So You Didn't Want To Know About: My Blog

Velkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome, chez mon avis! 

My irrepressible need to share information has finally overwhelmed my need to spend my recreational internet time on facebook, pinterest, and disney vacation message boards. See, I've known that normal people don't care to know all of the things that I care to know about for quite some time but have dismissed it. If only people knew what I've learned they would be overcome with my insatiable hunger for information (about everything besides politics thankyouverymuch)! 

Well - let's be honest. I'm kind of a weirdo. Real life doesn't revolve around primary research or mitigating statistical risk, and in real life people with an information-sharing problem like mine are kind of a nuisance. So I am indulging in a little solipsistic rambling. (What is the internet for if it isn't for vanity and patting one's self on the back?)

My current foci are all things parenting (pregnancy, birth, nursing, rearing) which are often hotly contended, mostly because parents feel tremendous pressure and judgement and very little affirmation. All I can offer is what I have chosen is best for *my* family and why. If you agree with my conclusion? Great. If you disagree? Great. You cannot live my life just as surely as I cannot live yours. We plug along doing our best in life and hoping and praying for God (or whatever power to which you ascribe - including the power of self) to fill in where we are lacking. 

Clear cut safety issues aside (I'm thinking proper car seat use) there are virtually no black-and-white parenting issues. Our lives are so diverse, and the weight that empirical evidence or professional opinion play in our decisions varies greatly, as it should. I am not here to make choices for you or brow beat you into making the same choices that were right for me.

I'm carving out time to write between feedings, floor puzzles, school pick ups, and snacks - there may or may not be adequate time for proof reading and I may or may not care. Let's let the previous sentence serve as a blanket apology to my inner grammar critic and yours. If I have to care about the perfect word choice and comma placement I will never get anything posted - then how will I share all of my opinions?!? T'would be a travesty!

Disclaimers set and out of the way - let's get into all those things you never wanted to know about in the first place (but I can't keep to myself)!

You're welcome to comment and tell me how awesome I am or leave a suggestion for something you *do* want to know about.
