Local mothers and those who have been inspired by a mother or mother-like figure are invited to submit a 200-500-word essay sharing their journey in motherhood.
“Motherhood cannot be contained in one single person’s story motherhood is joy and heartache, welcoming and loss, we invite all stories,” said Melinda Britton, owner of Doulas of Marquette. “Mothers play such an important role, and we want to create space for them to share a glimpse into their worlds and experiences.”

MARQUETTE –According to the National Diaper Bank Network, one in three families has difficulty affording enough diapers for their babies.
A new Marquette County community cause, Diaper Marquette County, works to increase awareness of diapering needs and collect donations of diapers and wipes for local families in need with the support of community partners.
The first drive, set for the month of April, will be held to support the Marquette County Community Baby Shower, which provides families who are expecting a new baby or have a new infant at home the opportunity to learn about community resources and receive needed baby items.
