Peace on Earth

December 13, 2007 · 10 comments

I love this commercial.

A message board I used to frequent had long discussions about this commercial – how it “glamorized disposable diapers” and how those “poor little babies were all alone in their cribs”. I’m all for the natural lifestyle, but really? It’s a commercial, and a sweet one at that. Those were the days when I would question my mothering skills and wonder if I was doing the right things. But then one day it hit me. We all have to do what’s best for our own family. Soon thereafter, I stopped visiting that place. It got me all worked up and worried and I realized I didn’t need it. I still visit sometimes, just to see what’s going on, but now I roll my eyes and click the little x when something annoys me.

And speaking of doing what we have to do… here’s my wee one last night. I was petrified I was going to wake him with the flash, but it was worth it.sleepingoog.jpg

I am always amazed at people who spend so much time and energy telling people how to live a life that is not THEIRS.

We are not cookie cutter people, people! It is what makes the earth both ugly and staggeringly beautiful. You can\'t have one without the other.

Do what works for you and gives you happiness.

(Except, don\'t ever use imitation vanilla. I draw the line at that. :))
