The Calm without the storm

We have been back a week now and 2014 is shaping itself. Our week of birthdays has been a beautiful, enchanting and engaging (if sometimes chaotic ) celebration of these fabulous and full on little ladies. It was in the midst of this week I found myself looking for resources that might help me better meet their ever changing parenting needs.

In this search I stumbled upon this article and it was such a brilliant reminder of what i want to teach my kids through my parenting.

The idea of calm parenting really resonates for me. However in many ways it is foreign to how I was parented and as a result opposite to my default settings. But I like it and I like how i feel when I am this kinda parent so I am reminding myself of these strategies and seeing some love results already.
