Welcome!

I recently graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors Degree in Home and Family Living. In other words, I have a degree in Mothering but I want more out of this degree. I want to help others and be helped by others. My ultimate goal is to get to share experiences of mothers in these modern times. They have either chosen to have the career and family, or are the stay at home mom- which isn't the easiest at times! I would love it if you left a comment on what you've experienced about motherhood, maybe things you would have changed, or any advice on what you've learned. Please share this site with friends and family. Hopefully we all can learn from each other to help us be the best mothers out there!

Friday question: TV?



So here is how its going to go: Every friday I'll ask a question, giving you the weekend to think and respond to it. Then on Monday I'll post interesting studies or even ideas from other comments. So to start it all off- Is it ok for your children to watch tv, and when is it ok to start and how long? So there are three questions there.
My little 19 month old just discovered he LOVES Toy Story- and even more Buzz Lightyear. Every morning when he wakes up the first thing he says is "Buzz" and he continues to want to watch it throughout the day. He would watch it continually if he could. He even woke my up one morning, poking my eye, and saying, "Buzz," poke, "Buzz," poke.... So that is what sparked the question- TV- good or bad? Let me know your thought or insights!

Day 587

I've been a mother for 587 days. It seems like only yesterday when I held my little boy in my arms as the doctors checked his APGAR scores. What a journey it has been and what a journey it will continue to be. Today is my first day on this blog. My ultimate goal is to get to share experiences of mothers in these modern times. They have either chosen to have the career and family, or are the stay at home mom- which isn't the easiest at times! I would love it if you left a comment on what you've experienced about motherhood, maybe things you would have changed, or any advice on what you've learned. Please share this site with friends and family. Hopefully we all can learn from each other to help us be the best mothers out there!
