This list is for skating coaches who are also mothers. It is a place where we can share how we juggle teaching and family responsibilities. This list is place we can go to for support and encouragement. Any mom who coaches skating is welcome to join.

I created this list since I'm the mother of three young children, ages 7, 4, and 19 months! This is a list where we can turn to for encouragement and support. We can talk about anything really; and sometimes we can just share.

Here's some things we might want to discuss:

1) What do you do when the baby sitter cancels and you have a busy morning or afternoon of scheduled lessons?

2) How do you get your kid to Kindergarten, and still teach before school?

3) Is it possible to breast feed and teach skating? Would you even want to pump milk in a skating rink bathroom?

4) What do you do when your child is sick?

5) How many of us are also mothers of competitive skaters? How do we juggle these two roles?

Well, I hope this gives you an idea of what this list is about. Happy Coaching and Happy Parenting!
