I like to read. Might have been how I wound up in grad school for English. Anyway, I've noticed that I'm a more patient/peaceful/aware parent after I've been reading parenting philosophy. This can't be a coincidence. So I'm going to start my day every day reading a brief article/book segment to help me rethink how I approach parenting that day. Now I don't dream that I'll spend everyday switching parenting philosophies, instead these pieces will focus on gentle parenting, consensual living, attachment parenting, green living, etc. Once a week, I will aim to read a piece on building a stronger marriage, because it needs to be a priority too. Everyday I will post what I'm reading and link to it, and I'd be thrilled if you would read along and respond with your thoughts.
Here's the scoop:
- I am all-inclusive, therefore the pieces will be secular.
- I am not espousing the methods of the author. If I like it, I will write more on the ideas. The initial reading is purely inspirational.
- This is a buffet - take what you want and leave the rest.
I'll still be posting several times a week, but I will post readings 5-7 times a week. I look forward to some good discussion!

I love this idea! I'm looking forward to the posts :)
What a great idea! I feel I'm more patient with my 3 year old when I've been reading too. I'm going to try to participate in the discussions too.
What a fantastic idea! I look forward to reading along with you!
