Introduction

The price of parenthood has no face value. There is no exact science, & no limitations. The goal is to create a well-adjusted human being. Instructions are not included in the package and the end result is monumental. Your child's future personality (in my opinion) is directly correlated to the person you have become. Whoever you were raised by (whether it be mom, dad, both parents, grandparents, foster parents, adoptive parents, etc.) molds who your children will be. Of course this has nature vs. nurture written all over it, but I'm not here to start an Internet war. I'm here to share with you my insight on creating people.

Most people have their guidelines to becoming the "perfect parent". I'm really happy that they have everything figured out. I'm impressed, really. I am still learning, and while I admit that when I was a brand spankin' new parent, I had my opinions on how my friends raised their children (approval/disgust) now that I'm more weathered, or maybe it's simply apathy, I have realized that different things work for different people. What I do with my children has no baring on what you do with yours because I am myself. I am not you, you are not me, and that is okay.

I am starting this blog because I used to write like crazy. Since becoming a stay at home mom, I haven't exactly had much luck thinking of things to write about, so I let my favorite pastime slip through my fingers. I am bringing it back. I'm just hoping I can keep it up. Writing is my outlet & while most of the posts will be about adventures in creating my little people, there is more to me than meets the eye.
