Joseph's Second Birthday

But let’s face it: Being a parent is rough! And from the very beginning, I was totally unprepared for what was coming. I refused to believe that life as I once knew it was officially over. I often wonder how many hours my mom and sister spent talking about me becoming a mom. They probably did more laughing than worrying. They would probably just say that I was being stubborn. But I was in denial, really.

Once I became a mom, I finally realized I needed help so I turned to any resource I could find. I first started off reading every parenting book I could get my hands on. But I never found the books all that helpful. And I know plenty of other moms who feel the same way.

Several parents have shared their tips and advice with me, and along the way, I’ve even developed a few tricks of my own. And that’s one of the reasons I started this blog. The best advice I’ve ever received about raising Joseph came from other parents. So I wanted to create a place for all of us to share these tips, ideas, rants (I’ll have plenty of those), and wisdom — and hopefully a few laughs along the way, too.

Another reason I developed this website is for a school project at George Washington University, so please forgive me while I tinker around with themes and new content. It’s all in the name of learning! Please leave comments and suggestions about how I can improve the site. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
