As you may have jaloused if you’ve spent any time at all in my little corner of the bloggy world, community is a big deal for me.

Be Thou My Vision {Guest Posting at The Better Mom}

Finally, some friends of ours introduced …
Love at First Sight? What if you don’t bond with your baby?
When my first child was born back in 2005, I was ready. I had wanted a baby for a long time; I had spent my adolescence babysitting and working with children in all sorts of forums and formats; I had planned, read and thought about every aspect of my pregnancy, delivery, and the first days at home with baby.
