dates like these as well as some real off-the-wall dates. Click here to see the events for September and October.

Each of the buttons in the menu (top left) will take you to a page that (I hope) will have information you can use or products you can't live without.

The links on the left under the menu are to interesting places I think you might like. There are other links on the various LINKS pages, and I'll be sticking in more links every which way--hopefully they'll all be interesting to you. If you know of any links I SHOULD be including, please let me know.

I'm also a writer so be sure to check out the Books and Articles pages as I post information about things I've written. Once in a while, I might even post a whole article or a book excerpt for FREE!

The link at the bottom of the menu (for Life-Saving Defibrillators) takes you to another of my sites, www.DontDropDead.com. If you're young, you probably think going to that site would be a waste of your time and even more, buying a defibrillator would be a waste of your money. Do you have air bags in your car? Fire extinguishers in your home and car? Insurance? A defibrillator is just one more life-saving device that belongs in every home and every business. Go to the site for some interesting statistics about who needs defibrillators. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Bottom line? This is a site for Moms. Our links take you to places that have great information, ideas or products.

MOST IMPORTANT--I want to hear from you. Let me know what you think.

Some Sample "Thoughts"

• Mothers give body hugs with their hearts
• Mothers hold in their hearts what grows too big for their arms
• A Mother never stops being "with child"
• Children inhabit our bodies for only a moment; our lives, forever
• Sticky fingers never really come unstuck; even when they're clean, they still stick to your heart
• When you're a Mother, you can't afford to close your eyes -- if you do, your children grow up before you can open them again
• A Mother is someone who has become the person she used to avoid -- in malls, on airplanes, in restaurants
• Having children is like fishing in a pond of love
• Mothers don't drive cars -- they wear them
• Children don't make mistakes; they learn lessons
• Being a Mother is forever -- thank goodness

NOTE: The three "thoughts" above in bold are available on T-shirts and Sweatshirts. Some of the others are on various products. All are available in the card packs, weekly planners and wall calendars.
