Readers regularly ask me for lists of local professionals and resources. While scouring the Web for helpful family resources in Kwa-Zulu Natal I came upon an inspiring, innovative enterprise for Mothers at http://www.MomsMatter.co.za. Go there. Moms, dads, grandparents, teachers, and mental health practitioners, sign up. It’s free! Get the newsletter. Join the community. I believe you will be inspired by the warm welcome and the array of attractive things available for mothers AND fathers AND families right on your doorstep.

The website, initiated and facilitated by Deborah Andrews, is doing its job of connecting mothers with opportunities, mothers with each other, and tries to make life a little easier for all in the midst of rearing children of all ages.

Writes Deborah: “It may be a kid’s world ‘out there’ but Moms Matter too! We strive to provide access to resources that can help make your lives a little easier with heaps of stuff you need to know all in one place.” The site includes a comprehensive holiday activity guide for the mid-year break with tons of suggestions of things for families and children to do. It’s a website created by a Mom for Moms who sees that “we’re all in this mommy-thing together!”
