The Community for Catholic Moms

Has your "Mommy Monster" gotten the best of you this week?

Today at "Readin' and Ramblin' Moms" I posted a mini-quiz about the seven deadly sins of motherhood based on my book "Raising Up Mommy."

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours ... let's pray one another through the rough patches!

The best defense: deep breathing, regular time-outs, and lots of hugs even when I least feel like giving them! (Oh, and someone once told me that the best way to get a kid's attention is not to yell, but to whisper.)
