I have a 2 1/2 month old, and am taking the year off from my job. I recently was asked to undertake a weekly write-up of Parliament Hill happenings for the status report project (http://www.statusreport.ca - a site that is bringing women together to fight the recent cuts at Status of Women Canada - if you haven't visited the site - go there now!) but have come to realise that it's impossible at this point in my life. I'm lucky if I can read the paper each day, let alone follow committee minutes, Question Period antics, debates in the House, etc, and write about it. Ain't gonna happen. And I'm really torn about this . . but every little bit helps, right?Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243993806629869809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-58177168744813376422006-11-22T20:40:00.000-08:002006-11-22T20:40:00.000-08:00A little reminder of the great cause Metro Mama pu...A little reminder of the great cause Metro Mama put out there in th HBM list.

When my girls ask me why I gave, I explain as best I can. For the longest time, our family was not in the position to give. Now we are exploring a couple of charities and sponsorships that are best suited to us. (Street Kids International, Stephen Lewis, Feed the Children). As well, I have convinced our families to give to charities for Xmas as opposed to gifts. I believe that there is so much we can give, even if we do not have spare change, with a kind word, and a recognition.crazymummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663148723513574331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36351539.post-2847006776448033532006-11-20T17:10:00.000-08:002006-11-20T17:10:00.000-08:00Your so right about how different and "primal" our...Your so right about how different and "primal" our concern for the world is now that we have children.
