bonus

Was the Proverbs 31 wife an entrepreneur? Rev Fisk and Meridith give some encouragement to a mom who is wondering whether it is a good trade off to work when her babies are little.

Meridith shows why we love her! While mommy bloggers will claim that you can have it all and suppress all that "mom guilt", the dissonance between what women are told they should want and what they were made for is leading to a lot of loneliness and distress.
