Please take time to get to know these awesome moms and if you get a chance take a look at their blogs! I am so excited to learn from each other each month and to celebrate motherhood with the photos we take! 
*On a side note we do not all share the same views or beliefs so please use your own discretion as you bounce from blog to blog! My views are my own and each mom's views are her own!*

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Enjoy these beauties!
    Hi I'm Amber. Momma to the sweetest almost two year old boy, Micah. We are excitedly expecting our second little bundle to join us this July. Read more about Amber and her growing family at amberenns.blogspot.ca

Hi I'm Alex. I am a fairly crunchy mom. I support extended breastfeeding [although I couldn't do it myself], co-sleeping, baby wearing, and the list goes on. I am back at work at a stationery store working as a stationery sales rep part time as well as a store clerk. I miss my baby and try to spend as much time with her as I can. 
My baby's name is Saeryn. It means 'Stars' in Gaelic. She's so outgoing, and full of life, but definitely has an attitude. She is 15 months old, and I can't even understand how that went so fast. I don't even remember holding her as a new born!! Nice to meet you!! :)

    My name is Sara Enns. After many years of praying and waiting God has blessed me with a very precious boy! We named him Lewis. Words simply won't do when I try to explain how much love I have for him!

    I'm Heather, wife to Tim, mom to Braden (2 1/2) and Cole (1)! I'm a stay at home mom, and Tim is the youth pastor at our Church. I love being at home with our wild and hilarious boys! They make me laugh daily, and we have a lot of fun together! I enjoy playing piano, crafting, going for coffee, and watching cooking shows, Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife!

    I'm Rebekah Bergen, wife to the handsome Michael, and momma to the equally as handsome Canaan. As a family were involved in ministry full time with One Hope Canada, working at Valley View Bible Camp. I love working alongside my husband, baking, writing, being behind the camera and spending time taking care of my little man! You can read more about Rebakah here: Hope From the Valley

    Some may mistake me as a bedhead-wearing, yarn-bearing, camera-swinging, photo-taking, cake-baking, home-making, fiction of a woman, but I will tell you what I really am: a bumbling, messy, and emotional mom of three and a recipient of Divine Grace. I’ve got four souls along for this unpredictable and unfathomable ride: Joey, my anchor of a husband; Judah, my serious boy; Benjamin, my firecracker; and Lydia, my giver of unending affection. You can call me Andrea, and you can find me at http://onthislongroad.blogspot.ca.

    I am Sabrina, a first time mother with a 4 month old daughter born November 7th. I decided to    breastfeed, and even though it was huge to adjust to, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. My husband and I love our new little family!

Hello! My name is Brooke Simonson. I am a stay-at-home mother to a five month old baby boy, named Paylen. I strive to be the best mom I can be, even though motherhood is difficult at times. I'm excited to meet other new moms to inspire me! 
Find me on Instagram: @brookesimonson

My name is Stephanie and this is my blog The Lovely Wild. I am momma to Wilder and best friend to Darryl. I love going outside, camping, thrifting, traveling, drinking lattes and taking photos. I love meeting new people so if you are a new reader to this blog please leave a comment or send me an email to say hey!

So lately I have read a lot about motherhood and how much competition there is in this circle. This comparing or competition starts when you are pregnant-"Oh you drink a little bit of coffee? Not me I believe any at all is harmful to my baby" to labour "Drug free is the only way to go" to when the baby is actually here. I think we all know what I am talking about in that department. Breastfed or formula fed-cloth diapers or disposable diapers- and the list goes on and on! Yes we can weigh the pro's and con's to each and every statement but what we need to focus on is our baby and what is best for him/her. It makes me so sad when mothers put down other mothers because it should totally be the opposite! We should encourage each other and empower each other to keep on mothering our children the best way that works for us! There are so many different personalities that I don't even understand how we could all do this "motherhood" thing the same way! This brings me to a project that I have wanted to start for a couple months now and I'm calling it "My Motherhood". There are similar projects online but this one is a bit different and maybe a little more accessible. I find myself wondering how other mom's do certain things. How do other mom's shower when they have a little one that constantly needs them? Silly I know but this is honestly something I wonder about! I also have had friends with little ones ask me how I do certain things or what I do for myself to stay involved in my hobbies. I thought of starting this project to show case different woman on the same journey of motherhood and to maybe learn from each other. I have 6 moms already signed up for this project!! It will be once a month and I will be emailing out a question and you can email me back within the time frame a photo that answers that question for you right now, in your journey. It will be fun to see what we all come up with! This is an open invitation if you are a mom interested in photography and would like to be apart of something creative!

You do not need to be the best photographer in the world. Lets stop this competition and celebrate motherhood together!

I hope to hear from you soon!!!
