What is a Zen Mom?

What is Zen?  Enlightenment, mindful acceptance of the present moment. As a mom, its hard to be Zen.  Just when you think you have it down, each day brings a new challenge or new experience.  Sometimes I feel all alone, other times empowered.   Each stage brings new joys, but also questions and concerns.  I have a 10 week old and feel like I have been through a crash course on motherhood and I know it's just the beginning. Motherhood isn't easy, but I want to share this journey with you and hope you will learn from my experiences and my endless quest for information.  With so much on the internet these days it's easy to over think things and second guess yourself.  I know I have, but it's also nice to feel informed and supported.  I was planning to start this blog sooner, but as you know the first few months with a newborn can be tough.  In fact to make this work I am carrying my baby in sling right now, since it's the only place he'll sleep for his naps....for now!  So the journey continues.  The ZenMom.com is here for you to help you be enlightened, inspired and find a little laughter and peace.
