What does it mean to be a Mom? What qualities do you need to fulfill your mothering role? I devote much of my energy trying to answer these questions. I have read much on the subject, examining different approaches and philosophies to find where I fit into the picture. In searching for the term that describes my approach to parenting, “holistic” takes the cake. According to urbandictionary.com, holistic is defined as follows;
I am a professional mother because I want to experience motherhood in its entirety, and parenting is indeed comprised of many parts that make the whole. It’s a puzzle, and scattered throughout this website are some of the pieces. Somehow amid all of the dishes, laundry, and diapers, I’m trying to put it all together. Maybe by documenting my experiences it will help me to see the big picture.
This website is dedicated to all who share the aspiration that mothering is a joy and privilege. In my own life, I have learned so much, and now I have the opportunity to share some of the things I’ve learned on my journey.
