I think these questions are great for writers to spark their creative juices, but the questions are also helpful for mamas who, like me, are trying to reconnect with themselves. It's easy to get a bit lost in MommyLand.
So here are your questions! I'd be happy to read any of your answers if you wish to post them in the comments, but you may wish to just keep your answers to yourself!
