No matter how much you read, you will never ever ever ever be 100 percent prepared for becoming a parent. It's all about trial and error. And after much of that, I've found that certain approaches do and do not work for our family. Below you'll find a list of posts that I have written describing our experiences. I hope that some of my rambling will help other new mommas and mommas-to-be. You can always contact me with questions or concerns.
