Natural Parenting Blog Party!

I am so excited to be participating in this amazing blog party and I'm looking forward to meeting some awesome ladies (and maybe even a few Dads)!  If you follow me through the blog party, be sure to leave a comment and I'll definitely follow you back!

I've got some great giveaways going on - you can check them out here!

Here are the questions that were posted to kick things off:

1.    How many children do you have, and how old are they?

I have a beautiful three year old daughter – she’s my world!

2.    Do you have a partner, or are you a single parent?

I’m married, but my husband works out of town A LOT, so I have great admiration for single parents – it’s a tough job!

3.    What are your “hot button” parenting issues? 

I try not to have any – that feels a little like judging to me.  I do hate that in the United States Doctors don’t make more of an effort to tell people how important breastfeeding is. 

4.    Have you made any parenting choices that you didn’t think you would make before you were a parent, i.e. cloth diapering a child when you had previously thought it was disgusting?

I never thought our house would be all pink and princess!  I never realized how engrained the gender differences are in some children until I had a child of my own. 

5.    Is there one book or person in particular that’s heavily influenced your parenting choices?  No

6.    If you had to describe each of your children using only one word, what word would you use?  Independent!

7.    Is there one parenting decision that you regret more than others and wish you could change? 

No – I’ve lost my temper at times and yelled, but I try not to focus on the negative and work towards being the best parent in the present moment that I can! 

8.    Is there an area of your parenting you wish you were better at? 

I wish I was more patient!

9.    Now for the fun questions – is there one particular food or type of food that you could eat every day?  Dark chocolate!

10. Vanilla ice cream or chocolate? Chocolate

11. What’s your guilty pleasure?  If I told you, it wouldn’t be my guilty pleasure : ).

12. If you could be part of any television show, which show would it be?  I think being on Glee would be fun!
