As someone from a previous parenting generation, I cannot tell you how encouraging it is to see young families making choices similar to those my generation made (despite pressures to achieve in the "outside" world) o be present with our youngsters during the "never to return" years. Introducing personal family rituals around meals and seasons, so that children learn first hand from their first role models, that they are part of nature, not separate from it. Three cheers for this blog! I will share it with my own children and stepchildren as they go about their own parenting. Thank you for making time to document the journey. We know it's never easy to juggle "it all."
