How are outside influences, such as friends and family or even social media, impacting the way you view your motherhood? How were you parented and what aspects of that do you want to include in your parenting method? What do you NOT want to include? Create your Motherhood Philosophy statement: 1-2 sentences that summarize your ideal vision of yourself, the tools and tactics you are comfortable using, and the parenting methods that do not belong in your home.   Thanks to Streamlined Motherhood sponsor, Basal Baby, your go to source for 100% GOTS certified organic cotton baby basics at a great price.
