Follow my island

If you follow me here check out my other blog. The island of Leilani. In this blog I am trying to capture life from my perspective as a mother of 8. mastering motherhood while maintaining my cool! We all know we have those day's where it would be soooo much easier to force the lil people to do as you say rather than teach and assist them in growing to become completely independent of you. I mean who knows better than mom? right! hahah
Well, when they were nursing it was my desire to ultimately wean them from my boob and help them to make food choices that would ultimately please them and give them what they want.    Now I hope to wean them from my approval and nurture their own approval.  Is it not better to know they are strong and independent beings because of my influence, rather than dependent insecure beings because of my micro managing?....hmmmm just another thought as i leap into a better me!
