I am the proud mother of a beautiful little girl, Kaylee, who is barely over a year old now. I keep a separate blog of her development reserved for close friends and family, but wanted to begin another blog as an outlet for myself, and one that might prove helpful to fellow mothers/parents who may worry, like me, that their kids will grow up calling them 'smother' instead of mother.
As with many parents out there, I try my best to soak up information that can help me be the best parent to my child. This has led me on a journey of information gathering. I subscribe to multiple parenting websites, fellow parents' blogs, and have even gone 'oldschool' and subscribed to a magazine. All of which have been helpful, albeit slightly overwhelming. Many times, I get advice from one source only to discover that it is contradicted by another source... frustrating, to say the least.
As a result, I have concluded that the so-called 'experts' while incredibly well-educated and backed by (I hope) countless hours of research, are no expert on my daughter, Kaylee. I am the expert on my own child. So, while I have created this blog as a way to vent about the monumental number of opinions out there on raising children, if you're reading this to get advice, my humble opinion should really only be taken with a grain of salt. What has worked and is working for Kaylee, might not be the best for anyone else's child.
Ultimately, my hope for anyone reading this, is that this blog will provide some good-natured, anecdotal comedy, a little commiseration, and maybe some helpful hints along the way.
