So there is this Buzzfeed video going around (there is ALWAYS a Buzzfeed video going around), "Here are the types of Moms you meet". It's hysterical, but also sad. I am glad there is a sense of humor about the pervasive mommy culture that exists in our times, but really? It's like World War V being a woman and being a mother sometimes. There is a constant competition and judgement. How natural are you? How long did you breastfeed? Did you breastfeed? What Are your views on breastfeeding? YOU'RE BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC??? Ewww please cover up.....And that's just breastfeeding.... Don't get me started on which diapers you use, when you're child hit their milestones, are you enough of a helicopter mom, is everything you feed your child free range, organic, home cooked, sugar free, gluten free, nut free.....how about just free for those of us trying to make ends meet???
Why did I just write a huge run on paragraph with improper punctuation AND why can't we just support each other as women and mothers? Something to think about while we self righteously judge our fellow woman who vaccinates or does not vaccinate her child, while we self righteously proclaim our feeding, clothing and child rearing practices to be superior. Anyway, rant over for now.

I am the queen of starting projects and not finishing them, dreaming of enterprises and not acting on them, buying things with a purpose and then fearful of using and enjoying said things. This blog for example. My intention was to write a bit every day. Not a blog about anything specific because I am no expert or even amateur at things like cooking, DIY, saving money, fashion etc. Not a parenting blog, because as a first time mommy of one, I am hardly an expert at that either, in addition to the  fact that I am just not interested in contributing to current mommy culture. And what is current mommy culture? Well, that would be a topic for another post. In short though, I prefer not share my parenting practices and preferences. I've made this choice so as not contribute to a culture where we have become judgmental instead of supportive of our fellow women and our fellow people. As my MIL said to my several months ago, however you choose to mother and love your baby is the right way. I am not sure where this blog will go, but for now I'm signing off.
