Letting go

Madison has just recently turned 13 months and with that in the last month she has also started walking, everywhere. At first she just started out walking between me and my husband and then she got braver and learned to turn she would go to something in between us. Then we found her getting braver and braver, taking steps on her own. But with all of this I have learned she wnats her independence. She wants to be free to roam around the house and do as she pleases!

I have learned I have to accept the fact she is not a teeny tiny baby anymore. One that I can just cuddle and hold all day long. That's about the last thing she wants right now! Mike, my husband said to me last night, " Cut, the strings and let her go!" Meaning let her do her own thing. if she falls let her get herself back up. Let her be independent!

Boy, am I having a hard time with that! As much as i want her to grow up and turn into a independent lady of her own. I also want to hold her back and keep her little forever. So I am slowly letting her free and letting her roam and become the toddler that she is! But it is going to take me sometime before I can officially cut the strings! They are sort of torn and frayed right now!

Dove Sponsorship of Moms Group!

I am so excited to announce that the moms group that I organize, The New Moms of South Orange County, is being sponsored by Dove Deodorant!

As new moms we can all relate to feeling the pressures of motherhood. There are so many demands on all of us- being a wife, learning what it takes to be a mom, working outside of the home, the list goes on and on! Dove has always been a supporter for real women and who is more real than the New Moms in our group!!!

Thanks, Dove, for your support!
