As a brand new blogger and virgin to the blogging world, this should be interesting! I am a 33 year old mother of 4, wife, daughter, sister, auntie, advisor, friend, therapist, student, step mother, chef, taxi driver and child of God. Not always at once or in that order but, I'm usually one of those at least once a day. I consider myself to be open minded and extremely opinionated (yes, both). lol I have strong family convictions and realize more and more that I have no such thing as a parenting style. More, I have techniques and skills I attempt to utilize per child...how could I possibly have a style when the 6 children in my life need so many different things. 6? Yes 6, while I only have 4 natural children I also have one step child and one niece that I have been blessed to be a part of her daily life. All six require completely different things and if I stuck to one "style" none of their needs would be met. More importantly, they would loose some of the things that make them, their own unique little creature.
It is my intent to use my new blog as a written reality of my family, what works for us, what doesn't, what we've learned, how chaos is a form of function...all from my perspective!
