Musings of a Mentoring Mom. Getting Ready to Put on the Warrior Mom Cape, Again. Diams; January 18, 2013. Diams; 2 Comments. We’ve all donned our Warrior Mom capes when it comes to our children. Fighting for what they need at school, calling out the bullies at the neighborhood pool, calling the Services Squadron commander when the summer camp program let my daughter crisp fry to a crackly crunch at the beach, telling the doctor that they won’t get that flu shot.

https://musingsofamentoringmom.wordpress.com/about
Musings of a Mentoring Mom. If you had told me six years ago what my journey would be, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I was an officer in the Air Force Reserve doing quite well. Sometimes I really miss the work I was doing there. In 2006, my son was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
