Dipping My Big Toe Into the World of Blogging

Okay, I'm moving up a couple of notches in the world of technology. I have finally joined Facebook and am now creating a new blog. Isn't this an amazing time and place we live in?

I'll post my experiences with my two kids here and my thoughts about parenting. I have a rather unique perspective on parenting because I am a parent educator, a parent coach and a mom- all at the same time.

I'm also the co-author of a Love and Logic book called Parenting Children with Health Issues. I wrote this book with Foster Cline MD who is a child psychiatrist and co-founder of Love and Logic.

Both of my kids have cystic fibrosis so this book has been a real blessing to me and my family. I wanted to write it because there isn't another book out there like it and I knew I really needed it. Plus I knew it would help many others, too, and Dr. Cline was kind enough to agree to help me. So, I've learned an awful lot since we started this project in 2004 and I am excited to share with you.

With kids, there is never a dull moment. They continually cook up the unexpected. So, I get to experiment first-hand with all of the new parenting tools I learn and will have plenty of stories to share with you. I hope my experiences will give you some insight and tips for parenting your own kids, too.

So, welcome to my blog and I hope you pop in often to see what's up!

Happy Parenting!
