From Mamas to Mammas

We have been getting together now for just over a month. Did any of us imagine that it would turn into this? We have a name, an email address, a website and most importantly a Purpose! This blog will be used to keep the information flowing. It's a great way of sharing what's been going on in and after our meetings. Why has the spelling changed? So as you may know, I volunteered to be the webmistress of this site. I have my own blog Stoneridge Gal so I have some experience, what little it did to help in this case. During our last meeting we agreed to use "Mamas On A Mission" for our name. Note Mamas only has one 'm'. I wanted to use this spelling to be different. So I started by establishing our email address, mamas with one m. Next I started to set up the blog. When I entered our name I got "This name is not available." I thought, "No Way! There has to be a mistake. Who else could have stolen our name!" So I checked it out for myself. And I'll be damned, there it was. Another group of ladies already had our name. Mamas on a Mission: "Our desire, which has become our mission, is to work with the Oregon Zoo to create a room that is solely designated for breastfeeding moms with their children. This space would allow moms: a place in which they can ensure that their children will effectively nurse; where other children are safe while mom is nursing; where mom and baby are not exposed in inclement weather; where breastfeeding moms who need to pump can safely go; and where women can relax in private should they desire the option." Actually, I thought this hysterical considering the fact that 99% of our group is well beyond our breast feeding days. So as of today, shout it out from the hilltops we are Mammas On A Mission. TWO "M"s if you please. Our official email address is mammasonamission@gmail.com if you want to submit information or have any questions.
