Okay so duh. Sorry I didn’t check your blog out before asking you more about montesorri. Either way, I am so impressed with you, in awe of you and just plan giddy thinking about reading your blog going forward. Going from one to two has been… I can’t even articulate how crazy,full,exciting,exhausting,painful,guilt ridden, soul searching, relationship changing this past year has been, but reading your posts is like a breath of fresh air and knowing that I am not alone in my feelings (or at least I think we have some similar thoughts) is reassuring. Thank you. I’d still love to hear from you so if you want to email back via FB or just regular email please do. I am currently reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and now reading your blog makes me think you might enjoy the book too… check it out.
Hugs,
G
