When you love someone so completely, it can only be your child. Whether you birthed it or not is irrelevant to that divine love. With that deep love is a force of fierce protection and responsibility that cannot be measured either. And that is the wellspring of Mommy Power.

For me “Mommy Power” is I finding inspiration in all the moms I meet. I am truly humbled by the women I have gotten to know since becoming a mom. We all know women in our lives who well for lack of a better word just rock. They’re the go- to -gals when life or parenting has got ya down!!! They’re the ones who are there for you when you really need a good friend with a kind word or help make you laugh.

Stay-at-Home Mom * Mother of 3

I peeled open an eye and listened. It was fairly silent with only a few faint sounds of birds whistling. It was a little too early for my taste. Birds really need a snooze button or an occasional cup of coffee before heralding the dawn. All that to the side, the point is my home was quiet. Not a single child was yelling my name or moaning over any bodily need or issue. I did it. I thought; I finally did it. I woke up before all three of them. I’ve often craved the preemptive strike approach to children; however, mine have always been extremely early risers. I’ve read so many articles and life coaching books referring to day management or discipline, but for me, the fives just don’t come easily. Read more »

Administrative Professional * Mother to Be

When I think of the word power, several phases come to mind such as strength or a strong will to accomplish something. There is no doubt that it is a term with a lot of weight behind its meaning. The exact definition of power according to the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary is the ability to produce an effect. The Mommy Team asked a very important question, “How do I define mommy power?” Some might think of it as the ability to perform super human tasks for one’s children and family, but in my opinion, I think mommy power is a combination of things.

Stay-at-Home Mom * Mother of 1

My own unique definition of “Mommy Power:”

7:45 A.M.-Eyes fly open to the sound of “Momma!” being hollered energetically from baby’s room. Sigh and close eyes for another 4 ½ minutes before starting the day.

7:50-Rescue son (19 months) from side of crib where’s he stranded himself (yet again) because he’s recently decided the drop is a little too scary.

Stay-at-Home Mom * Mother of One

I read all the baby books. I watched TLC’s Baby Story over and over. I talked with my friends who were already moms. But it was really true; what they said. Nothing prepares you for being a mom and the worries that go along with it. Before I was discharged from the hospital a nurse came in to take my beautiful little girl away to perform a hearing test on her. When she came back 20 minutes later I could tell by the look on her face the results of the test were far from good. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The nurse said she failed the hearing test twice. How could this be? What does this mean? Does it mean she can’t hear at all? Read more »

Mommy Power is the fortitude to wake up every morning and face the day, knowing that as much as we cherish and protect our children, we never know what the world brings. It’s that core of faith in the universe that steps out into the unknown and says, “It will be OK.” Or at the very least, we will do our level best to ensure that it is. It’s walking the scary tightrope over the abyss, turning over every breath, word and giggle from our children as we do so. Read more »

Grateful mom gives back (source: KnoxNews.com)

We love this story about Christie Vowell, a Tennessee mother of twins. She wanted to show her gratitude towards the hospital that took care of her premature twins (born 26 weeks), so she dressed up as the Easter bunny and brought gifts to the 200 or child currently at the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. Her visit was such a success, she already has plans to bring back the bunny suit next year!

Mommy Power is the power to raise a child who is secure inside and knows he is loved no matter what, that he has potential beyond his imagination.
