I have a big learning curve ahead of me (always) with my daughter so I will do my best to read what I can, from reliable sources, so I can do my best as a mom.<br /><br />I lived with the word balance for year. Having that as my focus really allowed me to get things just right that year. (I'll be blogging more about that idea on Thursday on TWT.)<br /><br />PS Thanks for offering to be the welcome wagon!Staceyhttp://twowritingteachers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
