Kentucky Day One - Mother the World

Today we had a great time in Bowling Green. When I return later in the week I will edit some videos. In a nutshell this was what I did. Elaine Bateman is Mrs. Kentucky and the Ambassador for MOTHER THE WORLD. Anyhow, we first met this morning at Starbucks with the two women who run RUNAWAY RABBIT. They are Gayla Warner and Laura Jones. They make these amazing products (bunny slippers, ears, flip flops...). They also give proceeds of their sales to an organization that offers adoption grants. So we discussed moving from work to motherhood back to work and how they manage that.

Next we went to Family Christian bookstore for a book signing in Bowling Green. We did not advertise so didn't have a big turn out.

Next we spontaneously visited the pregnancy center here and also got to hold twin babies (boy and girl -9 months old)..INCREDIBLE visit.

Next we met with Mary Lou Kirby 2007 Mother of the Year from Bowling Green KY....she was incredible...had so much to say and impart to us about motherhood and the different generations of women and the difficulties that we faced and face as mothers...

Tomorrow I take a trip with Cody and Elaine to APPALACHIA to look around....and get a lay of the land. It should be a fantastic visit.

Will update with video later...
