Visit my new blog! But don't expect daily entries since I am a busy homeschooling mom of four active boys. Thanks!

Today's society is technologically-driven and fast-moving. Parents are easily caught up in the quest for convenience, the trendiest new baby device, or the hippest parenting advice. But babies have very simple, yet specific needs that cannot be met by technology or the latest baby expert. In general, babies thrive when they are allowed to nurse, according to their needs, and to be held in loving arms as much as possible.

When you are able to let go of our modern society’s influences, you are left with the God-given instincts to nurture and protect. For thousands of years, women around the world have been breastfeeding and keeping their babies close without the "benefit" of experts telling them to. The desire to nourish your child, protect him, and teach him all come from your heart...a mother’s heart.

Attachment parenting, responsive parenting, or natural parenting, whatever you call it, it is simply mothering by heart.
