In regard to Time's cover article, "Are you Mom Enough," this blog hop is an attempt to take down walls between moms. Yes, I breastfeed my 4 year old AND 2 year old. No, I did not intend to do it going in... and in fact, I do not expect anyone else to do the same. What we do need is more support among moms. Moms who do their research and figure out what works well for their family (including baby's needs too!) have it hard enough. As a very trying to be attached mom.. I don't NEED to be mom enough! I just need to be able to parent as best as I can without media sensationalizing something natural!
So, if you ARE NOT Mommy Enough, Join this Blog Hop for Saturday, May 11, 2012... and then, on Mother's day (here in the US), the 13th, let's all come together, smile at each other. Whether it is a mom struggling at the store to keep the bottle of Five Hour Energy from their 2 year old's hands (That was me today, trying to find Time Magazine!) or it is a mom breastfeeding her four year old at the park. Smile and know that we're all in this together. Even if we are choosing different paths.
- Link to a post that includes something POSITIVE about honest parenting
- You can include a post of you breastfeeding your toddler/preschooler/other kiddo.
Share and show love to your fellow mommy bloggers!
So I am not mommy enough. Are you?

That would mean I would have to know how to post a new blog. ;o)
I'm in the middle of moving so don't think that's going to happen in the next week or so although I do have a blog on blogger: HeatherMcG2012
I started attachment parenting back in 1992...but we didn't know it was called that then. I have BF all 4 of my children, I waited for my last to self-wean which after her third birthday I knew was not going to happen so I ended up weaning her in her 4th year because I needed to.I never used formula and I didn't pump. I took my son to work with me at the age of 3 months and worked with him for a year. I CDd 2 kids and miss it.I babywore and my son is intact . So I guess you can say I support the cause! Best of luck!
Thanks for sharing :)
I am not blogging about parenting. Being the mom to a teenager, I don't think, I have much to write about parenting.
Any blog can be a part... the point is to have a peaceful mother's day. No mommy wars for mother's day!!
I totally agree with what you're saying here - everyone makes their own choices, in parenting and life in general. We are all weakened when one of us decides they are "better" or "right" and makes another person feel like a failure or outcast because of it.
