I'm baaaack. Sorry for the hiatus....the very long hiatus. As many of you can relate, being pregnant, having a baby, and being a mom of three doesn't always leave me with much free time. But, now I'm back in the swing of things (sort of) and I feel need to bring back the baby blog. There is so much pressure on parents today and we need a voice. I would like this blog to be a forum where moms  (and dads, guardians, future parents, etc) can come together and talk about parenting.
        We need a support system. We need a place where we can ask questions, voice concerns, and have a laugh, without judgement. Being a good parent is the hardest and most gratifying thing I've ever done, but I seem to face an enormous amount of judgment and pressure. Everyone has an opinion and they are more than willing to cram it down my throat. I've been judged about everything, and I mean everything, I've done as a mother. From my children's clothes, diet, sleep, hair, discipline, bath temperature,  breastfeeding feeding, attachment, vaccinations, baby development, etc., I've been told I'm doing it wrong.
        At first, I felt defeated and alone. Not now. Now I am a mother of a 15 year old boy, a 14 year old girl, a 15 month boy, and I feel victorious! I am a great mom! I make my mistakes, but I'm a great mom. Some days I go to sleep wishing I had done something different, but I  always go to sleep knowing I loved my children that day, and I learn from my mistakes. No parent is perfect; no parent has all the answers.
        So, this is what I'm doing; making a place where we can share, talk,  laugh, cry, without judgement. It's hard not to judge; I catch myself judging other parents, but I  try my best to stop and encourage them instead if possible. No more judgment! We have enough stacked against us as parents,  we need a community that uplifts us, not one that adds to the pile.
        Please, please, leave your comments, questions, suggested topics, stories, and even your pictures. This is a place for you, not just me. This is a place for us.

        Can't wait to hear from you!
