Thank you so much, Andrea!  What a blessing!

There are now three new pages at the top of this blog where the “Home” and “About” tags are.  One details posts available in Spanish, one is a fast primer on discipline, and one lists the pregnancy/breastfeeding/baby/toddler links on this blog.

Thanks for checking it all out!

Blessings,

Carrie

Lovey has a new site with some interesting things on it….See here:

Nice to have you back, Lovey! 

Here are two mothers that recently implemented some things I have written about with success; thought you all might like a peek:

Eileen has a very heartfelt post here about Waldorf Afterschooling, and the agony that often goes into a decision about whether to send our children to school or to homeschool:  http://eileensplace.blogspot.com/

There is always something beautiful over at Are So Happy:  http://aresohappy.squarespace.com/   and here at Uncommon Grace:  http://uncommongrace.typepad.com/uncommongrace/  and here at That Artist Woman:  http://thatartistwoman.blogspot.com/  and over here at Catherine’s:

I also like Melisa Nielsen’s blog here:  http://waldorfjourney.typepad.com/a_journey_through_waldorf/   and Annette’s blog here:  http://natural-childhood.blogspot.com/   and  glimpsing into the lives of the Tan family:  http://syrendell.blogspot.com/

I try not to  stop to look at other people’s blogs daily, because that is too much time on the computer for me and I get sucked into Rabbit Trails (and Rabbit Holes that I can’t get out of!)  I really only have enough time to sweep through email and write a bit, but I really do appreciate all the beautiful and informative things people put on their blogs and I appreciate all of you who make this blog one of your few daily stops as you get on with living and doing!

Many blessings and In Much Gratitude,

Carrie

Fabiola, thank you for translating this for all of my Spanish-speaking readers!

Many blessings,

At some point in the future I would like to move this onto a website and have it be more than just a blog.  One thing that increasingly concerns me is that there are now something like 400 posts on this blog, and I would like to have more permanent pages so it is easier to find things – maybe pages by chronological age of the child or parenting topic.

I hope at some point in the future to gather some of the scattered information and compose them into e-books as well. 

Any thoughts for what you all would like to see??

This blog got 700-something hits a MONTH in the beginning (last November) and is now getting over 1000 hits a DAY! Now that’s progress!  Thanks everyone!

Thank you for reading!

Carrie

have a Personal Mission Statement or a Family Mission Statement they would be willing to share?  I have gotten several emails and comments that putting one together seems difficult and I feel perhaps some mothers need examples to look at and see how this could really apply to their own families!

Thank you, dear readers, in advance.  I appreciate you all and thank you for reading and helping other mothers!

Love,

Carrie

A passageway, as one would guess, is a conduit to the next thing – a way that allows movement from one place, condition or stage to the other.  This blog is entitled  “The Parenting Passageway” as it is intended to help support and encourage parents as they  journey from being a single individual  and/or the duality of being a couple to being  an awakened parent and unified family.  The ideas here are not completely new, but hopefully  will still provide you, the reader, with some “a-ha” moments of clarity to ponder in your parenting journey .  Whether you agree or disagree with what I have to say…. Thanks for reading and welcome again to this site!
