About

So who am I? I was given the name Janet and well I am many things.. First and foremost I am a MAMA! I have a son "LJ" who is 1 year old and I adore him more than words could explain. I have been a stay at home mom since he was born. I attempted going to work my maternity leave was done, but it was too hard on me leaving him for several hours throughout the days but it was too hard on me. I love being home with my son even  on the days when its tough and I feel like somehow there was extra hours added on to the day. I'm not a perfect mom., I will be the first to admit I do make mistakes. I forget things all the time. I have walked out of the house with 2 different shoes. I have forgotten the diapers or the wipes. I sometimes forget who is in charge, but despite all these things.. I love my family and I believe that I am a GOOD MAMA!!

My family? My husband is a wonderful man. He tolerates my tiredness, my moodiness and from time to time my sassiness. Despite his long shift hours he is the most patient, selfless, and kind hearted person I know. Most importantly he is also a wonderful father. My son "LJ" has the sweestest funniest personality and I must admit sometimes I think he has the "terrible-ones" (there has to be such thing right?!). He loves being outdoors and is amazed with anything that has to do with nature.

That pretty much sums it up! Besides the eyerolls, whispers and stares when my son is having an anxiety attack at the grocery store, restaurants or even the airport I believe I am a GOOD MAMA! I am criticized as I to how I decide to parent, but I do not let that get to me as much as it did when my child first arrived. One thing I learned after becoming a mom is that you can't win, you can't please everyone. Sometimes I feel like others would love to run my life, it's always a problem even down to how I should not have a nap schedule for my son or how many children I should plan to have. At the end of the day it is no ones business how we parent our children, we all do what we feel works best for our family and guess what it works because we love them more than words can express. We want what is best for them and if we need advice we will ask for it!
