I crave information, so when my daughter was days old I started trying to connect with people who could share any and all parenting info, and what better place than the Internet, right?
What I found was interesting and at times appalling. I found a lot of bickering. My way is right, your way is wrong kind of stuff. The more I searched, I did land in some peaceful communities and have created some relationships with people who I respect and go to when I’m lost.
I feel called to share my life experience somehow. I love writing. Love it. My primary job is not writing, but writing is a release for me. I can’t imagine my life without pursuing it. Before March of last year, I hadn’t written more than journaling for a long while. It was time. So, I set out to create a place where I, and other parents could just be real. I didn’t have much other than the idea that I wanted to offer a safe place for parents to share their experience in a peaceful way and receive support.
I don’t categorize myself with the funny parenting pages/blogs because I don’t want that pressure. I’m not always funny. I’m not a breastfeeding page, because although I’m extremely passionate about it, and I just celebrated 18 months of nursing my baby girl, it’s not all I’m passionate about. We are an attachment/intuitive parenting family, but if you’re not, that’s ok, you’re welcome here.
I welcome parents/friends of parents of all kinds, and I reserve the right to be real. Funny sometimes, sometimes emotional. Informative sometimes and other times totally clueless.
My goal this year is to grow my writing in a way that is lucrative and allows me to further support my family. I hope to be at home with my family more than I am able to be at the time. I have no idea how this looks, but I’ve been taught that goals and dreams are meant be followed and shared. I’m putting it out there. Whew, yep it’s out there now. Scary and exciting! 
These guys are my motivation. Can you blame me? 😉
I’ve learned offering and receiving support, and sharing experience with other parents is essential. Thank you for sharing with me. I thank you for allowing me to share mine with you, in the most real, peaceful way I know how. I hope you are able to find support here away from all of the mommy war junk that goes out there. I’m amazed with how this community and the blog have grown. My hope for it is that it continues to grow. It is peaceful and supportive and I’m grateful.
Blessings to you in the New Year and always!
