My Meeting today

Today was our Attachment Parenting Meeting here in little old Clovis New Mexico. I started this group nearly 6 months ago, and so far so good. It is the first group in the entire state of NM. Our meetings vary in size depending on holidays and what not, but over all has been regular. This month, we had several new moms show up and I am very excited about that. Today we had 18 moms come, which equals even more kids, lol.

The meeting today was on slings and cloth diapers. Jami, one of our members offered to head up this meeting since she knows a lot in both areas, and of course I took the opportunity to have a break. She did well, and had many different examples of cloth diapers, and different types of slings. It was great.

I feel great. This is something I am really excited about, and passionate about. I honestly believe we can change the world we live in, starting with our children. Through AP I am teaching my child love, empathy, respect, independence, honor, and so much more. I love the fact that I am at a place in my life where I can share what I have learned with others. When I first started planning this I thought I was nuts, lol, Jerry thought it was a great idea. We had seen how AP had worked so well for us. I really love being able to meet new moms in the area that are attempting to raise their children in a similar fashion. There is also a military base here, and many of the women are away from their support systems, and families, and the group offers them something great as well.

I just had to blurb about the group today because we had our meeting, and their were even more new moms, and it is so exciting to see something that you created, growing into something bigger and better. In four months we have 20 members, who knows how big it will get.
