I find myself in constant conversations with other moms about our parenting styles and one thing that we all have in common is we want to be present parents. What does being a present parent mean to me?
- Being able to take my son to story time every Saturday
- Being able to witness every milestone (i.e. sitting up on his own unassisted and eating his first solid food)
- Watching him splash in the bath tub
- Reading Moo Baa La La La a million times and Singing Sesame Street “Letter of the Day”
I’m no perfect parent and I’m literally winging this parenthood thing. I asked my son just now how I’m doing as a parent and he clapped his hands and said “Ba Ba Ba”, which means pretty awesome mom! LOL.
Allow me to reintroduce myself:
- 28 years young
- Mommy of 1
- Wife
- Foodie
- Travel Junkie
In the words of Tigger “Ta Ta for Now”
Stay Present, JJ’s Mom ❤
