Tommy's Mommy (called T.M. on this blog) is interested in many aspects of mothering besides Elimination Communicaiton (called E.C. on this blog). Additionally, she is interested in many things that fall outside of the direct scope of "mothering". So the decision has to be made, where does the blog go from here? Rather than limiting herself to a single topic as she has done in the past, the objective will be to discuss a range of topics that will interest women at many different locations on their path through life.
Some of things that come to the top of her mind are; breastfeeding, child birth (subtopics of home birth, midwifery, unassisted birth, natural birth), breastfeeding, nourishing a family, menopause (eeeekkkk!), child training, self-sufficiency, herbalism and natural medicine, and the application of overarching principles and underlying beliefs to every aspect of life.
In recommending herself to readers, T.M. has to offer nearly a quarter of a century of mothering experience. She has recently become a grandmother, as well. She has birthed 7 children in addition to having two miscarriages. She has taken a path that started with hospital birth, the standard American diet, reliance on doctors and hospitals for health, a path that turned and now wanders in the open fields of all things natural and a rejection of self-proclaimed experts, a path which now constantly offers new wisdom found in Creation and the gleaning of nuggets from those who have gone before with success. She has not arrived, but she has definitely left certain things behind for good.
Here is a place where we can discuss past decisions and prepare for future challenges. The readers can share what they have learned and ask about what they don't know. Here is a place to share resources and journeys with candor and compassion.
