Modern Mommies discussion

Welcome to my group, I'm Santina...I have an 7 year old daughter who I hope will develop the same love for reading I have.

I have to keep adding comments or this will look like a dead group, and no one will want to join. I guess a 1 member group is pretty dead, but my hope is that eventually a good number of women will be here chatting.

Still need members...lol

Hello my name is Mona and I am a mother of 3. I have a 5 and half year old daughter, a 4 year old son, and a 19 month old daughter... Somehow I still make time to read because I love it!

Looking forward to chatting soon. :)

Thanks!

Hi LittleSaintina
Thought I'd lend a little support for a fellow canadian starting a group,there's so few of them for adults.I'm Sherry and am a mom of adult children the oldest being 28 in less than a month and the youngest 17.Being a mom has been the very best thing in my life and even though they are all grown and things have changed quite a bit we're still close and connect a lot.There is still parenting involved though it only consists of advice and insight(but only when it's asked for)

We never fully out grow being our mother's child do we?

Great idea for a group,I hope it takes off for you.Have you been sending out invites?There are a lot of moms on the Ultimate Reading List that I'm sure would be interested.

LittleSaintina,is it alright to post topics?I was thinking a good topic might be parenting books that we appreciated and were helpful.

Hi ladies,
I am the mom of 3 beautiful children. Our son is 10 yrs old, and we have 2 girls, 5 yrs and just turned 2!! My oldest loves reading, but usually sticks to non-fiction, our middle daughter has started reading in the past 6 months and just cannot get enough of it. It is soooo exciting to see her soaking it all up...and she isn't afraid of challenges, she wants to be able to read EVERYTHING!!! Gotta love it!

Welcome everyone, thanks for joining. I agree Sherry, it's difficult to find groups for adults. I'm actually a member of the ultimate reading list, but I didn't think to send out an invite I hate to advertise in other groups I thought it might take away from them.

Everyone please start any topic you like.

Hello, my name is Shea. I am the mother of two boys (8 and 5). I work full-time as a pharmacist and my husband is a stay-at-home Dad. I volunteer a lot with my children's schools but when I have a little time for me I love to read, scrapbook, and if I ever get the remote control watch a chick flick.

Hi Shea...What you do it you buy a universal remote and you keep it hidden...lol.

Suzanne, that's great your kids love to read, I wouldn't worry about your oldest sticking to non fiction, all long as they're reading. I won't let me daughter watch this show zoe 101, but I told her she could read the books, she was so excited when I told her that. I hope it works, she's a kid that wants tv over books, so I'm trying very hard to knock that bad habit.

Hi I'm new to Goodreads..just found it the other day and now I'm just trying to see what it has to offer and found your group.

I'm Rhonda, married to Dave for 20 years and we have two teenage kids. My son 18 just graduated from High School and our daughter with be 16 in July. They do keep me busy so if you think your little ones keep you busy..just wait till they become teenagers...LOL

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

Welcome Rhonda...and please don't tease I'm already dreading the teenage years and mine isn't even 8 yet.

Hi Rhonda,my youngest just graduated this year as well,it's a wonderful achievement for them and for us for helping them get there.It's pretty challenging these days as so many kids are dropping out.

I'm sure it won't be long until you find yourself addicted to Good Reads.It's a very common experience!

Thanks for the nice Welcome! I just think today it's a lot of work raising teens. You have to work at it every day. The most important thing is keeping the line of communication open all the time..know where your kids are and who they're hanging out with.

Congrats to your grad too! It's such a wonderful time and a very proud one too.

Hi Santina.
I'm guessing this thread is old but i've just recently heard of goodreads and found this group. My name is Caprice and i'm a young mommy to two boys!

Welcome Caprice! Happy Mother's Day. I also have two boys 9 and 6.

Same to you Shea! My boys are 3 and 1.

Hello my name is Brandy. I have a little 3 year old girl who has my love for reading too.

Hello all! I am new to this site. I am a mother to 3 kids 10,8,6 . I recently got back in to reading and loving every minute. I am going to be homeschooling my kids next year so I am looking forward to all the reviews for them and me.

Welcome Belise, Mrs. Alvarado, and Jennifer. I hope you enjoy our group!
