Procrastination...

Mother Mary publicly breastfeeding baby Jesus.

As you can see it has been awhile since I've posted anything to this "blog". I had great intentions and seriously wanted to begin blogging but realized I couldn't hold myself to the daily postings so I simply shut down. But today I have a renewed energy and motivation. My son is now 2-years old and has found ways of entertaining himself at times when I need to do some research or get online. Hopefully I can find the energy to get online after the babes are asleep as I don't want this to pull me from my motherly duties. My children come first and everything else gets re-prioritized as priorities change.

I will be posting about several topics I hold near and dear to me. Mostly parenting, cooking, and a few social/political issues. As I share my thoughts and beliefs about certain issues, please understand I truly do it with love. I don't mean to turn anyone off or away and sometimes I may come across as intolerant but that is the furthest from the truth. I am probably one of the most accepting and tolerant people I know. I have friends from every political leaning and extreme and they are my friends because all politics aside, I know they would be there for me if I ever needed them. They are my friends and have supported me through emotional difficulties, the loss of my dad and brother, failed marriages, and the ups and downs my family has experienced as a poor Mexican family growing up with a single mom. I also have friends who disagree with many of my beliefs both Christian and secular. Some of my friends do and believe in things I don't, but there is some commonality that bounds us together and that is what I hold on to and why we remain friends. Not all of my friends have breastfed or kept their sons and daughters intact. And not all of my friends parent as I do. Not all of my friends vote the way I do. That's okay. 

So if at times I seem intolerant, please email me and remind me the most effective methods of change require love, compassion, and gentle prodding. I will do my best to hold to my Christian beliefs of love and compassion and articulate my thoughts in ways that I think bring honor to my Lord and my causes. 

Here is what you can expect: Food, food, and more food. Parenting, cooking, and baking with love. Intactivism with love and breastfeeding news and support. Every now and then I'll share articles on relationships as we all can use help in that area. And I'm sure there will be much more. 

Thanks for riding along and I hope you enjoy this journey with me.
