A New Idea

So many things have changed in my life in the last few months.  Because of this, you all will notice some differences in my writing style too.  My babies are no longer babies.  Since the last time we talked, Peanut has become a toddler!  And Little Man is now a little boy.  My world is constantly changing, which will reflect here too.

So, I thought that I would try something new and hopefully fun.  I would like to implement a "Feedback Friday".  This is where I call out to all of you for a little help.  I am always getting some great questions and I participate in some online forums where Moms go for advice and camaraderie.  I would love to take every Friday to interact like that with all of you.

What I am asking is if you have a question about anything relating to kids, toys, baby gear, cloth diapers, birthday party ideas, feeding/sleeping schedules, eco-friendly living, budgets, husbands, marriage, job loss, moving, cars, loss of a pregnancy/baby or loved one, or anything else that you may be curious about....please feel free to ask me.  I am hoping to get questions from you either by email or on OTTWs Facebook wall or PM.  Then every Friday, I will answer one or two of these questions.  I will keep these questions anonymous if you want me to.

Thank you all so much for your support over the years.

Trials of a Parent

I have been trying for months now to figure out how to dip my toe into the proverbial pool of controversial subjects.  It started over a year ago with talks of vaccinations causing autism and then the staggering evidence that the doctor conducting that study was out right falsifying all of his information...to the point where he was including subjects that were not even real people.  I really wanted to voice my opinion on vaccinations, and I have here and there hinted on my stance with that subject....but I didn't know how to approach it so that both sides would be able to read and understand my points without being offended.  Same with the subject of circumcision.  That came up when we were pregnant with Little Man.  I would love to tell you my reasoning behind my personal decision, but I don't want to sway anyone's decision one way or the other on it.  Basically because it is just that....a personal decision.

So now, this post has come up to choice and judgement.
