I recently went to an alternative to the Book Club. I went to a Movie Club!!!! It was great just a bunch of friends getting together and watching a movie. After we all talked about the film and what we did and did not enjoy! I left feeling happy and connected but with out the burden of having to make time to read a book I really was not interested in.

I would really like to start doing some volunteer work but I do not know where to start. Is there a list on the web of volunteer organizations that need help. I would really like to find an organization that needs help that is close to my heart and house but I am new the the neighborhood and really don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

O.K. this is going to seem a little silly but is it appropriate to return fruit to the store? Yesterday  I bought one of those clamshell containers full of strawberries. Those berries looked just beautiful peeking through the plastic container, red, yummy, little berry reminders of summer!

I remember my Mom saying "money does not grow on trees" and all the other annoying sentences she would come up with to block my requests for things (I thought I needed) but this is ridiculous!!! If my daughter does not get a pair of $200.00 jeans she will become a social out cast.

Yesterday I spent the whole day down town with my kids. All we really did was wonder around but it was amazing! Too bad that we can not harvest the energy and mood of all the people because I am sure we could light most of the houses in Vancouver with it!! My kids had a ball and we met people from all over the world.

Last night I had the great honor of attending the Olympic Opening Ceremony!

There are any amazing number of ways to get in on the spirit of the Olympics in Vancouver that are absolutely FREE.

Not in the city proper, don't worry there is excitement beyond the bridges!

Am I a coward if I think he is cheating on me but I don't ask?

I received this email and I thought it was really reflective of what my name is mom.com is trying to do by making a place for women to share the journey of Motherhood. If you enjoy this advice as much as I did tell your friends about this site or even just send them the link.
