From Emma... When discussing Romeo and Juliet it seems most people take the stance of, "oh how romantic," or "Beautiful! They died for love!" Apparently this is what most people call a "love story." Please, read on. For one thing, I thought this was so funny when I read it. But then I thought about why and went through the mental questioning. What is it that makes a good love story? My husband and I met when I was 16. Though details are relatively generic and uneventful I would consider ours an incredible love story. The reason? History and experiences. Love is what grows between two people that build a life together, first through commitment and second through execution. For us, kids have only added to that joy. However, parenting tips are a lot like these misconceptions about love stories; everyone has a different idea and they are all convinced they're right. Jordan and I will be adding to our love story with another baby in April and we couldn't be more thrilled. For those of you that find yourselves in a similar position I've surfed the internet for some helpful tips that I, having already had one, can attest to. First things first, the baby shower. Now once the baby gets here there will be a lot of questions about nursing, development, etc. I hope the following helps you with your love story because once that baby is here, the circle of love just expands! I hope you've found these tips helpful and got a chuckle or two out of the read. Kids are a blast, even when it's busy, busy, busy and they are a big part of our love stories.
If your "love story" isn't going like you planned with kids or your spouse, remember it's yours and you have the power to change it. Stick your tongue in a baby bottle that's too hot once and you'll know never to do it again...trust me. Let's not fall prey to this idea that a real expression of love is 3 days, self harm, and the death of 6 other people. I believe that kind of thinking is what gets people a one way ticket to the looney bin. Keep being awesome, and go spread the good!
