Argghhh
Her current favorite is this one. Apparently she is so adept at pushing buttons on the phone that she managed to start a blog post to share it. So, I figured I could help her out and finish the post. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: it's fun the first time or two...by time 209, not as much...

Co-sleeping
I believe parents should do what is best for their child, and I believe that will be different for each child. I also believe parents should seek out information about how to care for their children, how to parent (in a variety of ways), child psychology, child development, and seek out wise and good examples for parenting. Parenting is hard work and it can be easy to do what is easy or what your parents did without thinking about what habits or behaviors you might be forming or fostering for your child without even realizing. What we do matters. All of it. And that shouldn't drive us to paranoia or insanity about each and every decision, but it should drive us to care about what we do and how we do it.

Gratitude take 3
It's been a month and a half since I last posted a gratitude list. I think it's time to add a few more.
(I'm not sure what number I was on. I'll start with 50 and catch up if I need to)
50) a husband who has no problem cleaning the house
51) a really good dinner ready when I got home
52) self control
53) teaching the Bible
54) an intelligent, capable, and curious daughter
55) trusted friends
56) a little self indulgence
57) jacuzzi time
58) parents who pray with and for me/us
59) a loving church family
Posting ease
I regularly lament not having more time to blog. I simply don't have (make?) the time to do it. But now they make it accessible on your phone, and I finally downloaded the app. So maybe I have a chance to be a bit more regular in my writing. Here's to hope in all things being possible!
