“I will tell you what I can’t abide–and I think the Internet has really created a space for it–women criticizing other women and mothers criticizing other mothers. It just makes me crazy, whether it’s between staying at home, going to work, how long you breast-feed, if you use formula. I feel like we should just assume everyone is going the best they can. Women should take care of each other, not tear each other down.”

– Jennifer Garner (2010)

Amen Jennifer – I couldn’t have said it better! And BTW – this quote sums up the culture of MariaMedia – women celebrating and supporting each other!
