[VABS] Blind Kick Ass Mamas: All Are Welcome

Sat May 20 21:12:25 UTC 2023

Hi, 
Sounds like a great event. 
I think I could come that early to register. I hope its okay to see some of the meeting and then come back later. That is because I have a technology webinar to attend  at 7:00 but probably could return toward the end of the event. This sounds so cool where experienced mothers share tips and  tricks.

I hope others can attend too even as students. Its not too early to think about whether you want to be a mom or just be into childcare using some of the mothering parenting techniques.
I'm not actually a  student in the regular sense taking classes although I do have a BA degree from Marymount University.
I feel like a student as I'm always learning!
I plan to take writing classes though through a community nonprofit and I also enjoy learning through the free 
Lecture series called Great Courses which you can get through a public library.

Anyone  know if any of the event is recorded? I hope so as I believe it’s a good thing to have this taped where mothers share answers to other questions potential parents or parents themselves have.

Take care.
Ashley
