A true pioneer in all things mothering! Thank you for all of the information and support to mothers around the world, Peggy!

I met Peggy at a LLLInternational Conference 28 years ago and picked up a free copy of Mothering. Best thing that happened as far as my personal mothering went. Her wisdom is a monthly inspiration and I love watching her grow wiser each year. Keep on keeping it real Peggy!

Peggy has inspired thousands of parents to follow a path of natural living through Mothering Magazine and her ongoing passion and dedication. I am honored to know her, work with her, and to support her in all that she does!

Were it not for Peggy and the passing of crinkled, wrinkled publications my children’s lives and the lives of my grandchildren would be completely different. Peggy has served mothers everywhere beyond measure.

I say the cause should be parenting parenting skills and more parenting skills as well as effective communications as it relates to teen parents and helping them be the best parents as well as great role models and mending their relationships with their own moms etccc…If interested I know some really fabulous programs that with a little funding would make huge impacts in various communities with teen parents etc.
Keep on doing what you do it is great!!! -
Peggy has touched lives in most positive way over many years. I always looked forward to her inspirational editorials and articles and mysteriously ‘Mothering’ always arrived when I needed the information most. Thank you!

The only source for expecting and nursing moms who want the most informative, naturally descriptive information that the mass media doesn’t know, won’t explain, can’t touch and is too scared to write about. Mothering has no fear…and for that Peggy, we love you!

I really enjoy having an alternative viewpoint to the mainstream parenting and family issues. Her magaine is a gem of a read.

Peggy O’Mara was a lifeboat as I swam through the murky, sleepless days of early motherhood. It is not hyperbole to say she changed my life and she, with the others at Mothering Magazine, empowered me to raise my little guy OPTIMALLY!

Voted! Peggy is such an inspiration! I love reading Mothering and am sad that they don’t print the magazine anymore.
Thanks for all the articles on natural birth, breastfeeding, attachment parenting, and more throughout the years, Peggy! They have made me a better, more educated mother and I have used some of the articles as inspiration for my own blog posts about natural birth, breastfeeding, attachment parenting.

I’ve been reading Mothering Magazine since my children were young. Peggy’s poems, articles, editorials, philosophy, journalistic courage and integrity are TOPS! Every issue brings something of value, even to this seasoned grandmother. Peggy has tackled some of the most controversial parenting and ethical issues with grace, honesty, accuracy and candor. Bravo to this courageous and innovative woman!
