No!!!
Yes, (evil laughter), another Mommy Blog (more evil laughter)!!! Life is a story, mine at the moment just happens to occur mostly at home, which means no sword fights or dragons, but plenty of peril, misadventure, and food. Like all good stories we will skip the boring parts (like laundry). So gird up your loins and let us commence with some real domestic adventures; don't forget your sense of humor.

The Most Important and Best Parenting Advice Ever!
Yes, I know every mommy blog claims just that at some point, but this is the real deal, the thing that will give your kid the best chance in life: love. No, I'm not talking about letting junior do whatever they want because that's love, it isn't, it's indulgence or laziness or a thousand other things, but it ain't love. C.S. Lewis's 'The Four Loves' is a great read for anyone struggling with this concept, which would be every human person. Love in its purest and best form is doing what is best for the beloved, not what the beloved wants or what the lover feels like, but doing the hard things, the painful things, the boring things. So love your kids, yourself, and your spouse, it isn't easy, but it's been proven time and again to be the best way not only to raise kids, but to live and flourish, anything less is mere survival.
