Let's start from the beginning.

On August 30, 2007 my son, Alec Phelps, came into this world. I never really knew how much becoming a mother would really change your life. Sure, it's a baby, but aside from a few minor setbacks your life is just going to resume how it was before right? WRONG. I never knew how wrong I could be. All of a sudden I went from making sure I was showered and fed to worrying about things like if this little person has burped enough, or checking fifteen times a night if he's still breathing. The older he got, the more I had to worry about. So I turned to the internet to help me find ways to make me life alot less stressful. I wanted to find the best ways to take care of my little one. I soon discovered that even though I was going against everybody else's comments and "spoiling my baby" it was actually a well studied form of parenting called "Attachment Parenting." I was actually doing something right out of instinct and now I know to follow my motherly intuition to the end. Recently, this entails a dramatic life change for myself to better my child. I've become entirely more eco-friendly and have recently taken the PETA pledge to try vegetarianism for 30 days, and maybe even for the rest of my life. This is my journey on trying to sort out all the information I'm getting thrown at me and deciding for myself what's best for Alec. Enjoy! It's going to be a wild ride!
