Starting Somewhere

I truly believe that becoming a parent is the most amazing job there is. Nothing takes more work, more dedication and more unconditional love.... but as we child rearing folks also know, nothing satisfies the soul more either!!

I titled this "Starting Somewhere" because that's what we do as parents. Every morning we wake up (most of us unrested from the night before) and we start from this place called "somewhere".... not really knowing where this is we muster up the courage to raise up these little humans into the best people we can imagine.... hoping that "somewhere" pays off and we produce someone that will love the earth and want to do good in life.

The beauty about being a parent is we get to acquire all kinds of wisdom from others and then regurgitate it and turn it into our own parenting style. Our "somewhere" becomes a unique way that does change the world eventually whether we like it or not.

And that's why I started this blog.... because after reading dozens of books, watching my amazing friends raise up their babies and me making mistake after mistake (we're good at that aren't we??), I wanted to share the struggles and accomplishments with all of you.

So I'm thinking everyday I'll let you know what's going on on my home front. I'd love to get comments back too about what YOUR going through!!

My son Given has amazed me over and over again (like I'm SURE your lil angel has to you) and I've seen how little things I've learned along the way can REALLY make a difference.

So let's share and have fun and celebrate the blessing of being a parent!!
