Another month, another pledge to do better

So my friend Becky informed me that she missed my blog posts, which finally pushed me far enough over the cliff of procrastination to actually post something here. I won't go into all of the details about why I haven't posted; nothing major, just distracted by life in general. I realized that I do have some pretty strong feelings about parenting stuff lately so maybe I will try to express some real opinions here instead of just reporting on what's happening in our lives.
