I don't want women the world over to have to separate from their partners just to get some breathing room and to feel like a grown up. There has to be a middle ground and clearly Rooster and I had no idea how to make that happen and neither do any of my friends. It wasn't until I left the building that he was able to spread his parenting wings and really take over for me. I get that marriage and relationships are hard, but are we making them harder than they have to be by simply not giving ourselves permission to leave the house if that's what we really need to do?
Carnival of Natural Parenting
After a month off for the babymoon, the Carnival of Natural Parenting is back for July! Tell us your parenting philosophy. Submissions are due Tuesday, July 5.
From Natural Parents Network in a week on Balance:
I have to say I've found this week's posts extremely meaningful. Often the 8th principle of attachment parenting is the one most often neglected. And it speaks to the article from This Is Worthwhile as well — this notion of being ourselves and prioritizing our lives, nurturing ourselves even as we nurture our children. (See also: "AP Principle #8: Balance and how you can't do it all, at least not all at once" and "Writing as a parent.")Giveaways!

That picture is GORGEOUS!! And I must say, that we continue to have those "forgetting to connect" moments even though we're back home. I think it's a product of Kieran being 3.5yrs old and mama being pregnant ;)
Good luck with the in-laws!!
