"  Can&amp;#039;t we all just get along? As these photos show, we certainly can. This wonderful series from Connecticut Working Moms is called &amp;quot;End the Mommy Wars.&amp;quot; It features moms coming together to embrace their differences and celebrate the shared experience of motherhood. We spoke to Michelle Noehren about the project and Connecticut Working Moms&amp;#039; Campaign for Judgement-Free Motherhood.  &amp;quot;We wanted to focus on embracing our parenting differences, so that&amp;#039;s how the idea for our Campaign for Judgement-Free Motherhood was born! The idea was (and still is) to encourage moms to let go of their judgments and feel more compassion and love for other moms,&amp;quot; Michelle tells REDBOOK.   &amp;quot;We picked the phrases in the photos based off of two things. First, we wanted to pick topics that the media tends to use to pit moms against each other. Secondly, we wanted to pick topics that our bloggers related to in order to make sure that each mom held a phrase that was true for her,&amp;quot; says Noeren.  &amp;quot;We hope that our campaign encourages moms to think a little more about judgement. There isn&amp;#039;t a single person in the world who enjoys being judged, so why do we do it to others? We can&amp;#039;t control what anyone else does\u2014the only thing we have control of is our own mind. Our simple guidance is that we can all start by simply noticing when we&amp;#039;re judging. Then, we can make a conscious choice about what to do next. We can get stuck in the negativity and separateness we feel when we&amp;#039;re judging, or we can work to let those thoughts go and remember that all moms are doing the best they can. Just because someone makes a choice or handles something differently that we would doesn&amp;#039;t mean they&amp;#039;re doing something wrong,&amp;quot; Michelle says. Hear hear!
