For 15 months, I tried to do everything right. I studied articles from baby websites and magazines, attended parenting education classes, and compared best practices with other moms. I followed a schedule, served organic produce, limited sweets, kept the TV off, and faithfully brushed Viv’s six tiny teeth every night in the bath.
I’m not saying I was a perfect mom. I screwed up plenty—just not on purpose.
Then my daughter got her first fever and all my rules went out the window…
Read the rest at Circle of Moms where I am guest blogging. (I know, what a slut. Guest blogging all over town.) And by all means, leave a comment – there or here. Thanks!
writer currently at home with my little girl, Viv. The twist is that while I am raising my daughter, I am also planning my wedding to her father.
