From time to time I come across companies, organizations and websites that I think are of interest or that might have value for my customers. This is my forum for sharing those finds with you. The advent of our first child has drastically changed our interests around here and I think you'll find that motherhood has affected this page as well. As the owner and chief cook and bottle washer (literally), I get to place whatever I want on this page so bear with me as I let a little bit of my personality show through!

"Attachment Parenting is a philosophy based in the practice of nurturing parenting methods that create strong emotional bonds, also known as secure attachment, between the infant and parent(s). This style of parenting encourages responsiveness to the infant or child's emotional needs, and develops trust that their emotional needs will be met. As a result, this strong attachment helps the child develop secure, empathic, peaceful, and enduring relationships." ~Attachment Parenting Int'l
