Mama knows best...

I loved this blog post by "The Gypsy Mama" so much that I had to repost it...especially for my friends who are now becoming first time moms.  
I feel like I read so much and got so much advice when our first baby girl was born...so much so, that if I encountered a problem that I couldn't find in a book, I freaked out...I needed the parenting to be by the book.  And it just isn't....
I love what gypsy mama says here about mama knowing best.  My sweet friend Carin probably gave me the best advice of all...and that was just to go with my instincts...that I was my baby girl's only mother and only I knew instinctively the right thing to do with her...regardless of what anyone or any books told me. I will never forget that advice and I repeat it OFTEN! 


I love when gypsy mama talks about getting ice cream at inappropriate times and letting the kids crawl in bed with her...I just love everything about this article.  So go with your guts, ladies!  Be the best mama you can be and that will be exactly what they need :)
