But you're so right friend, this (not Greys Anaomy) is what we are made for. Love this.

Female friendships are invaluable in my view, and obviously, in yours. I also want to say, as a mom who has always worked outside the home, that I value friends who are following that path, but also ones who have not. Sometimes I think we shy away from one another, like we couldn't possibly have anything to talk about. But that's not true. We all have kids. Thanks so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554995409403840241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288953154481114093.post-33867776751779422702015-09-23T09:37:18.375-07:002015-09-23T09:37:18.375-07:00I made friends with some neighbor moms when my kid...I made friends with some neighbor moms when my kids were young that sustain me to this day, some 20 years later. Fellow moms understand the struggles we all go through and we can provide support to each other as our kids grow and change.
