11/11/09 Moms in the News

Meet Stacey Herald - the world's smallest mom! Stacey is about to give birth to her THIRD child in the next 4 weeks. Stacey was told all her life she could never have children - that it would kill her. Yet here she is, working on number 3 and loving it. My favorite part of the article is when she says that kids are a "handful". I bet they are for her especially. Way to go Stacey!

A local mom - local to me at least! Meet Donna Landau - mother to Jessica and brilliant portrait artist. Donna passed on her love of art to her daughter Jessica, but Donna made sure never to limit Jessica to just portraits. Jessica studied the art of glassblowing in Hawaii and now teaches at President Obama's alma marter. Though it's not a super exciting story, it reminds us to allow our kids' creativity to flourish!

This is a fun article about how babies cry in their mother's language at just a few days old!

Finally, meet MckMama. McMama has been all over the Blogosphere and Twitter this week as her youngest son has been fighting for his life. MckMama is a mama blogger like me and like many of you. You can follow her story, but please keep her son in your prayers.

Send me any good stories you know of! I love to hear about moms in the news! Send stories to ashleybeam@gmail.com.
