When the Fantasy of Motherhood Meets the Reality

We are two sisters with five children between us
So much of the reality of being a mother in our culture has not matched what we expected -
for better and worse. We want to share our story, and our experiences with pregnancy and parenting
with you, and we hope you will share yours with us. Please contact us by email at info@bubblebursts.com

“I (Beth) was a stay at home mother of three children ages five, two and six months. I am now divorced and work two full time jobs…mother and worker.”



" I (Pam) am the working mother of two children, ages five and three. I am the older sister by 21 months. I have been married for seven years to my husband, Brian.”


HOW YOU WANT PEOPLE TO
SEE IT!
HOW IT REALLY IS!!!!!
Blurry and all!
Our experience with pregnancy and parenting has taught us that we were two un-informed and misinformed women. Pam was clinically diagnosed with Postpartum Depression after giving birth to her son, and offers a real-life look into the roller coaster of feelings and emotions one suffers with PPD.

Beth’s experience has been the epitome of the disconnect between the fantasy of all women about what pregnancy and parenting should be versus reality. From extreme weight gains, and all of the pregnancy “ailments”, to emergency c-sections, to an unsettling future as a single mother with three small children, Beth has been through it all.

We have authored editorial columns on the subject of pregnancy and parenting that have been published in three newspapers throughout the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area (click here to read them).

We have spoken at numerous support groups, and other public forums,(click to listen)
and appeared on local ABC-affiliate KATU’s “A.M. Northwest” news magazine show with the author of “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”, the most popular book series on the subject of parenting and pregnancy. (click to view)
Do you have a story to share? (We are always looking for ideas for our book and columns)
