It has been too long since I've blogged. Oh I hope that doesn't become the norm while I post. But, as many new moms know and well, anyone who has anything going on in their life besides watching TV all day would know, life. is. busy. But today, I wanted to share especially with one of my dear friends who is expecting her first child in late winter. As a new mom, there were certain things I swore I would not do. And as I also work at a school, I see too many things that I don't want to do and too many moms I don't want to be like. So, while I was pregnant, me and my holier-than-thou attitude thought of the many things I would NOT allow my child to do.

1. no pacifier. ever. word to the wise: if the baby wants it, give in. if me & the hubby both needed braces, chances are, so will my kid. Especially while baby is teething...oi vei.
2. no t.v. word to the wise: when the baby is screaming with no end in sight, you'll try anything.
3. no jarred food. word to the wise: making enough baby to have at every meal every day with a growing kid is tough. work. and for some reason I didn't think through when I traveled with the baby what I would do for food....
4. nothing but organic. word to the wise: not everything comes in organic. must. be. flexible.
