Just wanted to follow up on the earlier post about the Mothers' Conference that I helped to plan: it was very successful! We had about 90 women in attendance. Jessica and I felt calm and collected the day of, and everything went quite smoothly. (A couple little hiccups, but nothing major.) We were even able to enjoy and benefit from the content of the conference ourselves. We've received feedback from over half of the attendees, and the feedback and comments are overwhelmingly favorable toward the event and its various components. We are planning to do it again next year!
You can read two articles that ran in our local Catholic paper here:
Here is the article that appeared after the conference (we had our picture in!)

Congratulations Sarah, on such a successful conference! It sounds like it was very helpful for the moms who attended. Supporting mothers and giving motherhood the respect that it deserves sounds like a great idea to me!
