I hope, writing here as often as I can, that these will inspire, encourage and enlighten all women and men who are becoming parents nowadays.

Everyone always says "If I knew then what I know now..." My hope is that I can show you how

Most people give advice, even unsolicited, to save their audience from the pain they had experienced, or to help the hearer's salvage some of so much wasted time in our lives.

My hope is you will be open to these varying "opinions".
