Introducing……

Raising kids with LOVE ♦ January 16, 2012 ♦ Leave a comment

I want you to get to know my children as we journey together.

Introducing my oldest, Corri.  I have a special place in my heart for oldest children and only children.  What experiments they are!  No matter how many books you read before you have a child, you are never prepared for the many emotions and challenges that first child brings.  It is hard to explain to a couple BEFORE their child arrives, how much your heart grows to hold the amount of love a parent has for a child.

Corri was the sweetest baby, with a wonderful temperament.  I tried to do all the “right” things, because for heaven’s sake I KNEW them.  I had a cabinet full of books!  Together, my husband Brad, Corri and I grew up.  And, in spite of Brad and I she is a successful 25 year old woman who is very creative and in marketing.  She is my mentor for this blog!

Corri taught me that as long as you provide a loving environment for your child, all will usually be good.  Did I make mistakes?  Of course.  But looking at Corri, I learned that you don’t have to be perfect to be the perfect parent!

Take a breath, enjoy the joyful moments of each day, and remember you don’t have to be perfect to be the perfect parent.
