Given the sporadic nature of my blogging perhaps it's crazy to attempt to blog every day for the month of October with the Nester from Nesting Place... but I am. The idea is to blog for 31 days straight on the one topic. I didn't think I had a topic, turns out I do.
I have not been the all loving, all serene parent I would like to be. I have in fact yelled and smacked. I am not acting as I want as a person or a mother. I am trying to change my behaviour, and I'm hoping that committing to write and reflect on this issue every day for the next month will help.
I have a lot of parenting books and my plan is to pull a gem from one of them every day and report in on whether I managed to parent without losing my cool or not.
