“Sleep Training”

I believe in attachment parenting, in that I believe a healthy attachment between parents and children is important.  Contrary to popular opinion, this does not mean I believe there is only one way to do things.  It means I believe every child is very different and, as his/her parent, you have a unique insight into what he/she needs and it is your responsibility to listen and respond to those needs.

If you want to know what I did: I coslept with my baby for the first three months of his life and then, at that point, I slowly transitioned him to his crib over the next three months for his comfort because I felt he was not sleeping well in our bed.  I followed my own unique combination of strategies which I created with suggestions from the books “The Baby Whisperer” and “Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child” (and I felt like a complete amateur EVERY STEP of the way).  I made mistakes and listened to people’s opinions even when I was not comfortable with them (something I wish I had not done), but in the end, I feel I found the solution that worked for us.

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
