Have you ever wondered whether or not things would get better, if they would just ease up, or if life could simply just calm down for one minute?
Being a mom or dad is not easy. Being an attachment parenting mom or dad can feel even more daunting simply because there is much less support in our close-knit communities for the choices we make and AP moms and dads can demand more of themselves by being... well, attached. It is a lonely venture but rewarding all the same. Of course, I am speaking from my own experience as both an AP mom and a student, as well as living away from my partner during the week. Point is, I'm a little biased, but who isn't?
My hope with this blog is to give you that much needed and much deserved support. I will be telling you about my experiences as an AP mom, as well as give advice on all things AP (and more,) such as breastfeeding, cosleeping/bedsharing, cloth diapering, babywearing, gentle parenting, simplifying your life, baby-led weaning (BLW,) and perhaps even some of my experiences with pregnancy and labour (albeit not very AP friendly, it may be a good venue to explore how one transitions to AP.) As a pre-service teacher, I may also bring out some educational qualities to my blog, especially if they relate to the environment and forest schools. This mama loves the outdoors!
Before I get too ahead of myself, though, I'd like to end here and simply wish you the best and hope you will find love and support all around you. I may not be able to physically be a part of your lives, but perhaps I can help lift you up with pure honesty and compassion.
All the way from Canada,
Love,
Kim
