When I look back on the days when I was either nursing or carrying my children constantly, I remember two things: The way Mr. Chattering would rush home to help me (since he’s generally worked in offices and I’ve mostly worked from home), and the life-saving humor of my women’s group–mothers I’d met at the playground who then gathered in homes, for three hours every other week.

The website HolisticMoms.com is a virtual group and meeting place that publishes a good newsletter and helps women interested in holistic childrearing practices find like-minded pals. Take a glance at their frequently-asked question page to get a better feel for this helpful group!
